Design not ideal but hobsons choice
They seems to come in different lenghts, so pleased the product received was dimensions as stated.Easy to use and thumb shield gives some cushioning so not too clunky.
I cannot find staples for old stapler I have that has better design.
Had release at back for staple tray to spring forward, like a drawer coming out in a cilised manner, rather than the traditional way of opening the jaws and potentially stapling your thumb when closing - as I did when young, decades ago.
Would have hoped the decades old design would be replaced by the drawer" mechanism, which is easier and safer. I don't have children and couldn't find a current version of my preferred stapler so went with it.
I am disappointed staple designers don't design, or improve design/functionality, but stick with designs over 60 years old - probably longer.
