Does this stapler open at all and if so how

You can pull it back to open it to load staples, but as far as I can tell you can't open it to staple something on a wall. I could be wrong but I just played with it and couldn't find a setting to open it so I could staple paper to a wall.

The short answer is YES. it opens like almost any other stapler...the difference being no latch to release. Just lift the head and you will see the tray to put the staples in. Note that a full stick of staples works best. loading with bits and pieces is likely to cause a jam.

Yes. You just pull it open -- no trigger or button to push. Grab the base in one hand and pull the stapling unit up with the other. It'll open. Then y ou can staple things to a bulletin board or other flat surface. When you close it, you will hear and feel it snap into place. If by "open" you mean to add more staples, you simply grab the stapling unit and just pull the top open. Again, no buttons or catches to undo. I bought it for those very reasons and it's real simple.

I think you need an adapter to make it work but couldn't find any information on your particular stapler sorry.

none! That's the beauty! It cuts and folds the paper in a very clever way, meaning you don't need staples at all!

Yes, this stapler does take standard staples. Approximately 1/2 a stick of staples fits each time.

I finally got to my office to check this out. The stapler opens only to 80 degrees. Sorry for the delay

To open, you press on a lever like part of the blade. Basically top center of assembly in picture of it when open. Its mild pressure and almost an assisted open. Much easier than thumb opening. I have used mine daily for quite a while and works flawlessly.

There are diagrams on the yellow sticker on the stapler. you flip it back like you would if you were to staple something on the wall and then slide the tray out. Staples go in upside down and then you slide it back in.

Yes it does open up -- but you may have a hard time keeping the staples in place when holding the stapeler vertically.

NOTE: I was puzzled by this same question, trying to use this B8E electric stapler at my school. The stapler was jammed with STANDARD staples so that when the big top button was pushed, nothing moved. Had to unscrew and remove the overall cover to see what was happening, pull the slide out and remove the staples. Standard staples are too wide, but close enough that someone unfamiliar may not notice. Stuck a big note on the stapler to tell others "USE ONLY B8 STAPLES." This problem may mystify those who do not have jammed staplers, since the staple magazine pops out when the button is pushed - unless jammed with Standard staples.

Holding the stapler with opening to the right, lift black handle and fold backward. At the right end of the mechanism is a black plastic end cap. Pull the black cap out to the right (horizontally) and place staples in the empty carriage at the left.

Can you expand on your question? If you mean you want the staples to close like a office stapler does, you won't get those results with any staple gun I know of. The reason an office stapler gives you closed staples is because of the metal plate on the opposite side of the stapler folds the staples under pressure. Let me know if this helps answer your question or not.

Yes it does. I love this stapler. I don't use it much but a co workers has had hers for years and loves it too

Its easy. Just press the black button on the top of the stapler and the drawer pops out. It is at the back of the top

To load the stapler, you will need to push the endcap at the back and it will loosen from the spring loaded maganism. Pull it out and load the staples.

No, this stapler does not come with staples. At least I didn't receive any when I purchased it in mid 2012. It works great for sealing cardboard edges for album mailers. It takes a gentle motion. Too hard and your staple will break through the top of he cardboard. Use it right and it's perfect. Never jams either.

When I opened mine, the staple slide opened for reloading. After closing that, it I tried to staple and it worked it the open position. Hope this helps.

Yes it does and they are standard. This is a great stapler and will hold a large group of papers.
