Product Information

Full details

The Rapid FM12 Black Stapler is designed for everyday stapling needs at home, in the office, or at school, offering a robust and comfortable stapling experience for up to 25 sheets of paper. Its all-metal construction with ergonomic rubber accents ensures durability and ease of use, though its half-strip capacity means more frequent refilling for high-volume tasks. Key features include tacking and pinning functions via an adjustable anvil, and a top-loading mechanism for quick staple refills.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

What type of staples does the Rapid FM12 use?

The Rapid FM12 is compatible with Rapid 24/6 and Rapid 26/6mm strong staples.

What is the maximum number of sheets I can staple?

This stapler can staple up to 25 sheets of 80gsm paper at once.

Can this stapler do more than just staple?

Yes, the adjustable anvil allows for stapling, pinning, and tacking functions.

How do I refill the staples?

It features a quick and easy top-loading staple refill mechanism. Simply slide open the top magazine, insert new staples, and close it.

What is the warranty period?

The stapler comes with a 5-year guarantee when using Rapid staples.

What are the dimensions of the stapler?

The dimensions are approximately 43mm (Width) x 56mm (Height) x 138mm (Depth).

Is this stapler suitable for heavy-duty use?

It is a robust all-metal stapler suitable for everyday use in home, office, or school environments. For very high-volume stapling, a full-strip model might be more convenient due to less frequent refilling.

Troubleshooting

Stapler jams frequently

Ensure you are using the correct Rapid 24/6 or 26/6mm staples. Check for any bent or misaligned staples in the magazine and clear them. Ensure the staple magazine is properly closed and the stapler is clean.

Staples do not go through all sheets

Verify that the number of sheets does not exceed the 25-sheet capacity. If stapling near the edge of the paper, ensure it's within the 50mm insertion depth.

Staples do not clinch properly

Check the adjustable anvil. If set to 'stapling', ensure it is properly aligned. If using 'pinning' or 'tacking' mode, ensure the anvil is set to the correct position for these functions.

Stapler feels stiff or difficult to operate

Clean the internal mechanism gently and ensure no foreign objects are obstructing movement. Check that staples are loaded correctly.

  • Ergonomic design with rubber grip enhances comfort and control.
  • Versatile tacking and pinning functions add extra utility.
  • Quick and easy top-loading staple refill system.
  • Compact and space-saving design.

Cons

  • Half-strip design requires more frequent staple refills than full-strip models.
  • Maximum capacity of 25 sheets may be insufficient for very large documents.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:
