The clerk wants it in triplicate, stapled — and the desk stapler folds flat on copy one. Thick stacks are a different sport: tenancy contracts, university projects, ministry paperwork, year-end filing. A heavy-duty stapler is built for exactly them — longer staples, a deeper throat, and a full-arm press that goes clean through where the small one crumples. Keep both on the desk: the little one for everyday pages, this one for the day the pile gets serious.

Good for
Contracts and official copies · dissertations and reports · a home office's monthly filing
Not for
Two or three pages — heavy staples chew thin stacks, and it's tiring for casual use. Keep a desk stapler for the everyday.

Questions people ask
Does it take normal staples?
No — it wants the heavy-duty sizes, sold at any stationery shop. Match the leg length to your stack and it bites clean.
