DESIGN & ERGONOMICS
Far more elegant and compact than a generic long-arm stapler. The guide markings and fully opening top are thoughtful workflow details for small-run booklet makers.

Steel working structure should last well with No.10 staples; service is basic manual cleaning and avoiding incorrect staple sizes.
