Swingline LightDuty 405 Metal Stapler

The Swingline LightDuty 405 is a manual desktop stapler built with all-metal construction for everyday office tasks. It fastens up to 20 sheets of paper per staple and holds a full strip of 210 standard staples. A low-staple indicator signals when a refill is needed. The top-load design allows quick reloading by lifting the spring-loaded lid.

Manual operation with zero power draw

This stapler requires no electricity, batteries or compressed air, so it produces no heat, no fan noise and draws no power during use. The all-metal frame absorbs the impact of each staple without vibration. Its compact 6.2 by 1.8 by 2.2 inch footprint sits quietly on a desk and weighs only 0.06 pounds. Operation is completely silent aside from the mechanical click.

Opens for tacking and pinning

Lifting the top section converts the stapler into a tacker for attaching papers to bulletin boards. Reversing the anvil changes the staple clinch from a permanent bend to a straight pin for temporary fastening. The mechanism works best with Swingline S.F. 4 Premium Staples, which have 1/4 inch legs. No additional accessories or software are included beyond the stapler itself.

Questions about this item

How do I load staples into the Swingline S7040501, and what step do people often miss?

Pull the spring-loaded lid straight up until it locks open, drop in a full strip of 210 standard 1/4-inch leg staples, then press the lid down until it clicks — skipping the click leaves the magazine loose and causes misfires.

What part will need replacement first on the LightDuty 405?

Only the staple strips wear out; the all-metal frame and spring-loaded lid have no user-replaceable components, so you simply reload 210-count strips when the low-staple indicator shows empty.

What limit appears first during a long stapling session with the S7040501?

The 20-sheet maximum per staple is the hard stop — forcing thicker stacks jams the mechanism even though the jam-free claim covers normal use.
