Review: Staple Free Stapler
June 5, 2007 | By Jared Howard | 3,765 Views
Has your company recently switched from Swingline to Boston staplers and the damn thing keeps binding up on you? Well don’t burn your building down just yet for modern technology and ingenuity has now brought you the answer to your prayers, the Staple Free Stapler.
So what kind of witchcraft is necessary to make this feat of modern science possible?
In a nutshell the stapler basically cuts a tab through the papers you are stapling together. It then cuts a slit and stitches the tabs up through it. So does it work? Besides cutting a hole through your papers it does actually staple (if you want to call it that) your papers together pretty well. Now a paper stitch obviously does not hold as strong as a metal staple but I found it to be surprisingly sturdy. I found 5 pages of regular weight paper to be the max the stapler could handle, with the optimal range being between 3 and 4 pages. You obviously would not replace all your office staplers with this but for “stapling” together papers around the house like bills, the Staple Free Stapler is a pretty effective (and cheap) solution which moves it out of the realm of being strictly a novelty product to something that could actually be useful in the right situations.
Price: $5.99

So how do you “un-staple”? when you need to say make a copy of the sheets and how do you re-staple. This is only good for pages that you know you will staple only once and file. OR great for kids. Since they can not cut themselves on the metal edges that sometimes stick out of the paper.

I’d rather have little holes in my papers than big holes–thumbs down on this one.
