A standard stapler is a common office tool used to fasten sheets of paper together. It operates by driving a metal clasp, called a staple, through the sheets and folding the ends over the paper to secure them. Standard staplers are typically handheld and can bind a small number of pages, usually up to 20 sheets, depending on the model. These staplers come in various sizes and designs, often made from plastic or metal. They are essential for organizing documents and are widely used in offices, schools, and homes. Some models also include a built-in staple remover for added convenience.
