Arrow 202IP-EK 1/4-Inch Length Standard Staples, Multipack Galvanized Steel Office Supplies for Desk Staplers for Business, Classroom Supplies, Home Office, and Craft Use, 2-Pack, 10000 Per Pack

The price is good. They work like staples should.

Review of Arrow 202IP 1/4-Inch Length Standard Staples, Galvanized Steel Office Supplies for Desk Staplers for Business, Classroom Supplies, Home Office, and Craft Use, 10000-Pack (1-Pack)10,000 is a lot of staples.All discussion of size on the box and in the product description are related to the length of the leg (the part that goes through the paper) and is ¼ inch (6 mm). Width is not on the box but in the product description on Amazon it is listed as 0.5 inches (12.7 mm).These fit in my standard size (for U.S. anyway) Fellows stapler.The number of sheets of paper that can be stapled will vary based upon the thickness or weight of the paper but is listed as 25 pages of 20-lb paper.

10,000 staples is a lot - and probably will last you a long while. These are well made staples, they match up with all of my staplers around the house (a couple of newer Bostich, a 30-year old Swingline). The stacks are just a little bit longer than what Swingline and Bostitch offer (as you can see in the pics - the top / left one is Arrow, middle one is the old "Made in U.S.A." Swingline, and Stanley/Bostitch on the bottom / right). The length is hardly an issue, just a matter of reloading smaller left-over chunks.

The Arrow standard staples strips are extremely sturdy. The brand I usually buy split in the middle when I take them out of the box and, as a result, I never insert a full strip into the stapler. This package came with the box opened and all of the strips were out of the box in the package, yet not one strip was broken apart, as shown in the first photo. The other notable feature is that the strips are a bit longer than my original brand (a comparison is shown in the second photo) and fit perfectly into the full-size Swingline stapler. A half strip fits into my mini Swingline. The package says that they have a 25 sheet capacity, which I have not tried yet, but I did staple 11 sheets and they completely secured that packet. These are quality staples.

What can I say. These staples staple well and work in my stapler. The box came and was partially open with staples all over the place but no big deal. They are staples you can't hurt them easily.

Product arrived packaged safely and well. When I removed it, I was surprised by how heavy it was, then realized just how many staples I actually received. It was satisfying to know that it will be quite a while before I next find myself needing to staple something, trying one stapler after another, damaging the corner of the pages, then digging everywhere without finding a way to solve the problem. (As you can guess, I hate that.) This will last me quite a while before needing to deal with that annoyance again!

Since I am retired and no longer have access to "free" office supplies, I was in need of staples. This product was a great choice. The staples are strong and there are plenty of them in the package for a great price. I also noticed that this brand also has offerings for multiple boxes. One to keep, one to share!!

I have four standard-size staplers, and these staples were too wide for all of them by just a tiny bit. What a disappointment! They look and feel quality, but I can't use them.
