A good stapler is hard to find. Wait, is that a swingline. I know a guy who lost a red one. I hope the castle has fire insurance. (yeah, obscure reference, but it’s Thursday. It’s all I got.)
The best way that I have found to use a stapler is to go slow at first, let the staple cut through the first few pages (about 25% of the way) and then push hard and fast on the stapler to get through the rest of the pages. I am a draftsman and I have had to staple sets of drawings that are up to 200 sheets thick.
When I was a young lad in the Navy and was at my very first “duty” station, me and my cohorts would shoot staples with a hand action that resembled Chuck Connor’s (Lucas McCain) firing action in The Rifleman . This was in highly serious workplace located at Ft. Mead Md. back in the early ’70s.

Love it. I immediately thought of “Chuck” and “Brooklyn 99” where this would be completely normal office behaviour.

He cuts paper with a karate chop? That should be harder than severing a 2X4.

Forty pages needs one of those industrial strength staplers and you almost have to be a karate expert to use one.
