This is a classic desktop stapler that works well as a hand-held. It is of a comfortable size and weight while made mostly of metal and is curved top and bottom for a comfortable hold. This "Rexel Matador Half Strip Stapler, 25 Sheet Capacity, Metal Body, Pink, 2104382" is also available in a few other bright pastel colours probably to appeal to younger users. This was ordered to match a similarly-coloured tape dispenser from another brand that is much-favoured by a family member. This sub-range of pastel-toned machines is an extension to the standard range and more expensive.The stapler accepts either type 16 or type 56 staples, otherwise described as 24/6 and 26/6 gauges,

Upon unboxing this stapler, supplied free under the Amazon Vine programme the first reaction was that this is solidly constructed. Rexel is a well known brand in the Office Supplies business and it's the little attentions to detail that catch the eye over similar products. The construction is of good quality metal, sprayed a muted dark blue which is smooth to the touch and aesthetically pleasing, trimmed with a removable plastic foot to avoid scratching your furniture, with the part you push to operate also coated in plastic. Save for the staples themselves there are no sharp edges to catch fingers on - important if young school-age children are using to put together projects for homework.The top pulls back easily to install the required staples easily,

As a lecturer I have suffered the diktats of the Department of Education ministers and minions. Many of these directives have caused both myself and my students problems.Some of the most contentious ones are based around the production and issuing of handouts.My students have repeatedly told me that they do not want handouts hole punched and that they aren’t too fussed about them being stapled (especially when one of the decrees said that all handouts must be stapled at an angle on the top right hand side of the handout with the holes punched down the left … think about it ?!).Not only does the DoE state the exact position of the staple but it also dictates the position of the holes to be

This stapler is one of the kings of staplers. I remember having an early predecessor of this stapler 25 years ago and it's still in use today. It is constructed almost solely from metal, with a thin plastic base for stability. It feels very robust and has sufficient capacity to hold what would commonly be known as one bar of staples (in actual fact, this is half a bar of staples, but lets not get caught up in semantics).It has all the normal features of a staple, such as the capability of bending the ends of the staples inwards or outwards and a gauge on the side of the stapler which lets you know when you've just about run out of staples.

If you're looking for the type of basic stapler which can be found in homes and offices throughout the country, this is it.Put simply, it is reasonably cheap, has capacity for what is described as half a bar of 24/6 or 26/6 staples (more commonly found as a single bar of the staples which can be found in virtually every drawer) and it is claimed that it can be used to staple up to 20 pages of normal grade paper (80g/sm).One thing I do know is that these staplers don't tend to have a significantly long lifespan but even if it does break after a year or two, who cares? After all, they don't cost very much so just just buy another one (I probably won't forgive myself for saying that,

A good stapler in the Rexel range- this range now seems to have a combination of strong plastics and metal or is it coated metal? either way, it gives a nice warm feeling to the body of this essential office tool. Have no doubt about the durability of this item, it is chunky and robust. It has a heel at the back actually a spike which can be used to extract staples from paper. This works very well, instead of the separate pair of claws which we became used to in a previous generation. You can of course adjust the staple to splay out or in by rotating the strike piece, and yes, it does up to 25 sheets, no problem at all. One rather surprising plus is that it is very easy to refill.

I am happy to recommend this stapler from Rexel. You clearly get what you pay for and that is a robust and reliable stapler. Its mainly metal construction is built to last. The only bits of plastic on it is the base and the vit you use to press down on but that's just to cover it. The base feels slightly rubberised for some friction grip. I also like how the base has the type of staples that it requires to use it, in case you forget.The weight of the stapler is reassuring and it reminds you that you have bought quality not cheap.My video shows the stapler being tested using 18 ruffled sheets and two fresh sheets encasing them and the stapler using basic staples.

This really is a beautiful stapler. Each of the colours it comes in look lush - but the pastel colours don't indicate a lack of strength and function, that's for sure. It does everything you would hope, and does it very well. It really does staple 25 sheets easily, it is very easy to fill - no drama like some staplers, and it has its own built-in staple remover. It is a great size as well - neat and compact - but the quality is there and it will last you for years. I have a Rexel Bambi that is over 60, so you are getting serious quality with this brand.The one issue I have is the pricing. It is both expensive and weird. Each colour is a different price and the pink is nearly twice as costly as the yellow.

The 'Rexel Matador Half Strip Stapler, 25 Sheet Capacity, Metal Body, Cream Lemon, 2104381' is a compact metal stapler, in a bright and attractive shade of pale yellow. It does not come with staples but takes standard sized ones - Rexel No.56, 26/6 or 24/6 in other brands. It can staple up to 25 sheets at once with 24/6 staples, or up to 40 with Rexel Optima No.56 ones.There is an integrated staple remover at the rear of the stapler, which is less effective than a separate one but handy nonetheless. The packaging says that the stapler can pin and tack, however I can't figure out how you could pin with it (taking 'pin' to mean opening it out to use it to fasten paper to a noticeboard)
