JAM PaperStandard Size Colorful Staples - Ruby Red - 5000/box

Does not seem to be as sturdy or strong with holding papers as the regular staplers.

It feels so fancy to have colored staples, it looks much prettier when on the paper.

Sometimes, the simplest of tools are more pleasing than first suspected they'd be. Such is the case with this humble tool. Silly conclusion for most people, but I've learned to take pleasure in the less elegant items that touch life.Thank you.

The worst thing about these is that they are very flimsy and jam up the stapler a lot. I have a very sturdy stapler that I've never had issues with, but it does not process these little staples very well. They are thinner than any staples I have ever seen. Usually, 2-3 staples try to push through the machine at a time, which, of course, creates a big mess. When I do succeed in getting only one staple to process through the machine at a time, it usually just bounces off of the paper, crushing in on itself. They are very thin, and won't ever punch through more than three pages at a time. I tried piercing four pages, and I was never successful. When I went down to three pages, I was able to get through perhaps 20% of the time, with the unsuccessful times being a result of either a staple jam or a crushed staple not piercing the paper.Upon arrival, these appeared to be intact in their box-long staple columns. But, as soon as I pulled a column out of the box, it crumbled in my hand into 2-3 centimeter long blocks of staples. Having little blocks instead of long columns definitely compounds the staple-jam issues, as the beginning and end of each block is almost always an immediate jam.These are a very beautiful dark purple color. They are only painted one side, though, not completely colored. When you actually succeed in stapling one of these into a piece of paper, the corners where the staple bends over serve as a breaking-point where the paint starts to chip off. Every time, you will see the silver of the underneath-coloring shining through at the corners, and it will eventually chip off most of the staple, leaving just a speckling of purple paint left. You can also see the silver if you look at the staple from the side, as the paint is only on the direct top of the staple. Thus, you will not want to use this on anything that needs to look nice, because it does not look nice as purple, and it does not look nice as silver.

Purple is my color and my office is Purple so these match perfectly.

Stable usually come in easy to insert bars. These bars arrived broken into many pieces. I didn't return them, because I only use a few colored staples at a time but ideally they would not but broken in many pieces. Otherwise they see fine.

Love the product but a little piece of tape on the box would be helpful. Package was open in the bag so they were separated and messy. Less than ideal

The black pigment comes off very easily. Almost as if you've "sharpied" the color on...

Would give it a higher review if it hadn't of come with the staples all broken into small pieces.
