I probably could have avoided catching my thumb in the jaws of a stapler not just once, but twice as a child-and trust me, kids, you do not want to try this at home-if I had in my then-possession a staple-free stapler. Rather than use tiny yet lethal pieces of metal to secure paper, the staple-free stapler punches small flaps and bends them to bind the pages together.

The staple-free stapler certainly has its downsides: Don't expect to be able to fasten more than a few sheets of paper, for one. Still, you never have to scramble for refill staples-and, unless you try very, very hard, you're unlikely to end up with a bloody appendage.

You can find these staple-eschewing contraptions on sites such as ThinkGeek, UncommonGoods, and Wrapables.
