Term for a stapler in which two staples have jammed at the dispensing end. Can be a condition of improperly loaded staples, such as those broken into units too small to use effectively, or those suffering from staple rot. Solution often requires the user negating all other productivity to remove the tangled staples, oftentimes resulting in a less-than-functional device when the procedure is completed.
