Best manual office 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

No, that's what this is for:

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.

The original review

>Each issue would cost around $5

I don't want to step on anyone's toes, but I just looked at the first issue...and it shouldn't cost anywhere near that much to get them printed. It looks like you want it to be 4/4 100lb gloss on the whole thing and you could get that printed for about $0.83 per issue (2000 copies, 8.5 x 5.5)...and that's just through jak prints (they do good work but can be kind of expensive for short runs on certain things). 4over would probably be cheaper, but I can't check because they froze my account (I think they're running off of a bunch of igens for almost everything, but their work is consistently decent and inexpensive).

But if you really wanted to save money, you could just do them like 2600 magazine....get the covers printed professionally, do everything else on 20lb bond w/ a laser printer, then saddle-stitch them at home with one of these. Though, if you did that, you couldn't do a bleed like you have on the current copy and, if you managed to trim it (which would be a bitch and wouldn't be worth it) you'd have to account for the shift on each page. So maybe that would be something to keep in mind for issue 2 if you decided to go that route.

This is the exact one I have.

Dire stapler.

click here - this is the stapler

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.

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

Here's what I use for making my own comics/zines - it requires a bit of investment for tools, but once you're set up it's SUPER easy.

Scribus (open source) for layouts/typesettings

Adjustable length stapler

Paper slicer

If you make your booklets as a standard "fold in half and staple" type of book, then you won't even need the slicer, which can be a little pricey if you don't find it used. The hardest part is honestly just the setup to make sure that when you print and bind it, that the pages are all in the correct order. Feel free to send me a message if you have any questions. Good luck!

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

They are neat

This is the older version: (I have one, it's cool, it works)

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

I tried doing a basting stitch by hand for my first project with it, but it took hours and left me cramping up for days afterward. When starting my current project, I wound up getting frustrated and breaking out my long-reach stapler (pretty sure it's this one, but I'm not at home right now to check). It's working surprisingly well. I was afraid it'd tear the Aida if I put too much tension on it, but it's been on there close to six weeks and I haven't noticed any issues.

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

I sell mostly vintage when it comes to books. I seal them in 100ga polyofelin shrink, cover in 5/16" bubble wrap, then roll
2" corrugated into a "box" around it, sealed with 3" 3.5mil tape lengthwise and 1/4" staples on the ends. If it is a really flimsy/flexible book, I will also put it between two sheets of matte board (this stuff, but I get it for free from CL/dumpsters/store closings/etc) before making the roll so that it won't bend.

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

or this http://www.amazon.com/Kokuyo-Harinacs-Japanese-Stapleless-Stapler/dp/B004X4K252/

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!

Congrats on the sail and good video as usual. I've lost track of how many projects I've done and I still sew stuff to itself on occassion so you shouldn't worry about that. A couple of tips you may or may not find helpful - to help feed the slick dacron on that LSZ-1 I like to tighten the pressure foot WAY down. The half way point like where you were is great as a general setting and I actually back it off a bit from there when doing webbing. Second, I think the easiest way to do your tapes (luff or leech) is with a stapler. For luff tape you need a stapler intended for a hundred sheets or more, not for the strength but so the underside of the tool clears to cords in the luff tape so the staples set correctly. It's infinitely easier than basting tape and ultimately cheaper. Staplers (big or little) are also really nice on sunbrella projects where the basting tape doesn't hold as well as it should. I almost always resort to one when doing something like the small circle on the top of a winch cover. Welcome to the wonderful world of marine canvas, I look forward to future projects.

Edit: Something like this for sails - https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0006HUPU2/ref=mp_s_a_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1480167018&sr=8-2&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_FMwebp_QL65&keywords=large+capacity+stapler

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).

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.

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've got one of the swing line ruler staplers, if you pay shipping I'll donate to your collection.

The thing I love about zines is the infinite ways in which they can be made.

I draw mine digitally (used to use ink, switched to digital a few years ago), print them at home in black and white, on 8.5x11 (somtimes 5.5x4.25) with a duplexing Brother printer, staple them with a booklet stapler, crease them with a bone folder, then distribute them in various ways.

I used to run a zine subscription where I sent out a new, original zine each month to people who subscribed for ~$40. I also table at zine fests across the country. And I donate zines to any/all local zine libraries I can find.

I have illustration zines, lettering zines, and poetry zines, and I have noticed that poetry zines (aka "chapbooks") usually sell way less. I think it's because (in the U.S. at least) poetry is just undervalued in general (unfortunately).

Aren't they like $30 at Staples??

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.

When we made receipt books at my old job we would use big staples and black paper tape to cover the staples. That would make an attractive book.

I don't remember the brand or style of tape, but gaffers tape might work.

I'd love this! I'm addicted to all things Tetris, and this would be perfect! If it's too much though, just skip over me. Thank you for the contest!

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!

Did you know there are stapleless staplers?

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

I prefer the long flat ones like [this] (http://www.amazon.com/Swingline-Stapler-Adjustable-Locking-S7034121P/dp/B0006HUPRA/ref=sr_1_3?s=office-products&ie=UTF8&qid=1449595377&sr=1-3&keywords=booklet+stapler). A lot of copy shops have them laying around to use

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!

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

> What... exactly... constitutes gourmet staples?

They're called "heavy duty staples", and with the right stapler you can practically bind books with them. >200 sheets in one ka-chunk.

Dat's some hard shit, man.
