STAPLE test

Since there are so many brands of staple in the market, decided to buy 4 back and try which is best value for money - Mythbuster style ;p

Meaning no punching of the same spot on the paper, using the same strength (I tried my best to) and the same stapler.

The brands which I tested are:- DOLPHIN, MAX, PLUS and KANGARO.

After the test, the VERDICT is:-

1) MAX and PLUS brand are comparable but MAX has a slight advantage, as the percentage of failure to staple (for the same number of 27 pages) is lower for MAX than Plus.

About 26-27 pages for both brands (MAX RM0.95 and Plus RM0.90).

2) Dolphin is the least as it can punched about 23 pages but looking at the price of RM0.60, being the cheapest there should be no reason to complain.

3) Kangaro can go for about 25 pages (RM0.75). Fairly reasonable for it's price.

FINAL VERDICT
I noticed MAX staples sell for cheaper at Popular bookstores and comes in special bundle price. So if you can get them at about RM0.60 - RM0.75 per box then it's worth it to buy MAX.

This is same for PLUS staples.

But if you don't really staple too many pages at one time, then go for Plus as Plus is usually cheaper than MAX (bundle and individual price).
