I need to buy a new stapler. It's obviously going to be a Rexel, but the question is do I go for the silky ergonomics of the Meteor or the raw stapling power of the Matador II? Does anyone have any experience of either of these two models?

Would you describe it as a clean puncture? Did the staples bend equally? How was the general feel and handling? Was there any blockage in the exit slot?

We use the Rexel 'meteor' at our place if that helps!

More info please Ellis. How often does a staple get jammed and have to be removed with pliers. What's the exit velocity? What sort of range can be acheived by firing the stapler in the 'open' position? Is there any sign of the rubber foot perishing?

Don't you have someone to do your stapling for you? Let them concern themselves with such trivialities as to which model to go for.

Trivialities, Ant? I hardly think so. This is important stuff.

Trivial for you, important for the minions. There is a difference.
