Full details
The Q-Connect Half Strip Metal Stapler (KF14209) is designed for busy office professionals and home users who require a dependable tool for light-duty document organization.

FAQs
Can this stapler handle 20 sheets of heavy cardstock?
No, the 20-sheet capacity is rated specifically for 80gsm paper. Using thicker cardstock may reduce the number of sheets it can effectively fasten.
What is the difference between 24/6 and 26/6 staples?
These refer to the gauge of the wire. 24/6 uses thicker wire than 26/6, but both are standard sizes that this stapler supports.
Does it include a staple remover?
No, this model does not feature an integrated staple remover on the base.
Is this a full-strip or half-strip stapler?
This is a half-strip stapler, meaning it holds approximately 105 staples at a time.
How do I clear a jammed staple?
Open the stapler top, remove the remaining strip of staples, and use a pair of tweezers or a thin tool to clear the jam from the head area.
Troubleshooting
Stapler jams frequently
Check if you are using the correct staple size (24/6 or 26/6) and ensure the staple strip is not bent before insertion.
Staple legs are not clinching properly
Ensure the anvil plate on the base is clean and rotated to the correct position for standard stapling.
Device is difficult to open
Press down lightly on the cap while pulling it upward to disengage the locking mechanism.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Durable all-metal internal components
- Comfortable grip design
- Compatible with standard 24/6 and 26/6 staples
- Compact half-strip footprint saves desk space
Cons
- Requires more frequent refills than full-strip staplers
- Not suitable for heavy-duty stacks exceeding 20 sheets

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To load the stapler, gently pull up on the top cap until the staple carriage slides open, then insert a strip of either 24/6 or 26/6 staples. Ensure the staples are pushed forward against the guide. For long-term care, store the stapler in a dry environment to prevent moisture damage to the metal components. If the device feels stiff, avoid using heavy lubricants as they can attract dust; simply clearing any stray staple fragments from the head mechanism is usually sufficient to maintain optimal performance.
