Model B8 Plier Staples
This plier takes B8 PowerCrown staples. We stock B8 staples with a 1/4" leg for thinner jobs and B8 staples with a 3/8" leg for thick sets up to 45 sheets. Review what you staple most, then add a box of the right size to your order. It doesn't take STCR5019 staples, which fit the Bostitch P6C-8 plier instead.
How to Load the Bostitch Model B8 Plier
- Open the top of the plier.
- Drop in a full strip of B8 staples, legs pointing down.
- Close the top until it latches.
- Squeeze once on scrap paper to check the staple clinches flat.
Care, Maintenance and Troubleshooting
Keep the magazine free of paper dust and tape glue. If a staple sticks, open the top, take out the strip and remove the bent staple, then reload. If staples don't close flat, check that the stack isn't over 45 sheets and that you're using B8 staples in the right leg length.
Bostitch 02245 or a Desktop B8?
The 02245 is a plier, so it goes where the work is: bags, boxes and bundles. A desktop B8 stays on the desk. Both use the same B8 staples, so one box of staples covers both.
Why a B8 Plier for Heavy Daily Use
Plier staplers get squeezed hundreds of times a day in a busy shipping room or store. The all-metal Bostitch B8 stapler is built for that kind of use, and the anti-jam design means fewer stops to clear staples. A full 210-staple strip also means fewer reloads. Review how many staplers your team uses, and add one for each station so nobody has to share.
Why Buy From Staplers and Staples
- Same-day shipping on orders placed by 4:00 PM EST.
- In-house tool repair if your tool ever needs service.
- B8 staples in both leg lengths in stock, so the plier and staples ship together.
- Based in Sycamore, Illinois.
