The Center Stapler is not the sort of thing that most people would require frequently, but on the odd occasion when you find yourself preparing a booklet or a card, you'll be wishing that you had this office supply at hand.
Regular staplers have hinges that stop you from inserting sheets too far. This makes it difficult to reach the middle of a standard letter-sized or A4 leaf that's been folded once down the middle. The solution is a fastener that can be separated from its base. Daehyun Kwon designed the Center Stapler to have a detachable bottom with a magnetized feature. This way, the Center Stapler can be aligned properly on either side of your paper stack for the easy reinforcing of the spine.
