Side by Side Comparison of: Swingline vs Deco Brothers vs Westcott vs Scotch

Arrived early. Works just like all other Swingline Staplwrs, but in a very convenient size.Definitely needed it if for nothing else than to staple the kiddos papers together that he needs to return to the school.Swinglines are one of the very best names & products in staplers.Staplers are one of those things you definitely need at home all the time IF you don’t have one! We will probably never need it again until we lose it! Lol!!Well on that note - we absolutely DO recommend this stapler!&Hope our review is helpful to you!

It was excellent getting all 3 in one package. I was setting up my new home office and needed everything so I was glad to run across this package deal. All the items are good quality. It's 2 years later and I'm still using everything, including the staples, there's a bunch of them. Go on, staple some stuff :)

Nice kit. The stapler is light weight but staples through bubble envelopes with ease. The staple remover, though not my preferred style (I like the kind that slips under the staple, less paper ripping, so I ordered one separately) worked well and the staples seem lighter weight than ones I've had (the box is lighter than full boxes I already have) but I don't see a difference when using them or removing them. Swingline is a well respected office supply company and I've used their staplers since the 1970s.

These products are absolutely necessary for administrative affairs like assembly and securing of documents, reports and correspondence. I feel there is no need to qualify the Swingline trade mark. It is an internationally known trademark that has proven itself for many years. I have been familiar with this name for over 50 years and thier products are the best in my estimation.

I needed a stapler at my home to keep my bills together in groups. This Swingline fit the bill. It's the same type I have at the office: lightweight, basic and durable. It fits a full strip staples, which was important to me (I don't like those cheap mini staplers). Additionally, I love that it came with the staple remover. I can now save my fingernails by using a proper device to remove them.

One thing to note: This stapler is stationary; it does not open flat, so you can't staple bulletin boards with it. It is strictly for paperwork. So if you don't need it for that purpose, this product is a good value and worth the purchase.

This desk organizer fit my needs perfectly. I don't work from home or anything but we do have a home office which we use to do random computer and printing stuff and our desk doesn't actually have any drawers so it had gotten to the point where we had several different containers holding various items. I'm super happy I picked this one. The price was hard to argue and the size was just right for the desk. Now all the clutter is gone! It fit all our desk supplies what more could a person ask for? Oh, and yes, the little rubber feet prevent sliding quite nicely.

I needed something to keep my keys, scissors, pens, markers, wallet and small tools in since they were all just randomly in a plastic bin on my desk. This fits all of this things perfectly. Keys fit into the drawer, scissors and pens where you expect them and my wallet sits perfectly in the top rear compartment(sticking out but it fine), I have a multi tool and a knife also standing up with space left over. I also throw my badge/ID from work in there and some smaller things like USB drives at times. It feels well made, not cheap and flimsy which was nice to see since it isn't very expensive so I wasn't quite sure what I was getting before it arrived in terms of quality. Very happy with it

I included pictures to help others who are looking for an ideal Organizer. I like this product because it is large and has enough space for my highlighters, pencils, pens, and sharpies for college. This organizer has rubber grips on the end that prevent it from sliding all over your desk. It comes with a drawer that I use for Post-Its. At the moment, I can fit 4 packs of Post-Its in the middle compartment and still have room to fit one or two more packs (just to give you a feel for how big the middle compartment is.) I put my deodorant stick next to it so that you could compare the size (its all I had at the time!) Another great thing is that they give a lifetime warranty for this product. It is suppose to last a lifetime so if it breaks during its use, you could probably contact them to get it fixed or to get another one. I am telling you, this is an honest review. I brought this with my own money to use for college. I hoped that this helped! I kept it short because the photos speak for themselves! Good luck and trust me, this is a GREAT BUY! I will definitely be buying more of DecoBros products for college. Thanks!

I loved this office organizer ! It's not too big and not to small, the perfect size ! It looks exactly as the picture shows. It has two pockets , one for paper clips or thumbtacks on top , and then one for sticky notes. It even fits my scissors and stapler. Definitely recommend !

