They’re going to steal this in a heartbeat, so lock it in your desk. The PaperPro is the first engineering breakthrough in staplers since, well, the stapler. Push it with one finger’s worth of effort and a spring-loaded mechanism (like a center punch) drives the staple with 30 lbs of force through up to (20) sheets of paper. Doesn’t even feel like it stapled, but it’s foolproof. Use as a hand-held or desk stapler. Stands on end to save space. Opens for use as a staple gun, and with as much power. Takes standard 26/6 staples and comes with (1) rack of them. Measures 7” long x 3-7/8” x 1-1/2” wide, in sleek assorted colors. 

Our most Scandinavian tape dispenser ever is in gray and fashionable lime green. Looks like a designer hockey-puck, but pop up the cutter and it's a tape dispenser with "Søren®" discretely printed on the non-green side. Measures about 3" dia x 1-1/2" thick, and dispenses 3/4" tape.

You could bind the London phone book with these clips, if anyone still used phone books. In white enameled steel, the jaws are 2-3/8" with 2" jaws and 5-1/2" long handles. Also work as stands for place cards, hooks for hanging purses off the edge of tables or hanging wet children out to dry on clotheslines.

Lesser file folders for smaller projects. In recycled plastic, they measure 8" x 9" with (5) tabbed 8-3/4" x 6" sleeves with stickers to mark them, a business card sleeve, pen slot, ruled 30-page 6-3/4" x 5" notepad and an elastic loop closure on the front. You pick green, tan or translucent white.

Nothing we like better than multitasking multitools. This office tool is a hand-held stapler with a 1/2" tape dispenser on the top and a page-tab dispenser (the editor's friend) on the other side of the top. Measures 6" long. The tabs are standard 3M tape-flags and it takes standard 1/2" staples however the tape is on the small side and extra rolls are difficult to find. 

The Free Writer Fluid Roller says so. We'll send you a 3-pack of these fluid babies, (1) each in red, black and blue with matching red, black and blue ink so you don't get confused. All with removable caps with clips, and 0.7mm tips.

This 360-degree protractor from Helix® measures 6" dia and has 10-degree gradations on the inside and 1/2-degree on the outer ring, as mirror images of each other. In blue translucent plastic, it also folds in half when trigonometry class is over.

Scissoring has never been more exciting than with these 6" stainless steel snippers printed with either a rose pattern or license plate graphics right on the blades. From Maped, these "Tatoo" scissors have color-coordinated padded handles, which adds to the fashion-forwardness. Just don't put them down on a license plate or a bed of roses or you may never find them. We'll pick a design because we know best, really.

The digits are your fingers, and you personally use them to keep track of everything in this compact Mead® day planner, dubbed the "Fat Planner," which never has to be recharged or turned off in class because it's spiral-bound paper inside a nice portfolio with a zipper around three sides. In assorted colors (blue, green, black, red), they measure just 6" x 5-1/2" x 1-5/8" and have a calendar, class-schedule sheets, exam records and study sheets, a 50-page notepad and storage pockets. Plus you can slide a pen inside the binding. We'll pick a color for you because you've got enough to do.

Whatever auto manufacturer you think is super-fancy...PaperPro® is the "that" of staplers. In this combo package you'll get not only a compact 4-1/2" long spring-loaded stapler that could hardly be easier to use--even for multi-page stapling--but also a standard staple remover for those inadvertent attachments. We know--that'd be enough, but you'll also get a couple lengths of standard staples to get you started right away.

Uh, no, sorry--it’s a cover-up for your report. Plasticized back in assorted colors, clear front, and measures 11-3/8” x 9” with (3) holes with brads cleverly spaced exactly like three-hole punched paper. Coincidence? We don’t think so. Ought to hold up to (100) pages, as if anyone would read a report that long.

Mind your binders with these colorful three-ring versions, and unlike most of our binders these don’t have any misprints on them! You pick the sky blue binder with 1” D-rings, the Dodger blue (OK, royal blue) with 2” rings or the truly fetching chartreuse baby, also with 2” rings All measure 11-1/2” x 10-1/2”.

Says so right on the packaging. Measures (pun intended) 18” long x 1-1/2” wide. Has 1/32” increments for the first inch, then 1/16” on one edge and 0-45cm in 1mm increments on the other. Made in England of blue-tinted translucent plastic. (There is no legal penalty for using it at home or in a school.)

A CPA for cooking your books? No, just a basic calculator made out of floppy black rubber so you can bend it, shape it, any way you want it. Stick it in your pocket , it's all right. Measures 6” x 3-3/4” with a button-cell battery and a back-up solar cell. Answers in a 2-1/8” long LCD. Made in Germany, where they know their numbers.

Inside a two-tone folding pouch is a small, 28-page lined notebook and an 8-digit calculator with percent and square-root functions. Perfect for the traveling investigative auditor. Calculator is powered by a small solar cell. The whole shebang measures 5-1/4” x 3-1/4” x 1/2” thick with a little tab to hold a pencil that isn’t there. Made in Germany, where they keep track of everything, and yes, the calculator slides right out.

Cheap, too. Our each is (12) 0.7mm mechanical pencils from Viking with rubberized easy-grip barrels, removable erasers, and a retracting mechanism that puts the pointy lead sleeve inside the barrel so you don’t punch holes in the bottom of your shirt pockets. Each comes with (3) leads.

From what mind sprang these pencil sharpener/erasers that look exactly like auto wheels and tires, we could only guess, but we won’t because we just work here. You’ll get (2) black eraser tires on grey wheels that conceal pencil sharpeners. The peelings stay in the wheel hubs until you empty them. Measure 2-5/8" dia x 7/8" thick. 

The original genuine real signature classics from 3M, 3” square in that familiar yellow, just in smaller pads than usual. Our each is a staggering (28) pads with (16) notes in each. Think about it--that’s enough for an entire classroom.
