(Part 2) Best office staplers & hole punches according to redditors

I wonder if the uptick in staple searching on Amazon will be noticed by their tracking.

Also, OP might be interested in these colored staples: https://www.amazon.com/Standard-Staples-Free-Office-3000pcs/dp/B07CZV9PSZ/

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.

This isn’t necessarily a difficult piece to recover, but there are a few things to keep in mind if you decide to try to tackle it yourself. I would suggest:

1. Be careful removing the old fabric and double welt cord so you don’t knick/scratch the wood (buying a staple pulling tool like this one can help with control and lessen the chance of damaging the wood) https://www.amazon.com/C-S-Osborne-Spoon-Staple-Puller/dp/B07DNF34JJ/ref=mp_s_a_1_12?keywords=cs+osborne+upholstery+tools&qid=1573576886&sprefix=cs+osborne+&sr=8-12)
   
   
2. Save the fabric pattern and cut your new piece slightly bigger. (About an inch or 2) This allows you to have enough excess to get a grip on and pull the fabric tight while stapling.
   
   
3. Start at one side and put a couple of staples in and then move to the opposite side until you’ve put a few staples in on each of the 4 sides to ‘set’ your fabric in place. (Don’t worry about any ‘overhang’, you’ll cut that off •very carefully• with a razor blade once you’ve stapled everything down.) Once you have it set you can work outwardly from those few staples you put in on each side pulling the fabric tight as you go. If you start to get a wrinkle or weird spot, just pull out the last couple staples and work on it until you get it right.
   
   4.when you come to legs or arm rests you may have to snip the fabric and fold it under a bit to get it to go around areas like that. Just snip carefully and make small cuts to start. You can always make the cuts bigger if you need to until it looks right.
   
   
4. If you’re not going to make the double welt yourself you’ll have to find a pre-made cord, or you could use nail heads to cover he edges if you want to change the look of the chair up. If you stick with double welt, there’s a secret to attaching welt to pieces like this...hot glue.
   
   Good luck! If you have any more questions don’t hesitate to ask :)

This is the one I have

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.

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.

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.

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.

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/

I'm assuming you look for kids Staples I had a mini stapler as a child that took little staples and they were marketed as kids.
It might be helpful to know what kind of stapler because

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!

definitely the best scanner app (I just scan my readings now, takes no time at all) https://readdle.com/products/scannerpro5

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.

Assume: 44 gallon bin (thanks /u/BlazeOrangeDeeer), that the packing fraction of used staples is 1/4 (guess), that 25,000 staples weigh 1.9 lbs, and that the density of the staple metal is 8000 kg/m^3.

That gives me about 10,000,000 staples
