Collection: Heavy Duty

Choosing a heavy duty stapler

A desk stapler is made for bundles of 20 or 25 sheets. Thicker jobs such as tender documents, ledgers, exam papers and booklets need a heavy duty stapler with a longer handle and longer pins. This collection brings together the Opal PS and HD-12 series, a long-arm model and a heavy duty punch.

Start with the number of sheets you bind most often. The Opal PS-613, HD-12N13 and PS-1213 handle up to 100 sheets with pins from 23/6 to 23/13. The PS-617 and HD-12S17 reach 120 sheets, and the PS-1217 reaches 140. For the thickest files, the PS-1224 and PS-624 staple up to 210 sheets with pins up to 23/24. The HD-12N24 takes the same pin range.

Base, reach and accessories

Wood-base models such as the PS-624 stay stable on the desk and add a paper height control. The PS-1213, PS-1217 and PS-1224 have all-metal bodies with a plastic grip, a jam clearing mechanism and up to 50% power saving. If you need extra reach, see the HD-12L24 long-arm stapler.

Find pins in pins and clips, remove staples with the Opal SRL-35, and punch thick files with the Opal 2160 punch. Everyday models are in 24/6 staplers, and the wider range is in staplers and punches.
