Introduction

If your stapler isn’t stapling, then there’s a good chance the spring is damaged. This guide's purpose is to assist users in replacing the stapler spring.

If you don’t replace the spring yourself, you’ll either have a broken stapler cluttering up your work space or will end up buying a new stapler altogether.

Before using this guide, check to see if the spring itself is damaged. Another possibility of a stapler not working is a staple jam. Be careful when handling the stapler, since it’s possible to staple yourself. We recommend that you empty the staples beforehand.

    • Open the stapler by gripping the handle to access the spring.

    • Pry open the hook found on the pusher using the tweezers.

    • Hold the handle firmly to prevent the stapler from snapping back.

  3. 5xyJQOomw1HnPUIZ

    • Unhook the end of the spring from the pusher.

    • Pinch the spring firmly between your fingers to keep it from snapping back.

    • Unhook the other end of the spring from the inside of the handle.

    • The spring should be unthreaded from the holes on the handle's metal part.

    • Push the hammer, the rectangular piece, up and away from the metal part.

  7. XnMNsIYPXwYGBFgV

    • Release the metal part inside the handle so it comes away from the hammer.

    • Keep hold of the metal part to keep it from snapping closed.

    A side picture would be even better here, so the user could see the process more in detail.
