Full details
The Q-Connect Half Strip Stapler is a reliable, entry-level desktop tool designed for office workers and students who need a dependable solution for light document binding. Its primary benefit is the durable metal chassis that ensures longevity, though users should note it is strictly limited to a 20-sheet capacity, making it unsuitable for thick booklets or large report stacks.

FAQs
What size staples should I use?
This stapler is compatible with both 24/6 and 26/6 size staples.
How many sheets can it staple at once?
It is designed to handle a maximum of 20 sheets of 80gsm paper.
Is this a full-strip or half-strip stapler?
This is a half-strip stapler, meaning it holds a shorter row of staples compared to standard full-strip models.
Can I use this for permanent binding?
Yes, it is designed for standard stapling tasks, though it does not typically feature a temporary 'pinning' mode.
What is the throat depth?
The throat depth is 55mm, allowing for flexible stapling positions on your documents.
Troubleshooting
Staples are jamming frequently
Clear the stapling head of any bent staples using a small tool, ensure you are not exceeding the 20-sheet limit, and verify you are using standard 24/6 or 26/6 staples.
Staple does not penetrate all pages
Check that the stack is within the 20-sheet capacity and ensure the stapler is on a firm, flat surface before pressing.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To load the stapler, press the release button at the rear and pull the magazine forward until it fully extends. Insert a row of 24/6 or 26/6 staples with the points facing downward, then push the magazine back into the housing until it clicks securely.
Maintenance is simple: keep the stapler dry and free of paper dust. If the mechanism feels sluggish, ensure you are using high-quality staples, as bent or low-grade wires are the primary cause of stapler failure. Store in a drawer or on a flat desk surface to maintain the integrity of the plastic housing.
