How to Load Staples Into a Sears Craftsman Stapler Model 6843

The Craftsman 6843 is a manual stapler with a spring-loaded trigger handle sold by Sears. As with other hand-held stapler models, the 6843 presses against a flat surface. Squeezing the trigger handle drives one staple into the surface material. Staples are sold in strips that load into the underside of the 6843 model. The stapler can fire staple strips ranging in size from 1/4 to 9/16 inch in width. Loading a new strip of staples takes less than a minute.
