1983 Hohner Favorite Stapler A classic German-built electric/mechanical staple machine (wire pin machine) designed for blocks, staples and boxes. German Hohner is the gold standard in the founding services for printing, and the Favorite model was an extremely popular working horse in the 80s and the 90s. The machine uses either finished pins or staples from reels (depending on the exact head type) and is known for its raw power, simple pedal control and insatiable mechanics.
