I use the staples in a Bostitch 100CSP Mini Standard Stapler that I have had for about twenty years. While the strips of staples are shorter in length than those in a regular box of staples, they are too long for the stapler that I have. Looking at the box, the length of a strip is the longest width. My previous box of staples was the same size box, but the length of the strips was the shorter width. which fit the stapler perfectly. I need to break off part of a strip to fit in my stapler, but that is easy enough to do. The height of a staple is the same as a standard staple, so the same number of sheets can be stapled together as if using a full size stapler. If I had know that the strip of staples would be too long, I would have purchased a regular box of staples which has five times as many staples at a lower cost.
