I brought this right before I moved into my dorm to have as a cute accessory on my desk. Little did I know that I would be using it so frequently. Almost all of my study notes and handouts were stapled with this and I got a lot of compliments from my friends! Cons: It takes a little practice to figure out how it works, and it only staples up to about 3 pages at a time. The hole it leaves is also kind of big, so unless you ask, I wouldn't use it on assignments to be handed in.
