Do staplers that actually work exist?

That can secure more than just 8 sheafs of paper?! It's driving me mad!

If you mean 8 sheets of paper yes they do. www.amazon.co.uk/Rapesco-R79026A3-Long-Arm-Stapler/dp/B000NLXGZ2?tag=mumsnetforu03-21

Of course they do, we have one in our office, big heavy thing. You need to search for heavy duty staplers.

Nope, and let me know if you find a printer that consistently works too.

These are great for larger numbers of sheets, cheaper and less bulky than heavy duty staplers and you can undo and reuse the clips easily too rapesco.com/products/rapesco-supaclip-40-see-dispenser-25-emoji-clips/

I've got one that's supposed to be heavy duty but it's rubbish. Sorry, I was being sarcastic when i said 8 sheets, I'm trying to staple documents thicker than that.

Oh thanks @EssentiallyDelighted I think this is the kind of thing I need!

I use one like this, as I often need to staple government/policy reports/large research papers etc:
