What machine is a stapler?

A stapler is a mechanical device used to fasten together sheets of paper by driving a metal clasp, or staple, through the sheets and folding the ends over the paper to secure them. It typically consists of a base, a handle, and a magazine that holds the staples. Staplers can be manual or electric, with manual versions relying on hand pressure to operate, while electric models automate the stapling process. They are commonly used in offices, schools, and homes for organizing documents.
