Kokuyo Stapleless Stapler, Harinacs Desktop & Handheld Staple-Free, Up to 5 Sheets No Staple Binding, Portable Compact Holeless Stapler, White, Japan Import (SLN-MPH105W)

I don't want to deal with a stapler. It requires staples, it makes holes in my papers, it is hard to separate the papers if I need to do that later, and the staples aren't good for my shredder if I eventually choose to destroy the papers. This staple-free binder fixes all of those issues.It is very solid and heavy, and will probably last forever. You stick a stack of papers in the mouth, squeeze down on the handle, and it makes a tiny crimp on the top edge of the papers that keeps them together. So far I mostly bind the papers and file them, so I can't say how long the binding lasts. I suspect the attachment is not heavy-duty - if you need to pass the stack around to a lot of people or will be going through it a lot, you may need to revert to metal staples. But for light use, papers just to be filed, or the home office, this hits all the point for me.

I've had this staple-less stapler for years and use it almost daily for work and it's still going strong. I love that it doesn't create a hole in the papers or any folding. It secures the papers together well. I use it for invoices, stapling receipts to papers, etc. The packaging tells you it can't work for more than 4-5 papers so there's no surprise there. I still use a regular staple for more sheets of paper and when I need it to REALLY stay stapled together like if I'm going to constantly skim through the pages and I know it's going to be tossed around a lot between people.

Seemed like a good idea, BUT the placement of the "perforations" is difficult and not consistent. In addition they don't hold the papers together.Then the instructions are in Japanese. There are pictures, but it does not help. Thought there may be a way to adjust the placement of the perforations.Tried to contact the supplier, but they did not provide any assistance or offer to see if the stapler was defective.Do not recommend purchasing

It’s a cute color, but there’s definitely a limitation on the amount of paper

It does staple the paper but the effect is so close to the edge of the paper you can hardly see it. It does hold about 4 sheets, but so very small. For that reason I will return it for another one hoping I just got a defective one. All the info is in Japanese.

Works great. I got this to connect two pieces of paper together and it works great. The edges of the paper has to be tight into the stapler because it is close to the edge but it works great. When you pull the sheets apart they rip instead of just pulling apart. If you want to take them apart you just have to gently pull the sheets from the ends and they come apart like a zipper.

I feel that it doesn't "staple" far enough on the paper to make them stay together. It crimps it as the very edge of the paper. Would be a great product if it just allowed the paper to go in farther.

I bought this to make tobacco pouches for my husband’s nicotine of choice. He prefers pouches, but the pre-made kind don’t come in flavors he likes. So I cut squares out of coffee filters and fold them in half and crimp the ends. I do two layers of crimps to keep it secure (one pushed the whole way in and one on the very edge of the filter). He packs the filter with as much as he wants and folds it over on top to use it. This stapler is absolutely perfect for this task.I could see this being useful for pre-portioning coffee or loose tea.
