Kokuyo Stapleless Stapler

I was amazed by the ingenuity of the inventor of this device. This devices holds paper like an ordinary stapler but without using any staples. How? It cuts a narrow piece of paper and then it folds it back into the hole creating a knot. It perform all of these actions while you just pressing its handle. Sturdy and quiet. The good thing is that unlike ordinary stapler, it does not create sharp edges. The only drawback is that it cannot staple thick layer of papers.

Works great, It holds paper very well and its design is easy to hold, understand, and doesn't take to much force. I love how it is stapleless so you don't have to worry about running out of staples. You can also see it doing it which is a great added feature. Very easy to use, seems durable. Its effortless and makes no noise. Great Value!

ALL INSTRUCTIONS AND WARRANTIES ARE WRITTEN IN JAPANESE AND OTHER ASIAN SCRIPTS, NO ENGLISH!!!Other than that, the stapler works as advertised and does hold paper together. Would have given five stars if English instructions had been included, this sale was in fact made in the USA.

This stapleless stapler is witchcraft. I love it.I don’t use it for any thick packets so it does the job for me. No more staples ending up in recycling bins from my classroom.Very impressed so far.

I was really skeptical of if this would work or not, but I am an attorney who works with clients in jail a lot and want to give them paperwork but cannot use staples so I gave this a try - and I LOVE it. I feel like a kid because every time I use it I look at the papers it connects and it feels like magic that something so simple can really cut the sheets and braid it through - which is also just so effective. I've even started using this otherwise because it helps several packets fit together better than bulky staples. Would definitely recommend and will probably purchase again if it breaks or wears out!

This is one of those products that you say 'wow, that is super cool but do I really need this?' And, the answer, in my experience, is a resounding YES! In fact, once you begin using this particular stapler, you really don't want to use a regular stapler again. Why? Here are my issues with standard staplers: they are monotone, they put these annoying metal pieces into your paper that keep everything from sticking correctly and they prevent you from making a booklet from a stack of paper.A booklet you ask? That's right, did you know that you can make a booklet that transforms pieces of paper into actual usable readable material? Well, with a normal stapler I was never able to perform this task, but with the Harinacs devices, booklets are possible. Check out my pictures where I have constructed a booklet from 10 pieces of paper using the same device in which you can also staple paper together.Another reason this stapler can replace the ancient piece of technology we have been using all our lives (and the 20th/21st century) is the stapling itself. I hate stapling paper because it's rather difficult and takes a quite amount of force for each staple. Plus, I am constantly worrying that the stapler will jam or that I will run out of staples at a moments notice. Both of these issues are solved with this product in that no more staples are required AND, the device rarely jams if at all. In fact, the only time in which I have jammed this stapler is when I overload it with one or two pieces of paper more than it can handle. But, even in a jam, a little wiggling usually solves the problem.Now, as for the ease of use, stapling couldn't be more easy, especially on your grip as the handle feels greased just right, and makes stapling quite pleasurable. Huh? Stapling is enjoyable? It sure is with this device as you get that pleasant feedback and sound with every squeeze of your hand. And, since you don't have to bend metal with every staple, it requires a lot less work. This translates into less hand fatigue even after stapling hundreds of papers together.OK, time for the bads, which are few thankfully. When the Japanese make a product and say it can only handle 10 pages at a time, you should believe them. Also, they made a 7 page model which I used for 2+ years with few issues. This 10 page model is actually smaller, especially in the grip. So, if you have larger hands (that say prevented you from using an iPhone back when it was 3.5 inches diagonal), you probably won't be able to use this stapler without your hands cramping. But, this is an issue I am willing to endure because the product is so good. Also, and this is a warning to everyone, paper that you staple together should only be meant for personal copies or ones which will be heavily marked up or edited. Using this stapler will completely ruin the look of the paper as it will contain holes afterwards. Finally, also in my experience, one hole punch is typically not enough, mainly because I am rough with the paper.Recommendation: Buy and buy several for your employees if you are a small business owner. The price is right at ~$10 especially because you will not have to buy any more staples. And you will be able to do something that you can't do with another stapler, have fun! ! ! :-)Pros:-Compact-Ergonomic-Fun!!-'Green'-Punches 10 pieces of paper very easily-'Staples' hold well-Can transform multiple pages into a booklet-No more annoying staples-Extremely durable even after >2 years of use-Nearly catch and jam free mechanism-Awesome color choices-Design is very appealing-Totally 'Japanese'-Saves money, especially if you use a lot of staples-Much easier on the hand to gripCons-Very Plasticy-Does not feel durable especially when comparing to older models-Requires multiple punches in order to hold-Meant for 'personal' copies only-10 hole punch model smaller than the 7, slightly less easy to hold

Tested it a few times and seemed to work pretty well. Came back to it a couple weeks later and the spring inside broke off after a couple of uses return window already closed.

Stapler seems to work as described. All instructions come in Japanese, except for the country of origin, which says, "MADE IN CHINA". On the stapler itself it also says, "MADE IN CHINA". Very deceptive if you consider that it was advertised as "Japan Import". Therefore, only 3 stars, not 5.
