I should start by saying what I want it for.
I grow fruit trees as a bit of an interest. They are in these perfect sized buckets-maybe about 8 litre size, well made and quite strong plastic. I have not been able to source anymore.
If the time comes when I want to move these trees on, be it donating or flogging then, I want to retain these ideal buckets to continue using them over again.
It occurred to me that I could make some bucket shaped containers out of strong cardboard, for when the time comes to move the trees on. A plastic bucket could be like the mold to fold the cardboard around.
So, I just need a decent stapler that uses staples that are long & strong enough to easily go through thick cardboard, just like the staples used in some of the boxes. The staples I have seen holding boxes together are usually copper coloured, but I don't think they are made of copper. Probably just a coating to stop them rusting.
The boxes are probably made on a production line. I just want a hand held stapler if that will suffice. Thanks.
