Kokuyo Harinacs Stapleless Stapler, Large Desktop Staple Free Stapler, 12 Sheet Capacity, Black, Japan Import (SLN-MS112D)

First, I acknowledge that, as other reviewers have stated, the instructions are only in Japanese. However, these instructions come with diagrams, which will be sufficient for most users. And, let's also consider whether-and-when a product created for a market in one country should be dinged for not providing instructions in the language of another. I am glad to be able to get this device, even though the Japanese did not create it with me in-mind.This staple-less stapler is essentially a descendent of the Bump staple-less stapler (invented by American George P[endleton] Bump, 14 May 1870 – 19 Feb 1947); it cuts tabs and slits into the papers, and then folds and feeds the tabs through the slits. Generally, this method creates a more reliable attachment than that of crimping papers together, as do some staple-less staplers for five sheets or fewer. Unlike the Bump device, this device creates tabs with flanged heads, making the attachment a bit more secure.The producer makes a number of staple-less staplers, some of which crimp and others of which use the Bump method. This particular model seems to be their high-end device, with a slightly higher capacity and conceived to make it easier to produce results of professional quality. If you can survive only able to attach ten-or-fewer sheets, and are unconcerned about precisely placing the attachment, then you can save some money by getting a different model; but both stationery geeks and supermodels will sneer at you.

This product is good, but there should have been an instruction sheet in English, not Japanese, if they are selling this item in the USA.

This is a high-quality stapleless stapler, but in terms holding the sheets of paper together, the staplers that use the metal binder is more solid.

use google lens AI on your camera for the japanese language instructions and they will translate in speak to you. then it 's no longer a problem!

Staples are messy but this device cuts a permanent piece out of each page, and it is virtually impossible to take the pages apart and then reassemble and fasten then again, am returning

Does what it says ! It was bigger than I expected but still fits on my desk obviously, it feels hefty in a good way. The instructions and everything are all in Japanese so I used google translate to get an idea of what it all says. I attached my scans :)

Directions come in Japanese and I'm sure there's things I'm missing about this product because I don't fully understand it. However, it is super durable, and does a decent amount of papers. It's perfect for my needs as I needed a way to adhere papers together without metal. It also seems sturdy enough to not break and can last.

Well made stapler. I can’t read the instructions on it because they are in Japanese? My coworkers are amused by it. It holds ok, not the strongest hold, but hey if I wanted that I would have purchased a regular stapler.
