stapler
This term refers to the physical tool rather than the fasteners themselves. In an office setting, it typically describes the handheld device used for paper, while in construction or upholstery, it refers to heavy-duty pneumatic or electric tools.
Users should distinguish between the stapler (the device) and the staples (the metal pins). A common error is using the word to describe the act of fastening, whereas the verb "staple" should be used for the action.