Just what I was looking for. Holds a good amount but isn't too big. Height is just right. I love the four divisions. I keep my pens and art supplies on one side, makeup brushes and eye pencils on the other. The shallow shelves in the middle are perfect for small desktop items like calligraphy nibs and staplers. The little drawer is handy as well. The rubber grips at the bottom prevent it from sliding around on my cheap Ikea desk. Great little find.

It is surprisingly heavy duty for the price. The pullout compartment makes for a hidden but easily accessible place for the things you don't need too often. I have had this item for only 3 weeks but I don't see any cheapness in the design and it is pretty sturdy. The overall design allows for easy organization for all that you need at your fingertips.

Got them cheap as an add-on item, and they are working great so far. I can't speak to how long they will work like this, but they sure start out well and feel nice in my hand. I have one set in computer room and one set in kitchen, so they are both currently being tested

Quality scissors you can't beat them for the price. If you were in one of those horror move situations where you're being chased because your car won't start so you have to first trip and dramatically fall before running into the creepy abandoned house that has no working phones so you quickly rummage through a drawer that has more spoons and eating utensils than any average homes silverware drawer, you'll feel more comfortable grabbing these than their low-star competitor.

...not sure what else I was supposed to say about scissors, they're great, you get two, hold them the way your mother taught you or else you'll poke your eye out with that thing kid.

Westcott 8" Straight Titanium Bonded Scissors, Grey/Yellow, 2 Per PackI love these sissors. I have several pairs in different sizes. They have lasted me for many years!

They're scissors, and they cut things! Win wIn!
(Really, I'm very happy with the quality of these - they are nice and sharp, and don't feel like cheapy kids' scissors.)

i was surprised how nice for the price! and getting 2 pair was perfect so i can have a pair by my hospital bed and another pair in the other part of the house for everyone else to use.

I wanted a double roll dispenser like I purchased here 4 years ago since there are jobs for which a re-positionable (aka Magic) tape is better. I settled for this model for my computer desk drawer since I use tape more in the kitchen where I keep my larger, heavier Officemate OIC Recycled 2-In-1 Heavy Duty Tape Dispenser, Black (96690) that holds wider tape for sealing packages along with a narrower tape that's good for attaching return labels.I looked for a desk model because of my continuing frustration using two older specialty plastic hand-held dispensers with tape that is obviously lighter in weight today than the "Scotch tape" I grew up using. Lighter weight tape is especially frustrating in the winter when static can grab and fold it back on itself. But what is completely "crazy-making" is to have a length meant to tape down the longer side of an Amazon return label twist instead of tearing off cleanly and leaving me with that twisted length, plus a few more inches, stuck to my hand. For that very reason I do not buy "bargain" tape, so it's doubly disappointing when I end up with tape stuck to my fingers.This dispenser's metal "teeth" keep the tape from twisting and sticking to the wrong target; and its weight is heavy enough to keep it from sliding should I have it on top of my desk instead of down in the drawer with invoices and such. So I feel confident in recommending it. Just be sure to fully press the roll down into the dispenser to keep it from lifting when you begin to tear off tape.

I have many different tape dispensers in my studio for art and craft work for a variety of tapes and adhesives. I try to find dispensers that are sturdy (so they don't wobble when you're ripping off the tape) and yet with clean lines. Love the look and function of this one. It's also a bit more compact than other Scotch dispensers and easy to clean.

I bought this dispenser recently and wasn't sure how much I'd like it. I was pleasantly surprised and it has become my favorite dispenser---I just may buy more to replace my older ones! This has a piece that pulls up and you can put your tape in it, then snap it down. So much better than the older versions I have that have a little circular piece that slides into the hole in the roll of tape, then it slides into the dispenser base. I found that the little circular piece that goes into the roll often dropped and rolled across the floor before I could get it into the tape roll, and I'd have to chase it down. That can't happen with this dispenser---well-thought out construction! This is a great purchase and I highly recommend it to all!

Beautiful,sturdy, inner roll holder attached,so will not get lost. Very good deal,and finally will make it harder for u to misplace the roll of tape. I have probably spent an entire days worth of hours,during the last 52 years, searching for the misplaced tape roll!

