I bought these because I was undergoing a huge paperwork digitizing project. We’re talking thousands of documents from up to 20 years ago having to be scanned.That meant a lot of staples to be removed. This trusty tool got me through it – the design is absolutely ergonomic, despite using it for a high volume of staples, my hand did not get sore or tired.The staples stick to the magnet most of the time (not all) and when you get the hang of it you can move pretty quickly.Recommend!
