Yes, OK, staples aren't a major problem for most of us, but filling a stapler is kind of fiddly. And most shredders don't like staples, so you have to remove them before shredding anything. And they can be quite annoying if they fall on the carpet. So maybe they are a \u003cem\u003ebit\u003c\/em\u003e of a problem.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnd as for those who work in food production, or hospitals, where little metal staples can be a much more serious risk, they're a much \u003cem\u003ebigger\u003c\/em\u003e problem.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWell, the Staple-Free Stapler staples without using staples! How? It uses a clever little mechanism to cut and fold the sheets together, tucking a flap through a cut, linking the sheets together quite firmly. In use, though, it just takes one push, just as a normal stapler does.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs an added bonus, the holes left by the stapling process, where the tab is folded over, are about the same size as holes made by a hole punch. Use the guide in the base to staple twice in the right places, and the resulting stapled sheets can be put into a ring binder using the staple-holes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere are, of course, some downsides to be aware of:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIt can only staple a limited number of sheets - 5 for the Hand Stapler, 10 for the Desk Stapler.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRemoving a staple leaves two small holes, if done neatly. The Staple-free Stapler leaves a bit more mess when unfolded.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe fold of paper is thicker at the stapled point.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf those downsides aren't too much of a problem for you, why bother with staples again?\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"PLUS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46201818087667,"sku":"PS00017","price":23.86,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0659\/6388\/4787\/files\/PS00017_PLUS-Staple-Free-Desk-Stapler-Black_P1.jpg?v=1727178673","url":"https:\/\/cultpens.com\/en-us\/products\/plus-staple-free-desk-stapler-black","provider":"Cult Pens","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
