So I just ordered a tiny attacher after seeing so many of my fave scrappers use one... Why do I still feel I've spent 20 bucks on a little stapler... ???  | |

Well it is just a tiny stapler but, it's a great one! I resisted for a long time and just received one for Christmas. Somehow I've used it every time I've scrapped since then |

I think the layouts I've seen online w/ staples look cute, but having lived in Hawaii most of my life I have seen what high humidity does to metal... I do not want my scrapbooks full of rust someday! | |

I got one a few months ago and I LOVE it for PL. I also found out recently that wood veneers can be stapled. Can't wait to try that. |

Thanks everyone - feeling a bit happier about my purchase. It's a very cute tool, I just don't want it to be a one minute wonder but from what you are saying it will be a sound investment. I love that you can use it on wood veneers...  | |

I thought this was a rediculous thing, then bought one after seeing so many people talking about how much they loved it. I got mine with a 40% off coupon and LOVE it! So do my girls.

I even paid full price for mine and it was totally worth it. Yes, it is a tiny stapler. It doesn't even have a particularly long reach. Hell, from time to time it jams.
But darn if that thing can't attach ANYTHING to a page! Embellishments I used to shy away from because I couldn't figure out how to attach them... gone are the days of avoiding them. Come at me, bits of metal, even vellum when the adhesive can't be covered up. | |

Well, it IS "just" a stapler but a good one! I do hope to get an extra one on my annual trip to the "big" city this year. Every year I go, I get extra packages of staples. I want to make sure I've got a good stockpile for when they decide to discontinue it.
I DO wish they'd make one with a longer reach, yes, I do know the tricks for that but it would be EASIER if they'd make a "Big Bite" version of it! You know, like the Big Bite is the long reach version of the Cropadile. |

I feel a purchase coming on.... but I have a few questions:
Will it attach chipboard?
Metal?
Wood veneer pieces?
Slightly thick plastic/acetate?

I was another person who fought jumping on the tiny attacher train, but I used it at a crop - and loved it.
Yes, it *is* a tiny stapler, but that tininess is what makes it so appealing to me. Those little staples are cute!
I used mine most often to affix a small bow, ribbon, or other embellishment.
edited to clarify: USE not useD

I know the feeling.. I stayed away for that same reason a high priced stapler! But seriously when I got it from ms with a 40% off coupon I was in love with how tiny the staples are and how much cuter they look! I'm glad I bought one! |

Well, thanks to this thread and the other recent one about the Tiny Attacher, I now have one on its way to me. I also order the pack of 1550 refill staples because I needed to add more to my cart to get free shipping, so I hope I reeeeaaally love this thing! | |

I got mine yesterday for half off at Michael's -- they let me use a JoAnn's coupon. So it was $8 plus tax. So eager to try it!
I thought it was like a mini stapler, but it's even smaller than that. | |

J's has a 50% coupon you can print online from their site. Take it to M's and buy the tiny attacher for half the cost. Just a thought. |

I wish I could get a deal like that! It's pretty inconvenient for me to get to one of those stores, so I order just about everything online. J's had a sale on it, but it was only a few dollars off, so I just bought it from Two Peas because I already had close to enough to get free shipping. Oh well, I think with all the perks I get from Two Peas I'm okay with paying a little more. | |

I think it's a must have tool. Years ago I passed on one I found in the clearance bin. I was trying to be "good" and not buy stuff on impulse. For once I wish I had given in and spent the $4! I did end up buying one for 50%, but it wasn't like paying $4 and yelling, "Score!"
Glad you were able to get one. Enjoy! |
