Abstract
A magnetically detachable stapler device is provided that utilizes a bottom housing having a first magnetic coupling element. The first magnetic coupling element utilizes a first low friction material layer disposed thereupon. The stapler device utilizes a top housing having a coupling base structure, a magazine and a hammer. At least one of the top housing, the magazine and the hammer moves relative the coupling base structure. The coupling base structure utilizes a second magnetic coupling element which itself has a second low friction material layer disposed thereupon.
