Reversible Stapler Plates

Fun fact: the metal plate on your stapler, which helps the pins turn inwards when we staple, is called an anvil. While knowing this little part’s name may be of little use to us, the piece itself can be a stapling game changer.

If we turn the stapler upside down, the anvil can be adjusted by turning it 180 degrees. This will help us set it so that when we push on it, the arms of the staple wire will turn outwards, thus creating a temporary staple that can be easily removed if needed. It’s definitely a good trick to know, especially for office people.
