This hand stapler is pretty much the standard in this tool class, made of steel and handles the abuse.  I haven't had much problems with jams.  Loading staples may take some getting used to if you've not used it before, but it is not rocket science.  As this is a hand stapler, I would definitely use this for small jobs or quick needs.  If I were doing anything substantial, I would use a more powerful tool like an air stapler.  But this is cheap and definitely gets the job done and fills a critical place in the toolbox.