Unlike previous tape dispenser, this one does not seem to be filled with sand to weigh it down. This is a positive for me, as my previous one constantly leaked sand. Also, the part that goes in the center of a tape roll is not as easily lost with the design on this one.

I bought this dispenser for my 4 year old, it really encourages him to do so many projects. Now everyone in the familynot only refuse to use tape without this dispenser, we bought a few more for all the places we go. It is very easy to cut with only one hand, and the base is heavy enough for it not to move when cutting.

it stapleshad it for couple years nowjust don't throw it against the wall or expect it compete in crossfitit's just a stapler

I use this one at work, and wanted it for home. excellent stapler, good quality. The only thing it doesn't do is allow you to switch the staple function to bend the prongs out.

This is a great set for a home office. If you do a lot of heavy duty stapling I would purchase a metal stapler not this one, but if you just need it for a home office it is a great fit.

Great stapler for a great price. Why did I wait decades to finally be a grown up and get a real stapler? I've been living of the tiny school bag sized ones since college (with the blue staplers). Happy I finally got an office "staple."

It staples. It's a little bit lighter then my office stapler...I don't know if that's a feature out a sign of cheapness. I bought this for my home cooling system. I need a stapler about once every other month and probably about 30 times during tax season. So seeing how it comes with 5000 staples and I estimate I'll be using 36 a year I expect this should last me 138 years.

It works just fine, I think it is a better stapler than the other ones we have. It stapled my papers without a hesitation or slip. Hope no one here finds out about it or I won't see it again. The only thing better would be an expensive electric one used in offices.

This organization caddy is very sturdy and holds lots of items. As you can see in the photo, I have markers, pencils, (lots of) pens, scissors, a hole puncher, a stapler remover, a glue dot roller, colored pencils, and expo markers all in the top part with a multi-use container in the drawer. While the drawer is removable, it's difficult to get anything out of it unless you decided to place something like sticky notes in it. As for the top removable piece, it doesn't do much to remove it. The metal wire, while sturdy, are able to be bent which could be an issue. Regardless, this organizer is very helpful and great if you need a compact unit to hold your items.

received this in quickly through shipping. it's pretty sturdy.. fairly roomy.. but minimal shipping packaging.. mine was dented in on one corner part of the mesh. It's not real visible so eh, not going to fuss over it. It's great for the price, I hold my pens and crochet hooks and scissors and post it's in it. I gave four stars for minimal packaging which is what likely caused the damage to the product.

Exactly what I needed, fits everything I had scattered on my work desk in multiple random holders and containers plus arrived ahead of schedule. I'll buy a second one for the home office. Only minor inconvenience (which is why not 5 stars) is that the post it drawer is pretty deep so unless you keep several stacked you have to "fish" a bit to get one out when you need it but as long as you keep the pile high it's perfectly fine.

I've been looking for a holder for all my remotes and my glasses but they were mostly more costly than what I was willing to pay for something so simple! Found this and it works PERFECTLY for that purpose! I can fit one remote in 3 of the spaces and the fourth hold my 2 pair of glasses. Each space is plenty big enough for larger remotes and I can even fit 2 of my small remotes in one if I wanted too. It also has a nice little ledge for the small items that tend to hang out around my end table, nail polish, toothpick holder, bottle of aspirin and that sort of thing. It also has good rubber feet on the bottom so it doesn't slide all over the place, an added bonus! I took off one star only because the little drawer that slides out of the center/bottom is made of plastic, as well as the removable divider that fits into one of the top/center sections. It's not that big of a deal, but would have been a bit nicer if they were metal like the rest, but they're well enough made that it's not a deal breaker.

