AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers around frustrations with traditional staplers, particularly Swingline models, which often fail to staple effectively. Users express annoyance over the frequency of failed staples and the need to discard underperforming staplers. A solution is found in the PaperPro Prodigy, a non-electric stapler that reportedly performs significantly better, with users claiming it staples over 20 sheets without failure. The stapler's design includes a safety feature, though some users humorously bypass it to test its speed and power, likening it to a "dangerous weapon" due to its fast staple ejection. The excitement surrounding the PaperPro Prodigy has led to users purchasing multiple units and actively seeking out items to staple, highlighting its appeal and effectiveness in office settings.

I have said that many times. "It's 200x, does anyone make a stapler that actually staples most of the time?" It is something that aggravates the hell out of me. Pulling out failed staples. I have tossed many Swinglines in the garbage after they get below 90%. And since they don't start at 100%, it doesn't take long. A new one might be 96% to 98% at best.

Well no more!


I found a stapler that actually works and it isn't electric. This stapler is orders of magnitude better than a regular Swingline. I have one at home and we now have one at work and neither one has had a failed staple yet. It even uses regular staples and can staple over 20 sheets. This may not seem like a big deal, but this stapler is so cool it actually gets people excited once they use it. It even has a safety so it can't shoot them easily, which we bypassed of course to see how it shoots them and it could be called a dangerous weapon, the shots are virtually invisible it shoots them so fast. :devil:

Good find -- after reading your post I bought a PaperPro Prodigy from Amazon. I rarely have anything to staple but I couldn't resist because the technology looked cool. Now I look for things to staple whether they need it or not. Purchased 5 more of them for friends.

I hope you aren't planning to invade Canada with this weapon of mass destruction.

Staples sells these - I've been using them for a few years. Basically, it's just the lever action of a staple gun applied to an office stapler.

Yes, you can use it like a staple gun. The one I used to have at my old job was an older one without a safety and you could just unfold it and squeeze it and shoot staples at your cowor...er, across the room at inanimate objects.

Just ONCE, I wanted to see a post titled Status Update that was not a blatant, annoying spam post by a new member. So here it is. Today was a good day here in Northern Wisconsin. Fall colors are here, no mosquitos, no deer flies, and mild temperature, so my morning run was unusually nice. Only two meetings today, and both went well. The deer that was road killed just down the road two weeks ago is now fully decomposed, so no more smell. Somebody has a spike buck skull for their...
