Well, just bought...

Yup. Finally went out and bought a new model. Thought i'd post it here for you all. I must say, it's REALLY nice to finally have been able to get a newer model. I ended up going for a little bit nicer model than I had thought. The color on her's awesome - black with chrome accents. Had some problems with the older one, so I figured it was time for an upgrade.

I can just feel how strong it is when i put my hands on 'er. So smooth and sleek - I can't believe I waited this long to get 'er. I ended up paying for it outright cash... no x-plan pin or incentives for me. Here's a pic I just took, with 'er all washed up and clean. Hope you guys like!

























Yup! Brand new swingline! Sorry... just had to post this I really did buy a new one, and am impressed with the quality Happy St. Patty's Day all!!!!

Well, if you're serious, that is a really good quality stapler. We have that model at work and I have the base model without the stainless accents.

We have an old school model here, it is probably older than me but works flawlessly.

Don't modify it...might void the warranty.

Congrats on the new stapler. I have one just like it but silver, black is too difficult to keep clean. Did you get the extended warranty?
