Does it handle staples

Jennifer, it handles staples very well. I've also shredded a couple of credit cards, and it didn't hesitate. No sure if it'll do that as it get older/dull, but it's a great shredder at a good price!

Yes. And CD's with ease. Just wasn't happy not being a cross cut as advertised. But it works well.

Absolutely, I also pushed the envelope to shred 48 pages at once just to see if it would. It did but I wouldn't recommend it.

This stapler uses standard size staples. It doesn't have a very high capacity...only 25 or so, but normal staples fit. It's a great little stapler. I carry in my bag for work.

It uses normal staples. I just tried 30 sheets and it worked fine. Much more than that and there won't be much staple to bend over.

Yes it does and they are standard. This is a great stapler and will hold a large group of papers.

Yes, but I don't recommend it. Staples and paper clips don't go through the machine too easy. I am afraid by shredding these items repeatedly it would eventually ruin the blade.

Yes, it will work just fine with short staples. This Porter Cable stapler works very well.

It will not shoot staples. Know what length staples you need and buy a gun that will shoot those. This gun shoots brads, a small size with a little head. Up to 2 inchs long. Small amount of holding power, but good for places that might split out.

Mine did not arrive with staples. It took me a while to figure out that it takes the narrower version. I found them at ACE.

Yes. Shreds credit cards well and several pages at a time with staples. I have been well pleased with this shredder. Some of the reviews mentioned having problems with the motor over heating but you must remember to only run it for 3 minutes at a time then let it cool and you will have no problems.

Yes, this stapler does take standard staples. Approximately 1/2 a stick of staples fits each time.

It does not come with staple, however, it takes standard staples. This stapler is loud but work very well and has not jammed.

Hi DeannaAs best I can recall, this had been advertised as a heavy duty stapler.In fact, if you surf the net, you will find numerous retailers still calling it that, although the manufacturer seems to have abandoned this, in favor of stressing its "All Steel Construction".I suspect it will hold up fine for light work.Would you like to buy some staples?

Yes. It is. I order one from Staples and when it was delivered it was a small version. So I went on Amazon and found this one. It is perfect for our needs.

hello. this stapler will only accept 20 gauge staples with a 3/16" crown. the staples come in lengths up to 9/16". the stapler works well and has good power but staples must be ordered because they are not carried by home depot or lowes.

Yes it does. You just have to make sure when you stretch it open you need to push the "staple loading channel" back into place. But as long as you know that it's no problem at all.

The manual recommends removing paper clips and staples. It states that "the unit will cut staples but it is not recommended"
