Image Description: Sure, this picture may give us a look at nothing more than a run of the mill stapler, but don’t let its simplicity fool you; the stapler is easily one of the most valuable office tools ever invented! Originally invented in the 18th century, the stapler was first used as an easy method of combining documents - even thick manuscripts - during an age when binding was both difficult and expensive. Early staplers worked in various ways, with most of them likely being unrecognizable to us today, and the more modern stapler - call a “four way” - wasn’t introduced until 1941. Since that time, it has become a popular tool for not only office workers, but woodworkers as well.
