i just did 28 sheets of standard white office printer paper. didnt think i could do it, but i was succesful. now im wondering how many more i can do. and i didnt do it by slamming my hand down on the stapler. it was bruce grip force.

stapler - staples item #31937 (plastic)
staples - swingline item #35108
paper - skillcraft (90 percent recycled with 50 percent post-consumer recycled material)

if you decide to try this out on your own, please post the specifications for comparitive purposes.

    What's the paperweight? that's what really counts...
    I use 24# in my printer, it's considered 'heavyweight'

    i have a red plastic generic shitty ass stapler.
    it is so much a piece of crap that no model number or name of brand is on the stapler.
    it stapled my research papers & essays when i was being schooled.
    all my essay and research papers were 400 page minimum environmental science books.
    this stapler is a successful piece of shit deskworking tool that i need.

    This "Bruce" sounds like he's developed quite a grip. From what, I imagine?

    ever turn the thingy on the back of the stapler around so the staple folds outwards rather than inwards?

    i like doing this a lot.

    dude. thats awesome. i am kinda skeptical though. i cant find the specs on the 313hd. is that one of those larger model staplers with the extended fulcrum arm? if so, im not counting your acheivement. the staple has to be hand held.
