Stapleless stapler

soba

I'm coming to the end of a box of staples, and I want to try a stapleless stapler. I believe they cut through the sheets of paper, then fold them in a magical way to keep them together. Only problem being the price. I've looked on a few charity websites and they're available at a reasonable cost, but the postage can be over £3! I know being green isn't cheap but it all seems a bit excessive - over £6 for a stapler. Does anyone know if they're available in the shops - I've tried Staples, WH Smith and our local stationers but to no avail, also ebay.
Thanks,
soba

I'd buy a small stock of bulldog clips in various sizes...

INclined to agree with Martinpike on this, I have had a stapleless stapler before and it was crap, it just didnt work.

Saying that Id buy another if there was one that was recommended and WORKED properly. I think i got mine in Partners years ago if that helps any, but it was rubbish

A bit bulky for sending things in the post though.

Thanks everyone, I need to staple papers together at work. Already got paperclips, so I guess I'll use (and reuse) them.

Several on ebay for £3.99 + 1.50 postage = £5.49. Bit cheaper, but not much. Still, I guess you'd save on the cost of staples. Eventually.

What charity websites did you look at?

soba

Sorry, didn't mean charity websites, meant to say green websites - recycled stationery, that kind of thing.

Oh right ok, what website is that then? Wouldnt mind taking a look

The only one I can think of at the moment is www.ecozone.co.uk but I think they're even more expensive on there.
