Best desk staplers according to redditors

I found this on Amazon:


Kokuyo Harinacs Press Staple-free Stapler; With this Item, You Can Staple Pieces of Paper Without Making Any Holes on Paper. [Pink]［Japan Import］ (Green) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00O9N1BEI/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_.rhyDb1WCVW3B

Plus PAPER CLINCH Compact Green Heavy Duty, Light, Staple Free Stapler (31251) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00KYP2OYQ/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_BftIDb64N124T

That uses a different method, but if you look for Japanese staplers on Amazon you should find a few.

You should have left a shitty mini stapler like this on her printer. While these pieces of shit do technically staple they aren't very ergonomic and stapling more than two things makes your hands hurt.

Not in the class so I’m not entirely sure if this is exactly what you’re talking about, but here’s a staple-free stapler . Other staple-free staplers are available.

My mom used to use a staple free stapler

Coin Flip Assortment on Amazon, can also search for specific sizes by just searching Mylar 2x2. Should also get a Flat Clinch Stapler I bought the linked one and love it for stapling flips.

I used one of these last week for the first time, grew to like it. But it started jamming a bit when it was low on staples, not sure if user error though.

The original review

This is the exact one I have.

A saddle stitch book is the most basic type of bind. You basically grab a stack of papers, fold it in half (a bone folder helps with this step) and staple.

A long reach stapler is great for this type of bind because if you're making a wide book you don't have to crease and bend your notebook to get to the center.

You can also use thread to bind the book together and for that you'll need an awl. (see diagram) A punching cradle makes this method easier.

Bonus: If you want to make the edges even and professional looking you can chop it in a book guillotine. The drawback to this is that your book won't be a standard size because you'll be shaving fractions of a inch off.

Have you thought about just doing it zine/booklet-style? Printer-paper size folded in half and held together by staples? You could do it yourself for just the cost of the prints and a special stapler.

click here - this is the stapler

Amazon has long reach staplers, I bought one last week for 5.99

The one on the left is a staple from a flat clinch stapler. It staples flatter. I use one of these.

pretty sure they need this 5000 dollar stapler: http://www.amazon.com/Office-Impressions-Economy-Strip-Stapler/dp/B0087HVTYY/ref=pd_sim_sbs_hi_4?ie=UTF8&refRID=1RAHATPA3AZXW7NJYFHX

Binder: any office supply store.

Fine point sharpie: ditto

Cardstock to cut into 2x2 blanks/spacers: ditto

Binder sheets: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002KDNAU2

2x2s (for example): https://www.amazon.com/Cardboard-Holders-Collectors-Assorted-Counting/dp/B06XK7G362/

Flat-clinch stapler: https://www.amazon.com/Max-Flat-Clinch-Standard-Capacity-HD-50DFBK/dp/B0006HX54U

I'm late, but I've started keeping a small stapler in my backpack for projects etc that have to be turned in as a physical copy incase I forgot to staple it at home. The one I linked comes with like 1000 staples, and holds a couple stacks in the bottom

Not OP but this is the set without any extras at a bargain $10. This is the set with other bits and pieces $14 so worth it if you need any of the other bits.

If you're UK, this is the bare set for a paltry £3.09 - how unusual to find something cheaper in the UK than in the USA!

For those saying that they prefer the notebooks, get one of these for $10 and make your own: http://www.amazon.com/Sparco-Stapler-Capacity-Standard-SPR01316/dp/B001B0GWKU/ref=sr_1_5?s=office-products&ie=UTF8&qid=1395679089&sr=1-5

Does this stapler qualify?

Just know that Best Buy may have better prices at times.

You wouldn't show them this ad to price match of course

(Not one here but similar)
It's more or less a crimper as staplers technically make holes.

They are neat

I have a swingline 747 but I never use it. This stapler is much nicer to use: http://www.amazon.com/PaperPro-Prodigy-Stapler-Black-Silver/dp/B000GGY9LY/

Nice piece of writing there. You made me smile on a bad day, thanks.

However, you're looking at the wrong staplers. I have this, and its little brother. 100 sheets capacity and 25 sheet capacity respectively. They work differently than most. As you push down on the handle they store energy in a spring. When you've got it down all the way, it fires the staple through the stack of papers. 100 sheets is easy.

