Stapler of the Week Archive- Rexel Giant

Rexel GIANT steel, rubber, and plastic

Some stapling jobs require specialty staplers.  In the binding of booklets and documents there are saddle staplers, long reach staplers, and high capacity staplers such as the Rexel GIANT. The GIANT can staple up to 100 sheets with the largest of the three staple sizes it uses.  In order to drive and close a staple through that many sheets its necessary to have leverage.  It's all-steel construction is able to complete this operation where the plastic handle construction of the ACCO 131 eventually failed.  On the base, a sliding stop controls the distance of the staple from the edge of the paper and is adjusted by a wing nut on the underside.  In fact, a great deal of the stapler is constructed not with rivets but with nuts and bolts.  All of this is evidence of quality and design of a product meant to last, no planned obsolescence here.
