The Matador is truely a stapler which lives up to its name. With its stylish blue and black casing and smooth curves, it is undeniably elegant. But don't be fooled by its appearance, underneath the Matador is a tough, hardy stapler and much more reliable than many of its flimsier rivals. It can handle up to 25 sheets without any problem and takes both 26/6 and 24/6 staples. I've had mine for over a year, and so far haven't had any problems with it - the only problem is that it doesn't refill itself!!!
