Staple Sans Staples

A sound staple solutionAmong life’s little annoyances at the office: working next to motormouth who won’t stop talking about her cat and running out of staples when you most need one. Can’t help you with the former, but you can take care of the latter with the staple-free stapler. It’s great for binding up to five pieces of paper and works by cutting out a small strip through the pages and then stitching them together. $6.95, wrapables.com

I have this little gadget. Even though it sounds like a cool idea, there's a few problems with it. 1) The "staple" is just a fancy fold of paper. 2) Cannot "staple" more than a few pages, like 2 or 3 3) The "staple" comes apart easily. After being in a stack with other papers, the staple unfolded itself. Since the fold was made with a fancy little doodad, you can't put it back together. At least not without a lot of effort. So, if you only need to staple a few pages and you don't need to move them around, then go for it.
