For whatever reason, several different people filed patents for devices designed to staple paper toward the bottom half of the 1800s. There is some dispute as to who actually deserves the credit, but the first stapler appeared in 1879 and was called the McGill Single-Stroke Staple Press.

Medium and heavy wire staple guns generally load from the top, while most fine wire staplers are bottom load.

Usually, the alignment of the staples will be at fault. Remove the staples, and reinsert, making adjustments so that the staples are properly aligned with the magazine edges.

Find the release button. Manual and electric staplers have a release button, usually located at the rear of the staple gun. Sometimes it is easily identified as a gripped area covered in rubber. It is often at the end of the handle. Legend has it the stapler was first created in France in the 18th century, commissioned into existence by no other than the King of France at the time, King Louis XV. Lou was looking for a more expedient way to fasten his royal documents together, and et voila, the stapler was born. The staples the King used were a bit different than the ones we’ve described above: Lou’s staples bore his royal court’s insignia, and some claim they were made of gold and encrusted with jewels. Gawdy to us, maybe, but pretty on-brand for a King. At this point, you may be wondering what’s the standard staple that fits the standard stapler found in nearly every standard classroom and office?

Its stapling capacity might not be impressive compared to other models we covered (10 sheets). Still, it makes a fine addition to your office equipment because its rubber base prevents skidding and slipping, which keeps it securely in place.
