Rapesco's 'Marlin Long Arm Metal Stapler with 300 mm Reach and 25 Sheet Capacity uses Staples 24 and 26/6 mm - Black' uses the top section of their standard Marlin stapler as the operational portion of this extended-reach version. Its base and the top mount are both elongated to provide a total reach of 300mm (12-inches), sufficient for A3 paper. There is a calibrated paper stop set in 5mm invervals commencing from 15cm down one side and inch equivalents down the other that can be adjusted to fit (as closely as possible) the centre-line of a wide variety of paper sizes for stitch-stapling two or more times down the eventual fold. Booklets can be later trimmed for neatness,

In practical terms, this is effectively a Rapesco Bowfin Stapler which has been bolted onto the end of a long arm. Having never owned one of these staplers until recently, I was keen to give it a try, because there have been occasions in the past when this would have been really useful (for making booklets etc) but when I was forced to "make do and mend." This would have been, of course, back in the day when staplers such as these would have cost a small fortune and it simply wouldn't have been justifiable to spend such a large amount of money on something which would be used relatively infrequently.As with all Rapesco products which I have had the opportunity to trial recently,

This is a basic, though competent, home or office stapler, mounted on a frame that provides the space (and a rule) to allow you to staple up to 300mm (12”) into a sheet, or sheets, of paper. That means you can staple and fold into a booklet any paper size up to A1.The stapler, the important parts of which are all metal, is capable of putting either 24/6 or 26/6 staples (the latter are the most common for general use) through as many as 25 sheets of 80gsm paper. With the spring-loaded anvil rotated accordingly, it will also ‘pin’ up to the same number of sheets – which is quite something, as many staplers will not pin as many sheets as they will staple (without bending the staple).An adjustable

Rapesco 1464 "MARLIN" Long Arm Office Stapler in BLACKThere is a HUGE range of Staplers out there, from the very tiny to the very heavy duty industrial type. So, where does this model by Rapesco fit? For me it is suitable for home/student/home office/commercial office.• The presentation is just a bland brown cardboard box. There is no information on it and there are no instructions with the Stapler. I find surprising for such a renowned brand and a bit disappointing.• Out of the box, the Stapler feels like a reasonable quality product. It is made up of a mix of metal and plastic, with a black matte finish.• It has a smooth action and no effort is needed.

As I now expect from Rapesco, the Marlin Long Arm is a very solid and substantial product. It staples through 25 sheets with no problems and is sturdy and reliable. For creating booklets and stapling in the centre of A4, A3 etc sheets, it is more than adequate. I already know that the Marlin is a good stapler and this model sits the top half on a long, springy arm with a sliding stopper for setting the position on the paper. The arm has a scale on either side for centimetres and inches. It loads easily from the top like a traditional stapler by lifting the top of the body. The anvil is very easy to push up and rotate, for open and closed staples.The base is mostly metal but has hard plastic in contact with the desk at either end.

This is a really good stapler to have although it's uses might be rather more specialised than most products of this kind.It's function is fairly obvious; it enables stapling across the width of the paper, with a precise, calibrated guide on the base-plate and a 25 sheet capacity which means you can staple your own documents to create booklets etc.My stapler came with a complimentary box of 5000 26/6mm staples so I could try it out properly, but it was pre-loaded with a cartridge already in the magazine; the Marlin is front-loading with a pull-down magazine and is easy to access. Like all the Rapesco staplers I have reviewed,

This long arm stapler is basically a "normal" Rapesco staple machine mounted on a very long arm, so it is not super heavy duty - but will handle 20 sheets easily. Most of the machine is plastic with a metal upper body on the stapler itself. It takes a short strip of staples, toploaded, in the most commonly used size 26/6mm and in this package a box of 5000 is included. There is a measure along the long arm with inches and cms, rather hard to read as it is black on black. A sliding bar allows you to set the distance you wish to staple in, but being all plastic it can move easily so recheck the position for each bundle you do. You can swivel the stapling pad to do normal stapling or spread the staple wide,

