Where to buy a long arm stapler

In the old days, it was harder to keep your papers organised. Among the first methods used were red tape (1780s), eyelets (1850s), paper fasteners made of brass (1860s), and "Individual Preformed Staples" (1870s). The staples of the 1870s operated much as ours today. One of the noted improvements was the long arm stapler which allowed one to reach farther, making it possible to staple booklets together. In this article, you will learn where to buy a long arm stapler.

Office supply stores

An office supply store would have a fairly wide choice of long arm staplers. They would be mainly for office use and also of varying quality. Check them out in the store to see whether you like how they operate. You can also get an idea of how well they'll hold up for repeated use. The booklet staplers should be fairly heavy-duty to be able to drive the staple through a multitude of paper. Online retailers of office supplies can have these staplers also - but you will not be able to try them out beforehand.

Craft stores

Another source for the long arm stapler is craft stores. Like the office supply store, you would be able to test out the staplers first. Quality is important for you don't want to have to return to the store to buy another one until at least a year or more of use - hopefully much more. The prices will vary here also, just as with an office supply store. You may also be able to buy the long arm stapler from online craft retailers. Shop carefully - the opportunity to handle the stapler before buying it will not be there.

Building supply stores

If you are not happy with the quality or toughness of the long arm staplers available at craft stores and office supply stores, then a building supply store may be the best alternative for you. Here you will be able to find heavy-duty staplers meant for professionals as well as those meant for Harry Homebuilder types. The quality will vary, as well as the toughness, but in all, the staplers here will very likely be tougher than those found elsewhere. You may find you have to pay a but more upfront, but you will have the satisfaction of knowing that these staplers will last for a good long while.
