Can anyone recommend a decent electric (paper) stapler? Maplin used to
have cheapish ones but finally I got fed up taking them apart to repair
jams. And it's embarassing to know that I gave them as presents to a
number of people.


I use a very cheap battery stapler that came from Netto. It's totally
reliable, as long as you don't try to staple too many sheets. Five is
about the maximum, and forget card.

There are mains electric staplers used in printing business that are
very robust and reliable, if expensive.
