Mini Stapler with Staples - Assorted Colours

Product Information

Its no-Jam technology is designed to avoid those familiar frustrating jams you get with more flimsy staplers, and it opens 180 degrees for tacking or crafting use. Easily remove staples once you're ready to discard a project or if you've stapled something by mistake with our selection of staple removers and heavy duty staple removers. You may need tweezers to remove fresh staples from the stapler package if you find it hard to get your fingers in. In this instance, the '26' refers to the gauge of the wire and the '6' refers to the length of the staple shanks in millimetres.

Remove the staples, and reinsert, making adjustments so that the staples are properly aligned with the magazine edges. Staplers come in a huge range of shapes, sizes and weights, which means the best stapler for you will depend on what you want to use it for. Don’t worry, though; the EX-25 Automatic Stapler contains an energy-efficient motor, so you’ll be able to fasten up to 8,000 stacks of paper per set of batteries. Your particular stapler will take Swingline Heavy Duty Staples that are all 1/4in, 5/16in, 3/8in, 1/2in, and 9/16in in length. Aside from the best stapler for upholstery that tackles very thick materials, there are models available for office and home use, too.

If you're only going to use a stapler to fasten a few sheets of paper together, you can get away with a fairly lightweight option, which offers the advantage of being portable so you can easily move it from desk to desk or even carry it around with you.

As well as the full-strip, half-strip, and mini staplers that we’ve mentioned – and everyone’s favorite desktop and hand-held ones – it’s worth mentioning long-arm staplers, suitable for larger documents, project folders, magazines, or scrapbooks. The downside to mini staplers is that you may not be able to staple as many sheets of paper together at once, and you’ll need to refill it much more often. While some compact staplers can only handle a few sheets of paper at a time, this tough cookie can staple at least a couple of dozen. Be careful not to place your finger beneath the staple dispenser as you close it, or you may accidentally injure yourself.The downside is they rely on a power source, so you’ll either need to be in range of an outlet or be prepared to change batteries every so often.