Of all of the other steel mesh desk supplies organizers that I have seen, this one appears to be the most well thought out AND is certainly the one that is most carefully constructed. There is nothing that is misaligned, rough, or likely to draw blood as you rummage around for a particular pen or that one special paper clip you've been saving for a special event. The grey-painted model has a pleasant toned-down look----a welcome break from the foreboding and monotonous black which so many people gravitate towards.My only complaint is that all four of the main storage compartments are exactly the same size. When organizing anything, one looks for different sized holders for all your different sized things. I solved this "problem" by adding two lengths of one-inch PVC pipe----cut into a 4" piece and a 5" piece. Both of them fit into one of the pencil holders and they make a wonderful place to store large office scissors and a magnifying glass so they don't flop around---especially if you place a magic marker or two around the PVC pipes to make them stable. Pack a small wad of cloth in the bottom of the PVC tube to protect the tip of the scissors.Other customization to follow... AFTER I complete the computer-driven "Find-a-Pen" automated retrieval system. ;)

This is great at organizer and holds a lot in as little space as needed. I use to have a lot of pencils cups but I got rid of them all and just used this to organize pencils, pens and highlighters (since it has so many tall sections). And the drawer is very deep so it can hold a lot as well. I took some pictures of mine with things in it.

Good value, does the job and all I need to get the job done. I do wish they were a little more pointed at the of the scissors, but would buy again!

Good addition to a household. Durable scissors that do what they're supposed to do.

Works well, a little stiff so I deducted a star. I'd imagine if I had a big project my hand would wear out. I'll try some WD-40. Cuts well.

Just got them, minimal use so far, but seem well built and solid.

Loved these-even used them to trim grass around garden! Still sharp too!

This is a very good value for the money. It is weighted, has a skid-resistant bottom, with two skid-resistant pads glued to the bottom, cuts tape pretty easily, and has room to hold a 1,500 inch roll of Scotch tape (according to the manufacturer. I've been using 1,000 inch rolls), either 1/2" or 3/4" wide.When I use one hand to tear off the tape, the back of the dispenser does lift off the desk a bit, however, about 1/2 inch or so, but I can still tear the tape using one hand only with the other hand free. The skid resistant pads on the bottom do prevent the dispenser from sliding horizontally.Given above, this dispenser could benefit from being weighted a bit more heavily, but this tape dispenser offers good value for the money given how inexpensive it is, and the fact that the rear of the dispenser sometimes lifts off the desk a bit when I use one hand doesn't bother me that much, given what I paid.For the price, this dispenser meets my needs and offers good value.Before buying this from Amazon, I went to a brick and mortar big box store to take a look at the tape dispensers they had in stock in this price range. Of these dispensers, this was the heaviest and appeared to have the best cutter.One advantage of buying your own tape dispenser is that you can save a lot on the Scotch tape itself. For about $10.00 on Amazon, I was able to buy 6 rolls of tape, each roll being 1,000 inches, or a total of 6,000 inches of tape - far less than buying the same amount of tape that come with the cheap, throwaway dispensers.A nice feature is that the center core that you place a new roll of tape over is built into the dispenser via a hinged mechanism. You will never lose this part by throwing away a used roll of tape with the core still attached.Additional and revised comments:After buying this, I noticed that on Amazon, there is a model C-40 tape dispenser that is listed at 1.6 pounds as opposed to the .99 pounds of the C-60. However, the C-40 costs almost twice as much. If the weight listed on Amazon for the C-40 model is correct, I probably would have bought that model instead, but if you don’t want to pay twice the price, this dispenser will meet the needs of most users.https://www.amazon.com/Scotch-Deluxe-Desktop-Dispenser-C-40/dp/B00006IF6W/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1495468879&sr=8-1&keywords=tape+dispenser+c-40

Looking for a stylish tape dispenser for my desk. This one fit the bill. Looks great.The only issue I have with it is that it is a little bit too light and moves when pulling longer pieces of tape off the despenser. Otherwise, good purchase.

Just received my Scotch C60-ST Tape Dispenser and so far like it, does not come tape. It is two tone: top curvy part is silver and the base is black.Looks quite decent and basic so goes with any office or home setting. Heavy duty with pads under base so it would slide all over the desk when pulling tape and had some weight to it (could also be used as a paper weight if wanted to). Blade are sharp enough to tear tape, box says should last for years(we will see). So far there is nothing I do not like about this product.

This is a good tape dispenser. It isn't as heavy as I had hoped for, but it's heavy enough that it doesn't lift from the surface when you're dispensing tape. The teeth are sharp (I was worried about this after reading a previous review). There are no issues with the teeth not being sharp enough to cut through the tape. Overall, I am pleased with this purchase. Serves its purpose at a reasonable cost.

