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.
