A manual stapler is a handheld device used to fasten sheets of paper together by driving a metal clasp, known as a staple, through the sheets. It typically consists of a base, a lever, and a magazine that holds the staples. Manual staplers are commonly used in offices, schools, and homes for organizing documents. These staplers come in various sizes and designs, catering to different needs. Some are compact for portability, while others are designed for heavy-duty use, capable of stapling thicker stacks of paper. They are easy to operate and require no electricity, making them a reliable tool for everyday tasks.
