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.

bro, i havent even attempted to push the limits yet.

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.

but it's not a swingline.

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.