Out of the box the dispenser has a sleek, pleasing shape and a satin silver-tone top for a sexy and curvy look on my desk. Loading tape is easy with a locking spool mechanism that certainly securely holds the tape roll in place during use. It is lightly weighted and has a grippy bottom to help keep it on my desk while cutting. Tape cut fairly easily. For under 10 bucks it’s now on my desk and I didn’t even have to go out!

Overall it does what it's supposed to do. As someone mentioned, it is light so if I am not careful ripping the tape, the dispensar moves and sometimes I accidentally run my diver or hand over the blade as I do this. The blade hasnt cut skin yet but this is scary at the moment it's happening.

The unit is lighter than expected, but works well.

Good enough for small stapling tasks. Plastic is very light weight and not heavy duty but, that's to be expected for a $6 kit. Does what I need it to do and i will probably buy another for light office use. If you have large amounts to staple this is not for you.

Swingline is a good brand. But this one, I was a bit disappointed.

very light weight but does the job.

It's just a piece of plastic. I have the same brand stapler just smaller that I bought 20 years ago and it is heavier and made of metal.

Good deal, feels a bit on the cheap side though, works well.

Does the job but is poorly constructed. Arrived with dents, misaligned structure, and loose parts. The sections for the removable parts were not put together correctly. The drawer constantly falls out at the slightest movement (I'll be moving this organizer from under my desk to on top of my desk throughout the day). The two-section piece only fits on one side (until I forcibly bent the metal structure). Many of the metal pieces clearly don't line up and aren't joined at the correct angles. But, as a mostly-out-of-sight organizer for work, it does fine. I mean it holds office supplies. Can't ask for much more at the price.

In general it is working out for me, but there is a major flaw in the design. The tray on the top should be sized for business cards, but business cards just don't fit in the space. It could also be a bit taller so that the pens etc don't flop around as much. Overall, it works for me reasonably well.

Great if you have tons of writing instruments like I do. The only thing I don't like is the seam where the mesh meets the frame; it's really sharp!

Well made but not practical. For instance, there's not a compartment wide enough to stand a small notepad or envelops at the back. There's a narrow drawer in middle but again it's too narrow. All compartments are the same size so no versatility. I imagined a product that could hold bills and a checkbook and tape and maybe a small bottle of white glue but this isn't what I needed.p

It was definitely smaller then I expected. The little drawer only fits regular post-its and nothing bigger or differently shapped. It is sturdy and convient to separte my writing devices for easy access. I just wish it was on a bigger scale than it would be 5 stars!

Good organizer, although the photo is deceiving. I thought it would be a lot larger than it really is. Still works very well and will be very useful this year.

These are good but they still get dull and are not easy to sharpen. I use them to trim grass around my trees.

great light duty scissors. plastic finger holds ar a bit weak but over all please. a larger fingers pair for men with large hands would be appreciated by many. the holes in most of these are a bit dainty.

One of the scissors have a nick on the blade. It's not worth my time returning it.

They're okay, they cut decent.

nothing special

Doesn't seem to cut the tape well!

Tape doesn't cut easily, like other reviewer's have stated.

The dispenser in and of its self is great, but it could of at least come with one roll of Scotch tape 😵.

The dispenser doesn't even come with a roll of tape

I should have read the description closer. No tape included and I don't have a lot of confidence in the strength of the plastic that is attached to the base that holds the tape.

I am only giving this item three stars because it came with some scuffs in the paint and a minor scratch or two. The item ships in a thin cardboard box which sits inside a regular box. It looks like the box that it comes in rubbed off some of the paint (and not worth returning). I'm not sure if this happened during shipment (FedEx), or if it is a factory defect or what. I'm just stating my experience. Nothing was horribly wrong with it but it is enough to bother me, especially because this item is supposed to be new.

Only came with the stapler. The remover and staples were not included in the package.

Item broke after 1 month of use

Came with only stapler. Not staples and remover like advertised

I thought it was going to be heavier and was disappointed that it was plastic.

This a cheap, flimsy stapler that will not hold up to regular use. For the same price at Costco you can get a similar package except it contains the original,well made version of the stapler.