I often need to produce small quantities of written information printed from my word processor in 2 columns on A4 sheets folded to A5 size for stapling. I’ve long struggled, and now it is so easy with this Rapesco long arm stapler. It is even possible to staple A3 sheets folded to A4, and it takes standard 24/6 and 26/6 staples. A box of 5,000 staples is provided, and the stapler comes fully loaded.Overall the stapler is 15 inches long and its upper arm is calibrated to indicate inches and cm. Extension jaws have a spring hinged connection at the pivot end, and there is support by an intermediate marker cum paper stop. At the open working end is a fairly traditional stapler to load staples and then do the job.

Review of Rapesco 1464 Marlin Long Arm Stapler with 26/6 mm Staples B/5000, Black - BundleThis is a good value stapler that can deal with large sizes of paper and get your staples just in the right place for making booklets. You can make a booklet out of folded A4, A3 or even A2. It just takes a little bit of maths to work out where to move the guide along the measure. I would have given it 5 stars if it had markings for different paper sizes to save me that bit of effort. It seems sturdy, works well, and it's useful that it comes with staples. However I've just checked how much the staples are currently on Amazon and it says 92p... whereas the difference between this stapler on its own (£8.49)

This product is very similar to the Manta Ray model, also available on Amazon, but this Marlin is superior.This long arm stapler isn't just about attaching papers together, but because you can slide papers down into its long arm you can for example put staples in the middle of sheets of A4 making an A5 booklet. This model has a greater use of metal in the construction making it, potentially more rugged and long lasting. It will also take more paper in one shot, in this case up to 25 sheets of 80g paper. Like its cheaper brother, you can set the depth of stapling so that you can repeatedly put staples in the same place and the head of the staple gun pulls back 180 degrees for reloading.

This is a handy tool to have in any office or home-office. I tend to produce A5 booklets now and again for a local charity or for my own use and I just use A4 sheets folded in half then stapled in the middle. You need a stapler like this to be able to do it. There’s a measuring guide on the arm of the machine which is good for getting it in position, but my advice is to practice on some blank paper first then mark the stapler with a piece of tape or a white marker at the exact point. It saves time later. The machine uses two types of staples and comes with a box of 5000 to keep you going. It can also handle 25 sheets at a time. The top loading stapling head allows a 300mm stapling depth,

The Rapesco Marlin ‘Long Arm’ Stapler is a good quality and reasonably heavy-duty stapler that offers a very impressive reach for stapling.The staplers are absolutely ideal for creating booklets and the like with – as they offer more than enough reach to be able to staple down the spine of A4 and A3 sized booklets.The stapler end itself is your usual Rapesco stapler. We’ve found that these can staple through a good 20 or so pages and a moderately thick paper cover without any fuss at all.We’ve also found that the spring-loaded mechanism inside very rarely jams when in use, and it can handle a large amount of use without any problems (we had to staple 200+ booklets over a weekend and found the

This is the stapler to use for making booklets when a normal stapler is not long enough to reach to the centre fold. This stapler is much longer than you'd need for an A5 booklet, but the extra length is helpful to maneuverer your papers. The long arm part has a centimetre and inch scale, but this does not cover the stapler head, so is of limited value in my opinion. The stapler has a useful 'rest', you can use this to line the papers up and ensure all staples go in the same place on your papers.Of course you can use it for normal stapling jobs, but it is quite long so needs space to be stored. It will fit in an under desk office draw if its full desk width,

As a teacher, I'm often making little booklets or exam papers for my students. For years, whenever the photocopier couldn't do the job, I'd make them myself and staple the corners. And then I got fed up and bought one of these. Now I make booklets properly, and these just help add that layer of professional looking quality to what I give to my students. They're strong and reliable, and work for both A5 and A4. When reviewing a different stapler, I stated that that these were quite comfortable to use even after stapling a lot but suggested an electric stapler would be worth the investment if you are stapling often. It's more difficult to get an electric replacement for something like this,
