Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Made By Humans, Eco Staple Free Stapler, Desktop Stapler, Black (452)
Customer Review: Good Stapler for 3-4 Pages, Decent for 2 or 5, Questionable Beyond 6
Summary: 3 Stars
I have been cursed with both a selection of professors who refuse to take papers unstapled (or to provide a stapler) and a brain that refuses to accept that papers come out of printers without staples. I have purchased those tiny little staplers that they sell for this purpose, but seriously those things hold about 20 staples each and run out fast between me and anybody who happened to sit next to me on paper turn in day. This little contraption requires no refills which allows me to be as absentminded about my stapling (of 5 papers or less approximately) as I want!
Now what you really want to know. How does this marvelous little contraption work!
Well, just like a normal stapler. You slide paper in. You push down. You release. You pull paper out. Paper is stapled. Fantastic, right?
It basically cuts a elongated u and a line into your paper, then proceeds to pull at the flap of paper left by the u and tuck it into the line. To remove the 'staple,' I tend to stick the tip of my pencil at the tab and untuck the tab, very easy. Don't try to staple it again at the same point. It'll just cut holes.
Now my main gripes with it. It is really only good for stapling of approximately 3-4 papers. Now with 2, the stitch comes undone too easily due to the lack of the thickness of the paper being tucked into the line. With 5, it begins to get a little bulky and becomes a little trickier. Beyond that, you're going to need a real stapler unless you want the stapler to rip your paper while attempting the tucking procedure, if it can get that far. Also, the staple leaves a hole on your paper and tucking thing means that the paper is displaced. So if you have a tendency to staple right next to your words, this is not the stapler for you. Also due to the size of the stapler, you are limited in how far into the paper you can staple but you do need all that space because or else you might just end up cutting a chunk out of the side of your paper. Once you figure out where you need to be, it's pretty easy.
I enjoy this stapler, but it is very specific to what it can handle. I guess it's a good thing that most of my papers are exactly 3-4 pages long, but for the longer papers (or thicker papers), I find myself digging out the old Swingline. I would recommend this as an additional stapler but not an only stapler.
Description of Made By Humans, Eco Staple Free Stapler, Desktop Stapler, Black (452)
Staples papers together without staples! Yes, really. This is how it works: The Eco Staple Free Stapler cuts out tiny strips of paper in the corner of your documents and uses these strips to "stitch" up to five pages of standard paper together. No more metal staples (so that's good for the planet and your wallet). Ideal for paper shredders. Child safe. Uses no metal staples. Creates no paper waste. Safe for children.Kitchen and Housewares