Cheap

The mesh on one of my cup holders came bent and out of shape

too small,not what I expected. I was looking for something much larger!!! maybe next time I'll read the measurement before buying...

Disappointed. I should have read the specs better, because the note tray only holds 2.5 by 3 inch cards, but most cards are 3x3

It's not that big and the removable pieces are plastic

It is more grey than sliver. I do not like the color.

This caddy was infintestimally smaller than i imagined it would be.the photo is decieving. Any smaller regular,square sized post it pad will not fit in it. So obviously nothing bigger.more for a small childs desk than an adult,office one.if it wasnt for the craziness of the season,i would of sent it back.

I thought these scissors would cut through heavy plastic and they did not!

I like to have scissors in a kitchen drawer, in my desk drawer, in my nightstand, in the bathroom, in the garage, in my storage shed, in my Winnebago -- well, you get the idea. These seemed like the perfect solution -- good scissors at a low price. Well, it's been three months and they work just fine, but I discovered the other day that the plastic covering the handle behind the hinge on the pair in the kitchen draw is broken. I don't know how it happened, but I don't recall trying to cut anything other than the plastic bags that my prescriptions come and similar materials. No cardboard or rugs or sheet metal -- nothing other than lightweight materials that you'd expect to cut with any ordinary pair of scissors. I tried to return them, but the Amazon website says that they're no longer eligible for return. I'll try something else next time.

Updated, 3/12/17: My wife tried to trim some threads on the edge of an old dish towel this morning and the second pair of scissors broke into two pieces when the plastic holding the pivot screw snapped. As you can see from the picture, the plastic holding the blade is also cracked. I guess the titanium blades would still make pretty good ice pics, but when was the last you needed a pair of ice pics?

After a few days of use, the outer coating on the scissor handles started peeling. Would not recommend. Cuts fine for the most part.

About the second time I used one the two pair, they began to jam up - would not close all the way. I tried a few ways to correct the issue ( there is only one screw), couldn't, so just threw them away. The other pair is fine.

Some years ago I bought a pack of two Westcott Titanium scissors from the local Staples store for something like $25. It was expensive but they worked really well. Recently I needed to buy some more and saw this seemingly same product offered on Amazon for less than half of the price. I was thrilled at first but soon realized the reason after receiving the product - it has been turned into a cheap product, much different from the original. The molded handle is made of cheap plastic, much worse in look and feel than the original. One out of the two pair of scissors had a nick in one of the blades. There is no cover for the screw. Overall the "new design" looks and feels cheap. I suppose this is what we get when we keep pushing the manufacturer to come up with lower and lower price stuff - the quality suffers.

This tape dispenser is very hard to use, I have to use a lot of force to cut the piece of tape, unless I pick it up with both hands, angle it down-wards and then the tape tears better. The drawback of this method though, is sand will come spilling out. When I first opened my package, there was sand stuck in the crevices of this tape dispenser. NO WHERE did I read it had sand in it. I will end up donating it and trying to find another that is not filled with sand...until then, it's better than no dispenser. Wish I had bought a different one!

Design is flawed, when you pull the tape the "whole roll" lifts up. Makes it not very sturdy, and hard to use. It is a nice idea though! The part that holds the tape needs to "click" in place or something.

Why do they have to change things. 1) the item is to light and slides when you pull the tape. 2) the tape is held in this flop up thing that flops up when you pull the tape. Tape holder were just fine when they were heavy and simply had a slot with a roller to hold the tape. It works, that is about all I can say about it.

To light and it falls over when pulling tape out Not happy

I was looking for a dispenser that wouldn't move and lift when one tried to dispense and cut scotch tape...this is not the one! It looks good and functions, just not heavy enough.

Rarely do I give any products 1 or 2 stars unless they have completely failed.Well, after one year, this tape dispenser is going into the trash. Dispensing tape should be fairly simple, right? This unit is too light, you can not tear off a 1" or 2" strip of tape without lifting the dispenser off of the table. (I only use 3/4" Scotch brand magic tape, FWIW). So having had to fight this unit with both hands any time I wanted a small strip of tape, now it has gotten worse. The chrome serrated strip has such a thin and crummy finish it has totally corroded (turned black). The serrated strip has to tear the tape, but also needs to hold the end of the tape for the next time. The black corroded serrated strip now lets go of the tape within seconds of tearing off the previous strip, and I'm fishing for the end of the tape down inside the dispenser. Only two things this thing needs to do and it can't do either one. Looked nice when it was new but functionally it is lame.

