The Stapler Test – Boston vs Swingline

I've had a Boston stapler in my office for several months now and just recently I found a classic Swingline in one of our storage rooms.  So if I'm going to make the switch, I must see which one has more power.... Check out the video.

Once I found the Swingline I instantly thought about one of my favorite movies OFFICE SPACE.  It's about a guy that hates his boss and every stereotype of the "office job" is in there and it's hilarious.

Milton is a character in this film and the office in the movie made the switch from Swingline staplers to Boston staplers.  Milton hated this and kept his Swingline hidden from the boss so he could staple in happiness without any binding.

So I grabbed a phone book and tested the power of these things.
