In addition to the other reviews here, I can report that I use this plier (identical version, but still under the original brand GEM) for 40 (forty!) Years almost every day and that it is still working like the first day. I had never blockages or other problems with it. That's a quality that you would expect in most Manufaktum catalog today. In this respect, I also had no reason here to buy on Amazon or anywhere else a new stapler. If you do not yet have this untimely durable pliers, you should buy it, as long as it still exists. And just a supply of staples to.
