Rapid 23 stapler is jamming. I use it one day, then it stops, I have to wait till the next day to use it again for few staples then it stops again. Any advice?

I don't use it a lot. I use it once every few years. I am not sure if the staples are the problem coz they have been sitting in my drawer for ages, or the stapler itself which has been sitting as well in my drawer for ages. Nearly 30 years.

SOURCE: AS 300 electric stapler--pulled out

What has most likely happened is part of a staple is stuck in the front portion of the stapler where it forms the staple and presses it into the stapler.
You would most likely have to remove the stapler, and remove the binding staple from the stapler head.

SOURCE: Stapler works intermittantly

If not the power source or cord, the next activation point would be the trigger. Does the stapler make any sort of noise when the trigger is depressed? What type and model stapler is it?

SOURCE: stapler constantly shoots out staples even when there is nothing to staple.

There is a contact switch / lever on the staplers that engages the stapler when it is pressed. It must be stuck. locate the lever and see if that's the case, and release it if you can. just my 2 cents, because I'm a copier/fax tech -not a stapler expert :)

SOURCE: t50 stapler gun it worked for about 15

The spring in the magazine is not stiff enough to feed the staples as fast as the spring pushes the driver forward. This is a design flaw and the ONLY thing that has worked for me so far is to put 1 & 1/3 sticks of staples into the gun. This puts more pressure on the spring in the magazine and forces the column to feed faster. It's only good for about 10 - 15 shots, but it's better than nothing. I am currently seeking a more rigid spring that will fit around the rod to fix this problem. Will post as soon as I have a more permanent solution.

What size staples do I need for the Rapid Isaberg 16 stapler [prob 40/50 years old but still works superbly]

The Rapid Isaberg 16 stapler uses 26/6 size staples. These staples are also commonly referred to as "standard staples" and are widely available at most office supply stores or online retailers. They measure approximately 6mm wide and 11mm in length, and are compatible with a wide range of staplers, including the Rapid Isaberg 16. Be sure to use high-quality staples to ensure that your stapler functions properly and staples securely.

Battery is fully charged. Light turns on but it won't shoot staples

If your battery is fully charged but your stapler is not shooting staples, there are a few potential causes for this problem:
  • The stapler's mechanism may be jammed or stuck. Check the stapler's mechanism and clear any jams or debris that may be preventing it from functioning properly.
  • The stapler's spring may be damaged or weakened. If the spring is not providing enough force to push the staples through, the stapler may not be able to shoot staples effectively.
  • The stapler's nosepiece may be damaged or misaligned. Check the nosepiece and make sure it is not bent or out of position, as this can prevent the stapler from shooting staples correctly.
  • The stapler's battery or other internal components may be faulty. If the problem persists, you may need to have the stapler serviced by a qualified technician.
If you are unsure how to check for and address these potential causes, you may want to consult the user manual for your stapler or contact the manufacturer for assistance.

Blue light on top of staple does not come on and the stapler does not work. Bostitch electric stapler model 02210

Hi,

you might have a stapler jam. Please unplug your stapler and use a screw driver to clear out any staples in the stapling area. Then, you can pull out the stapler drawer and remove any jammed or stuck staplers.

If this fails, please call Bostitch at 1 (800) 556-6696 if you don't have a manual to use to attempt next troubleshooting steps. Thank you.

Staples will not come out of the stapler.

Did you use Optima brand staples? If not, the stapler will not work correctly. You must use their brand of staples or it will continue jamming, and giving you problems. The staples typically found right next to the Optima staplers in the office supply stores. They come in a rectangular metal box and are labeled Optima staples.

Handle stuck in locked position

One of the screws - furthest away from where the staples exit - has a nut on it... Remove the nut, then - using pliers - back out the screw. When I did this, the spring returned, a bent staple fell out and once re-assembled I could use the stapler again (for a few turns). It seems like the stapler is VERY sensitive to bounce during the stapling, you must hold it very tight (and flat) to the material so that the staple doesn't jam inside the stapler. Lousy product.

My Swingline model 520e jams every other time I staple.

There were a few staples left in the cartridge when the stapler stopped working. I went thru all the steps on bottom for stapler after changing the cartridge with two different cartridges. It makes the noise and puts marks in the paper, but no staples come out of it.