Make it yourself!

for holding it all together

I got this set for myself and it is pretty nice for a beginner. I really like having a good case and all that extra stuff fit in it really well.

I just went on a hunt for this kind of thing to start my own dream job, that has my very own desk! Scrolled through and I didn't see a few of my favorites.

Who doesn't like Einstein?

For the Office Space aficionado, a little bit stealth geek =)

Here there be dragons!

Got to get the matching set. Dragons get lonely, don't you know?

All of which is the next best thing in desk decoration couture of course! Thanks for the contest, and good luck in your new job!

Here's all the files you'll need.

For the paper, I just use standard 8.5x14" Legal paper. My printer has a duplexer, but it won't duplex legal, so I had to do a manual duplex (flipping the paper over by hand and printing everything again). The cover is 65lb Bristol Board and was manually duplexed as well.

My books have 10 pages in them, which is made by two sides of 5 sheets of paper. The pages print 2-up per page and they are cut down the middle long-ways, that way when you fold them in half, the score sheet appears on the front page and the notes page ends up on the back of the score sheet. 5 sheets of paper make two books. I have a paper cutter that can cut the full length of the legal sheet, but if you don't, you can simply use a straight edge and a razor blade, or if you have a regular paper cutter, you can just fold the pages in half on the short edge, then cut them in half on the long edge.

Once everything is stapled, I round the corners using a corner cutter. Here's a cheaper corner cutter, but it can't handle the whole book at once. I have both of those corner cutters, and the cheaper one comes in very handy for other projects I do.

In that link is both Trap and Skeet books. I have a doubles sheet, but I need to finish the cover. Once I get done with it, it'll be in that link as well.

Decorate already!

You need:

These pens



Some Jesus Sticky notes

A Banana for scale

A Cup o Grass Pens

What's that? A Dragon Stapler? STFU.

I'd like a GC to buy my own grass pen cup. (it's 15).

Happy Cake Day!

You didn't mention a dollar limit, so I'm not sure which one to link, so here's like five. One Two Three Four Five

Number five actually has the word "Cake" in it!

Need? I don't really need anything, that is why I have my wishlist, just things I may daydream about, thinking of what I could do with.

Like many in this thread, I am a college student, but I major in electricity and mathematics. One thing I am most eager to use and believe everyone should have is a staple free stapler, I got it for the upcoming semester and am terribly excited to see how it holds up.

Firstly, it will save you money from buying staples.

Secondly, it will ease your mind of wondering how many, if any staples you have left in the contraption. Additionally if you have lost or forgotten any at home, stapling something late at night after shops are long closed.

It's in Japanese, so it has to be cool by internet standards, yes? So if you want to be cool, you have to have it.

I have tested this device and I personally think it is awesome and works wonderfully for binding papers. There is, as a bonus, a viewing window so you can keep binding things and watching the process it uses, super rad.

Thank you for the contest OP and I hope you fair well at UNI.

Did you know there are stapleless staplers?

https://www.amazon.com/Kokuyo-Harinacs-Japanese-Stapleless-Stapler/dp/B004X4K252

pentel's rsvp pens are my favorite and they come in a variety of colors. i find that the different colors help me retain information when note-taking/studying in general.

a phone charger for sure. amazonbasics has cables that work really well for the iphone! amazon has a six month warranty for their amazonbasics things (i think they still do?), so if your cable frays or breaks or whatever, you can just send amazon a message and they'll replace it for you. i think that's awesome since the worst part about having an iphone is how easy the charging cables can fall apart.

also, i think carrying around a mini stapler in your backpack is a great idea. they're handy and cute. bonus: you'll be class hero when a paper is due and everyone is scrambling for a stapler.

usb flash drives are nice and handy, but i'd recommend investing in a portable external harddrive as well. the 2tb ones run about $70-$90 and they're dooooope. you didn't say what you're studying, but i'm a student who works with digital media so i'm constantly transferring large files and an external drive has been of great use. i have this one.

I use a tiny flat stapler for mine. Less than $6 on Amazon and it fits nicely with the rest of my supplies. Swingline Tot Stapler with Built-In Staple Remover, Pre-Packed with 1000 Swingline Standard Staples, Blue (S7079172) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B008DQYCFW/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_dFvbzb3K3S8R1

A Staple less stapler is much more my thing. Only for up to 6 sheets bit still.

This stapler. It's at $34 now. What a bargain.
