Bostitch

Bostitch is a brand of fasteners, staplers, and pneumatic tools that is widely associated with office and construction hardware. The name and technology originate from the late 19th century in the United States, when the company that produced the first modern stapling devices developed a method to bind materials with wire. The name Bostitch is linked to the original firm’s Boston origins and its wire-stitching innovation, and over time the brand expanded beyond simple staplers to a broader line of fasteners and tools.

Historically, Bostitch grew from its early stapling devices into a range of office and industrial fasteners, as well as hand tools and pneumatically powered equipment. The product scope has included desktop and heavy-duty staplers, various staples, nailers, brad and finish guns, and related accessories. The brand became known for reliability and durability in both home and professional settings, spanning applications from packaging and upholstery to carpentry and general construction.

Today, Bostitch is a brand owned by Stanley Black & Decker, integrated into its tools portfolio. Under this corporate ownership, Bostitch products are marketed worldwide and remain common in hardware stores, industrial supply outlets, and professional workshops. The brand continues to emphasize practical, user-friendly tools and compatible fasteners for a range of framing, finishing, and fastening tasks.
