Long-Reach Staplers, Tested on a Kitchen Table

We bought four long-reach staplers, stapled a ream of zines with each, and filmed the last round.

We tested everything on the long table at print night, with real zines and real volunteers, not in a lab. Our criteria were simple: does it work, does it last, and does it hurt to use for an hour.

Nothing here is sponsored. We paid for all of it, and some of it we paid for twice because the first one broke.
