Stapler is not overly large and can also be putting away well. It need not be applied much pressure to stitch together larger paper stack. Since I already have the right type of large holes, the set looks beautiful also on your desk or shelf. I did not even have roundups plow 60 leaves, so this can not judge. The 30 pages that I had to tack, but went quite easily. Only the removal is somewhat fiddly. Since I have not yet found the right "staple remover" it.
