Mini stapler for portable use

The Swingline 79173 is a compact stapler designed for light-duty fastening at home, work or school. Its small frame fits easily into a bag or desk drawer for on-the-go tasks. The purple finish adds a bright colour to office supplies. It arrives new and ready to use.

Suits light everyday stapling; not for heavy volumes

This model handles up to 12 sheets per staple, making it suited for routine paperwork and school assignments. Buyers who need to fasten larger stacks or high volumes should look at a full-size desktop stapler. It uses standard 1/4-inch staples, so speciality or heavy-duty leg lengths are not supported.

12-sheet capacity with 1000 included staples

The decisive specification is the 12-sheet stapling capacity, which sets the limit for single-staple jobs. The unit comes pre-packed with 1000 standard staples so it works straight from the package. If your typical task exceeds this thickness, a higher-capacity model is required.
