The Q-Connect Paper Fastener 17mm (KF02028Q) is designed for administrative professionals, students, and home office users who need a robust, manual method to organize and secure document bundles. Its primary benefit is the combination of a sharp, piercing tip and durable metal construction, which ensures documents stay fastened under frequent handling. One caveat is that these fasteners are best suited for documents that do not require frequent reorganizing, as the manual bending of the metal prongs can cause wear on paper edges over time.

Yes, the sharp tips are specifically designed to pierce through unpunched paper, though a hole punch can make the process easier for thick stacks.
These fasteners have a capacity of 17mm, which typically accommodates a significant stack of standard 80gsm office paper.
While they can be straightened and reused, the metal will eventually weaken and snap with repeated bending.
They are organized into 10 individual packs, each containing 80 fasteners.
Yes, they are fully compatible with standard filing hole spacing.
Ensure the stack is aligned correctly and verify the number of pages does not exceed the 17mm clearance.
Avoid bending the prongs back and forth repeatedly; aim for a single firm fold to preserve metal integrity.
To use the Q-Connect fasteners, simply align your pages, push the sharp points through the punched holes or directly through the paper stack, and fold the metal prongs outward in opposite directions. These fasteners are compatible with all standard 2-hole or 4-hole punch patterns. For storage, keep the individual packs in a cool, dry place to prevent moisture exposure, which could eventually lead to metal oxidation. If the fasteners become difficult to fold, check that you are not exceeding the 17mm threshold, as overfilling the capacity will put stress on the metal and lead to premature fatigue.
