Anyone knows the name of a "coin 2 x 2 staple clapper"?

I am not sure what the correct name of this item is...but it is used to clamp the staples on the 2 x 2's for one's coin collection. It looks like a hammer with a flat end that clamps down. I am looking for one on Amazon and forgot what it is actually called. If anyone knows a site or proper name for this item; it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

pliers?

 

Try "flat clinch"...

 

Why not just use a flat stack/flat clinch stapler? They sell tons of them at Staples.

After stapling I just flatten them with a tap of a hammer so they lay flat against the cardboard.

 

Wizard Coin Supply also sells a nice "mini flat clinch" stapler...it's cheap and works well. Although I sometimes still use pliers to really smash 'em down.

 

Everyone repeat after me............"flat cinch" stapler.

@Jason Hoffpauir , I think I know the type of stapler you're thinking of, but I don't think it flattens the prongs. I think it is used to staple material to bulletin boards, etc.

The best tool to use is a "flat cinch" stapler.

I'm too cheap to buy one, I just use a pair of needle-nose pliers.

 

I did, but then reality hit me...

Just one example of many...

Google "flat cinch" and see what happens.

 

I found them and have to be special-custom made. They will cost me $19.99 for one and here is a pic. The flat cinch pliers below is EXACTLY what I am looking for. It is made in Canada; just wish I could find a U.S. store that can make them for me.

 

This above, is included on the Google search for "flat cinch" stapler.

Nowadays, bosses can't spell any better than their employees.

Sorry, here are the rest of the pics. I don't like the staplers; the cinch pliers are more of what I was looking for.

 

Geez, Jason! That's a rip-off! You can get the flat cinch staplers for less than that at any Office Depot or Office Max.

Thanks, but the pics I included was exactly what I was looking for....they are just hard to find and most likely have to be custom made. I finally found someone and they are going to make (2) for me. I just have pay the postage. MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!!!!

 

Go to the dollar store and pay $1 for a pair of pliers as wide a as typical staple. It's cheap, exercises your hand, and has been the way to go for decades. You'll save some money for more coins.

 

Sorry man...I am getting 2 for 1 special and they are what I wanted. The flat cinch staplers are cool too; but not what I am looking for. Thanks for the information tho.

 

IT'S MY MONEY AND I WANT TO WASTE IT NOW!

Oh, well!

Chris

 

Not a reality I'll argue against, but in this case, "clinch" is commonly used, is not incorrect, and is quite reasonable.

Regular every day pliers, used across/against the staple, will provide the same result. It's certainly your choice though...

If you insist on such a contraption for such a simple job, why not go for the gold and save a few bucks as well?
