These two design are good as when I bet anything with a normal whisk, I will have a lot of left over later and it is hard to clean. Many time I have to redo a staple by trying to push it straight down, hard but not to slow or fast and failing again. On the outside, the stapler looks just like the old-fashioned kind, but inside it has a different design. Pushing down on the top compress a spring. Then, the spring releases all the energy at once, and the staple shoots into the paper.(SO MUCH BETTER!)