I wish I could write a good review but it broke after only a few uses. I mean like maybe used 20 times and then it was jam after jam after jam. I threw it away. Price is low enough to not ask for a refund but still, I just wanted a stapler that works and this one did not get the job done. It's very light and cheap feeling and it did not work very well at all.

This stapler permanently jammed in its first week of use.. Upon finishing the very first set of staples, the pusher somehow impacted the hammer, bending it out of shape and not allowing the stapler to staple any more. This was in a home office setting, so the stapler did not have to deal with any abuse or heavy volume. The construction of the stapler feels very light and cheap, probably why this happened in the first place. A shame, because I used to think of Swingline as a quality brand name.

Total junk!! Broken right out of the package.

Jammed and then broke first time used with 10 pages. Might be good for 3-4 pages.

Didn't wok from the first time I tried. Staples keep getting stuck in stapler

This stapler broke after a few uses. I was very disappointed. I will not be repurchasing. I have already bought another stapler that is far more superior and has worked flawlessly. I do not recommend this product.

Great for organization pens, post-its, etc. within easy reach, better than the one I had before.

Disappointed. Arrived with major dents.

It arrived dented and misshapen (although the shipping box was completely intact). It was defective from the outset. I returned it and did not re-order.

I didn't get the whole thing ,just the part for small things and a draw. I was disappointed I thought I ordered everything that the above picture shows. I guess I misunderstood.

Mine came bent in multiple places. It also wobbles on my desk. Kinda disappointed but whatever I guess.

Too small for what i need

I bought these to last me for years, but 1 broke after 3 months. The screw was held by epoxy. Why would a company make long lasting blades and do a very cheap pivot Screw? Do not waste your money on Westcott scissors!

broke when opening a box...........don't buy.

Very poor quality feel of the plastic and few scratches on them...looks like poor quality overall..surprised whey others have given such high rating

There are very big

If you are a left-handed person you know how hard it is to find good comfortable left-handed pair of scissors that work properly. Well, I was hopeful about these, what could go wrong with titanium blades right? Well, as I quickly found out, a lot. So I take scissors out of the package, and proceeded to cut the package of the other item on my order. It was a simple plastic package, and without offering any resistance one of the blades simply came of, broken in two pieces. A piece of the plastic encasing of the handle also chipped and broke. So I am returning these and back to square ZERO, trying to find a pair that works.
This pair had potencial, the yellow grip inside was comfortable. Pair was light weight. But it needed to perform this very basic, mundane task, which is cut plastic packages. It failed miserably. :-(

Don't waist your time with this POS. I ordered one to replace one I've had for a very long time. This unit did not have enough padding across the bottom to hold it in place when dispensing Scotch Brand tape. Because of the smaller footprint and padding on the bottom that does not cover the entire bottom of the dispenser, the dispenser wobbles when you touch it...then slides as you pull the tape. Very frustrating...and it was an "Amazon Choice"????

Worst tape holder I have ever used.

When you pull the tape it pulls up in the back and it is difficult to get the correct angle to cut the tape. It is not sharp enough. It has been frustrating. I am looking for a new one right after I post this review.

Before I took this tape dispenser out of its box that it came in, it was leaking a fine sand. At first I thought it may just be some dust or manufacturing residuals. However, once I removed the dispenser from the box, it sat in a loosely wrapped plastic bag, filled with fine sand. I had to proceed to dump out all of the sand that is used to give the product weight for tearing tape. Long story short, poorly designed and manufactured, may just be a fluke but, definitely dissatisfied, spend your money on another tape dispenser.

Way too light. Better off buying the little throw away dispenser rolls. Either way you need both hands to use them and at least the little ones aren't too bulky to hold.

Too light. Keeps on skidding across the desk. Need two hands for operation. I would recommend this one instead:http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00006IF6W/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
