Standard paper (couldn't find the weight listed on the package anywhere)
Bates 313HD Stapler

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.

it's gotta be and finding anything on a bats stapler is tough. i found one of those big ones that is rated at 200 shets.

ALWAYS one page short of what I need.

Honestly though , I gave up competitive stapling when I gave up drinking. the excitement of achievement just wasn't there anymore. Now I dont even do it for fun.

let me know if you top 45...i might be able to hit 46 or 47...maybe 48....49 would be pushing it.

45 had the barbs all the way thru with bend in them. 50 got no bend.

stretch your staples.
heat them with a torch, pound them out flatter and longer
you may have to readjust the staplers configuration…
or use a vice-grip

dude. you cant do that. they wouldnt fit in the stapler. plus, your lowering the yield strength by heating the staple, thus lowering the penetration factor of said staple
