Great use & price.

I've gotten decidedly cheap staples before, and actually threw them out because they would only reliably staple a single sheet of paper. This limited their usefulness to that of kindergarten art projects. Since I graduated from kindergarten several years ago, I couldn't see keeping them around, despite the pretty colors that came in the package.I've also gotten normal quality staples. They are what you expect. They work. Most of the time.My wife...we shall say...acquired a box of heavy duty staples staples. <=NOT A TYPO. I couldn't figure out why trying to staple a few sheets of paper together (better than the colorful ones from the evil blue box store could do), the staples stuck out so much...they were 3/8" long...almost as big as the ones for the T-59 staple gun in the garage (which, contrary to the naming convention, is not a suitable tool for stapling sheets of paper together. Nor is it considered a firearm, as the name would suggest, even by the state of New Jersey, lacking such determination, can not be sold on a gun broker website. Trijicon sights are, however available. The TSA's determination of its status as a firearm is a little bit different...suffice it to say: I won't be flying anywhere anytime soon.)So, that brings me to the matter at hand. Ouch. They will go into your hand. And stick into bone. On the plus side, they're nice and sharp, so they didn't tear any skin, and they didn't deform, so they were easy to grab onto with some pliers to remove. But seriously, I am writing a review of staples. I didn't think that they could be that much better than your plain vanilla staples (that reminds me of another amazing purchase on Amazon, a 16oz bottle of McCormick's pure vanilla extract for less than $8...the 1oz bottle at the grocery store goes for almost $7...if you're looking for another Amazon add-on item to make it to the magical $25 limit...). Now where was I? Ah, yes. staples. These are awesome. I actually fired up my web browser, logged my wife out of Amazon, and myself in, just to review these things after filing my taxes, and obviously using them for their intended purpose. I imagine they will work swimmingly on other things that I use staples on, like the seamstress work I can't bring myself to do. I'll update at a later date with the results of washing machine testing, as, inexplicably, the material type, grade, heat treatment, passivization, and surface treatment for these staples are not listed. As such, I don't know if they'll eventually rust, or if they are suitable for use as a structural attachment point for the micronized copper azole ledger board for my back deck. Yeah, that's right, they probably aren't long enough to go through the entire 2x, so I'll just use them on the joist hangers.These staples actually make me feel as though I didn't waste $25 on this super strong stapler that my wife acquired from work a few years back. Oh, wait, I didn't waste $25. Anyway, it actually staples through thick stacks of paper with these staples now. Oh, and the picture is wrong. My staples didn't come in a cardboard hang-tab box. They were actually in a very nice blue (my favorite color) plastic cast with a clear hinged lid.

Work great

The box says more than 70% reduction in problems, compared to standard staples. I believe it. The SF4 is slightly more expensive than standard staples, but the manufacturing is more precise and the material seems slightly thicker. Maybe a tiny bit of material difference makes a huge difference in application. Worth the slightly extra cost for significantly less hassle.

We have a wonderful faithful old stapler Swingline that works so well. Alas, finding staples was a serious challenge.Amazon to the rescue again!! Thank you so much!!
