Stanley Bostitch, previously and more commonly known as simply Bostitch, is an American company that specializes in the design and manufacture of fastening tools (such as staplers, staple guns, nailers, riveters, and glue guns) and fasteners (such as nails, screws, and staples).

Its product range covers home, office, like the pencil sharpener, construction and industrial uses, like the power tool.

[2][3] Bostitch was founded in Arlington, Massachusetts in 1896 by Thomas Briggs as the Boston Wire Stitcher Company.

However, in 1914, the company introduced its first "portable stapling machine", the Model AO,[5] considered an ancestor of the modern desk stapler.

[9] During World War II, the company joined five other firms to form the New England Small Arms Corporation for manufacture of M1918 Browning Automatic Rifles.
