The Bostitch Office Ascend is a "3-in-1" tool that combines a stapler, an integrated remover, and a hidden staple storage compartment in a single "half-strip" unit. Its compact size is well-suited for home offices with limited desk space. The design includes a visual reload window, which allows you to see when staples are low, helping to prevent "dry-firing" and reducing wear on the internal steel driving blade.
Specifications indicate a 20-sheet capacity, which is reliable for standard home office tasks. The outer shell is made of a lightweight polymer, making it easy to handle. However, for those who prefer "slam-stapling," it's worth noting that the lightweight construction can result in more vibration during use. The integrated remover is most effective for small stacks of 2 to 5 sheets.
- Includes a base grip made of thermoplastic rubber to help keep the unit in place.
- Features a storage compartment in the base that can hold two extra strips of staples.
- Comes in a clean white finish that complements modern desk aesthetics.
To ensure the longest life for the storage compartment, it is helpful to handle the latch-gate with care. While the unit is designed for convenience, users with high-volume needs may find that the polymer remover has a tendency to flex if used on very thick stacks of paper.
If you need a more traditional, full-sized stapling experience for high-volume work, the Staples Desktop Stapler Bundle provides a robust alternative.
