A stapler that's both practical and refreshingly pretty.

What we looked at
- 01Capacity & Performance 20 sheets, half strip (105 staples)
This is honest workhorse territory—nothing flashy, but it'll handle standard multi-page stacks. The half-strip load keeps refills manageable and the desk footprint minimal. Low-staple indicator means you won't get caught mid-stack.
- 02Design & Build Clear acrylic with gold accents, compact footprint
The transparent body lets you see your staple supply at a glance, and the gold-and-clear combo actually reads as intentional rather than plastic-y. Swingline backs it with a 1-year warranty, so durability isn't an afterthought here.
- 03Practical Detail Works with standard Swingline S.F. 3 Premium Staples (sold separately)
You'll need the right staple refills, but they're readily available and inexpensive. The specificity means compatibility isn't a guessing game.
