How to Choose a Desktop Stapler.

Every office needs a good desktop stapler. Staplers are among the most basic of office supplies. Because desk top staplers are so ubiquitous, it's easy to under-think the purchase. These days, desktop staplers are available in a dizzying range of styles, so it's best to carefully consider your individual stapling needs before you go shopping.

for Staplers

How many people will use the stapler?
How often do you have to staple documents in your office?
How many sheets do you usually have to staple together. When shopping for your stapler, note the "Sheet Capacity" of the various models. "Sheet capacity" refers to the number of pages a stapler can staple at one time.
Do you hold the stapler in your hand when you use it, or staple on your desk?
