This Staples-branded bundle provides a basic three-piece set for home or school desks, consisting of a full-strip stapler, 1,250 staples, and a claw-style remover. The stapler is built with a cold-rolled steel base frame for weight and stability, while the outer casing is made of high-impact plastic. It features a reversible anvil, which allows for both permanent binding and temporary pinning of documents.
Specifications indicate a maximum capacity of 20 sheets. However, for the best long-term performance and to avoid the driver blade becoming misaligned, tests suggest a practical limit of approximately 12 sheets for daily use. The included "standard" grade staples are best suited for these lighter stacks of paper. The claw remover uses a chrome-plated jaw set with a high-tension spring designed to lift staples quickly.
To preserve the life of the rubberized base pad, it is best to keep the stapler in a climate-controlled environment to prevent the adhesive from degrading over time.
The unit measures to fit comfortably on any standard desk and holds a full strip of 210 staples. While the low entry cost makes this a budget-friendly choice for a student's first desk, users should be aware that the claw remover lacks ergonomic padding, which may be felt during large, repetitive tasks.
If you find that a desktop unit takes up too much space, you might prefer the Bostitch Ascend 3-in-1 which features a more compact "half-strip" footprint.
