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.

we'll be on page 4 any minute now.....

but honestly, stapling for fun is 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

a most exciting topic indeed. so many styles, sizes and varieties. the possiblititiittitees are endless

and the fancy ones that resemble folded stars, yes/no?
or the fancy clip that snaps closed and folds.
very nice office & school supplies.
when in school, i always stole stuff from the supply closets. :twisted:

i prefer this style

Thread integrity people , please maintain thread integrity. If you wish to speak about other office supplies please do so in another thread topic specific or a general supplies thread.

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
