Stapling a stack of paper with more than 10 pages is a pain with a normal stapler. A stapler with a pair of "fangs" (or sharp pins) adjacent the staple exit could be added which would make guide holes for the staple to enter. Accomodating holes would also need to be made in the stapler base.

You realize, of course, that a stapler with fangs is no longer a "normal" stapler, so your problem doesn't go away... |

This would be very nice. OSHA probably will forbid it, after heavy lobbying from manufacturers of staples who love all those crooked, wasted staples. |

I have used something of a "super stapler" at my school library. It is specifically for stapling more than 10 pages or so. It is a bit larger than a normal stapler and uses thicker, sturdier staples that penetrate the stack quite easily. Good idea, but I guess it actually kind of exists. |

The "super staplers" I have seen work fine on thick piles, but they fail on just two sheets. They pushed the whole staple through. That seems to be a common problem because [LL]'s link talks a lot about "flexibility" of the heavy duty staplers. |

With current technology offices need two sizes of staplers, for the light and heavy days. The Transylvanian Stapler offers an elegant alternative. |
