The Bostitch 40000M-BLK is designed as a "push-style" remover, which serves as a gentler alternative to traditional claw-style models that can often damage paper. Tests show that this design excels in maintaining document integrity, specifically offering a 92% reduction in paper tearing. The lifting blade consists of a hardened carbon steel wedge with a precise 15-degree entry angle, allowing it to slide easily under staples.
For household safety, the tool features a shielded blade to help prevent accidental skin punctures. It also includes an integrated neodymium magnetic tip. Specifications indicate this magnet is optimized for standard 26/6 staples, serving as a helpful way to capture "staple shrapnel" and keep small metal pieces away from home electronics or off the floor.
To ensure the best results and avoid accidental document damage, it is recommended to use this tool while the paper is resting flush against a flat desk surface.
While the high-impact polymer chassis is built to handle daily household use, it is best suited for standard office staples. Practical usage indicates the tool may experience material stress if used on heavy-duty or industrial-grade fasteners. The metal tongue is durable for its intended purpose but should not be used as a pry bar for non-staple items to avoid bending the tip.
If your organization needs require a more traditional grip for removing staples from bulletin boards, you might consider the ZZTX Staple Puller 3-Pack which features a classic wing design.
