Kokuyo Harinacs Stapleless Stapler,Portable Staple Free Stapler,10 Sheets Capacity, Light Blue, Japan Import (SLN-MSH110LB)

Great stapler! Especially for kids, with regular ones kids would loose staples throughout the house and it was a mess, with this one I am not worried at all about that, mess free and no need to worry about reordering staples. It’s capable of stapling a lot of pages indeed, I wouldn’t probably do that for official documents since it makes holes, but for everyday stuff it’s great!

This is one of those products that you say 'wow, that is super cool but do I really need this?' And, the answer, in my experience, is a resounding YES! In fact, once you begin using this particular stapler, you really don't want to use a regular stapler again. Why? Here are my issues with standard staplers: they are monotone, they put these annoying metal pieces into your paper that keep everything from sticking correctly and they prevent you from making a booklet from a stack of paper.A booklet you ask? That's right, did you know that you can make a booklet that transforms pieces of paper into actual usable readable material? Well, with a normal stapler I was never able to perform this task, but with the Harinacs devices, booklets are possible. Check out my pictures where I have constructed a booklet from 10 pieces of paper using the same device in which you can also staple paper together.Another reason this stapler can replace the ancient piece of technology we have been using all our lives (and the 20th/21st century) is the stapling itself. I hate stapling paper because it's rather difficult and takes a quite amount of force for each staple. Plus, I am constantly worrying that the stapler will jam or that I will run out of staples at a moments notice. Both of these issues are solved with this product in that no more staples are required AND, the device rarely jams if at all. In fact, the only time in which I have jammed this stapler is when I overload it with one or two pieces of paper more than it can handle. But, even in a jam, a little wiggling usually solves the problem.Now, as for the ease of use, stapling couldn't be more easy, especially on your grip as the handle feels greased just right, and makes stapling quite pleasurable. Huh? Stapling is enjoyable? It sure is with this device as you get that pleasant feedback and sound with every squeeze of your hand. And, since you don't have to bend metal with every staple, it requires a lot less work. This translates into less hand fatigue even after stapling hundreds of papers together.OK, time for the bads, which are few thankfully. When the Japanese make a product and say it can only handle 10 pages at a time, you should believe them. Also, they made a 7 page model which I used for 2+ years with few issues. This 10 page model is actually smaller, especially in the grip. So, if you have larger hands (that say prevented you from using an iPhone back when it was 3.5 inches diagonal), you probably won't be able to use this stapler without your hands cramping. But, this is an issue I am willing to endure because the product is so good. Also, and this is a warning to everyone, paper that you staple together should only be meant for personal copies or ones which will be heavily marked up or edited. Using this stapler will completely ruin the look of the paper as it will contain holes afterwards. Finally, also in my experience, one hole punch is typically not enough, mainly because I am rough with the paper.Recommendation: Buy and buy several for your employees if you are a small business owner. The price is right at ~$10 especially because you will not have to buy any more staples. And you will be able to do something that you can't do with another stapler, have fun! ! ! :-)Pros:-Compact-Ergonomic-Fun!!-'Green'-Punches 10 pieces of paper very easily-'Staples' hold well-Can transform multiple pages into a booklet-No more annoying staples-Extremely durable even after >2 years of use-Nearly catch and jam free mechanism-Awesome color choices-Design is very appealing-Totally 'Japanese'-Saves money, especially if you use a lot of staples-Much easier on the hand to gripCons-Very Plasticy-Does not feel durable especially when comparing to older models-Requires multiple punches in order to hold-Meant for 'personal' copies only-10 hole punch model smaller than the 7, slightly less easy to hold

Wanted to try one since I go thru A LOT of staples at work. It works pretty good, you don't want to use it for a lot of papers at once. Even if it will punch thru, too many doesn't hold well.Two things I discovered by using it:One: Compared to a standard stapler, it makes a big hole in the papers. This hole can at times punch thru important information like dates and names in the desired punch area. This hole is also more permanent. You can't really 'un-staple' it like with regular staples. It can be kind of unfolded and worked apart, but the hole is still there on the pages. If you need to add additional pages after the first use of the tool, a second hole has to be made, it doesn't work to try to 'staple' again in the same place. I often resort to using a regular staple in this scenario.I really like though, that this tool results in a much flatter result that with a regular staple. When I have to store documents in binders, the staples will build up on each other and fill the binder much faster than using this tool.Two: Since this functions by basically punching a hole and filding the paper, it does only have one holding point of contact to the pages, and this can cause them to be a bit 'twisty at the punch point. A standard staple has two prongs that go thru the papers (two points of contact) so if you try to twist the separate pages at the staple point it holds firm. With this tool sometimes, particularly if I'm attaching shorter pages to longer pages, the pages won't stay parallel and even on the sides because one will twist around. If I get the chance I will make a video to show what I mean.Other than those two points I really like this tool and I feel like it has really reduced the amount of staples I go thru.

I am very well pleased with my purchase of the staple-less stapler. It does exactly what it says it will. I am happy I no longer have to deal with or buy staples anymore. And no more removing staples before putting papers in the shredder! It arrived super fast!!!

It’s ok. … not sure how it will hold up with a bigger stack of papers, but I guess it does a job kind of…

Amazingly well crafted. Secure hold.

It's definitely like the staple-less staplers I remember from Japan, but the packaging clearly says "MADE IN CHINA".

I was super excited to get this item. Upon arrival I opened the mailer, took item out of packaging, and tried to use it on 4 pieces of printer paper. It immediately jammed and would not release the papers. I had to get scissors, cut away the paper and then spent 10 minutes trying to coax out the paper.I didn’t even try to use it again because a little spring had popped out and the mechanism was obviously broken.Totally disappointment
