7 Stand-Out Staplers, Plus a Staple Remover
Office supply junkies - this one's for you!
1. Red Swingline 747 Stapler
This stapler was apparently featured in the movie Office Space, which I didn't see. After years of dull black staplers, I just like the splash of color. But apparently it's a pretty good stapler, too. [Note: The price on the Swingline web site seems to be higher than the one shown on other web sites. Photo from this web site.]
2. PaperPro Stapler
Neat looking, and easy on the hands - you can staple by pressing with just one finger. Various models handle 15, 20, or 25 sheets of paper. [via Tribe]
3. Moss Stapler
This is one of the simple and elegant staplers. Others include the Design Line stapler and the Blomus stapler. Update on April 30, 2012: The stapler pictured is actually the Folle stapler, which was sold by Moss, but no longer is. However, you can find it at Emmo Home. However, I'm no longer finding the Design Line stapler anywhere.
4. Hello Kitty Stapler
This one's for those who favor cute over elegant.
5. Flowered stapler
Here's a softer look that might be nice in some home offices.
6. Recycled Plastic Mini-Stapler
This stapler is made with 84.3% recycled plastic, and it has a 20 sheet capacity. Update on Feb. 24, 2011: I'm not finding this specific stapler any more, but there are others made with recycled plastic, such as the one shown here.
7. Stapuller
Do your staple pullers always go missing? This stapler has a built-in staple puller. Update on Feb. 24, 2011: I'm not finding this product any more.
Staple Remover from Jac Zagoory Designs
This alligator is one of a number of designs; others include a dragon, a T-Rex, and an elephant.
I have a very cool automatic stapler. It's a desk top battery operated and you simply slide the paper in the slot and it automatically staples. It's the envy of everyone :-)
ReplyDeleteGood point, Lissanne! Automatic staplers can certainly be cool - and very useful to people with arthritis and other ailments.
ReplyDeleteSome of them are truly ugly - but others, like this one from Panasonic, would look fine on almost anyone's desk.
My favorite gift idea this season was the stapless stapler. It's great for stapling five or less sheets of paper (and saves a miniscule bit of landfill space).

Thanks for this blog! I found it a long time ago, then lost the link. I'm so glad I found it again.
SUS, I've seen those staple-less staplers, but never tried one out myself. I'm glad to know they work well for you.
