A stapling device, commonly known as a stapler, is a tool used to fasten sheets of paper together by driving a metal clasp, called a staple, through the sheets. Staplers come in various sizes, from small handheld versions for light use to larger, electric models designed for heavy-duty tasks. They are widely used in offices, schools, and homes for organizing documents. Staplers operate by using a lever mechanism that compresses a spring-loaded mechanism to push the staple through the paper. Some staplers also have a built-in staple remover for easy document disassembly. Additionally, there are different types of staples available, including standard, heavy-duty, and specialty staples for specific applications.
