Many staplers have an anvil in the form of a "pinning" or "stapling" switch. This allows a choice between bending out or in. The outward bent staples are easier to remove and are for temporary fastening "pinning". Most staplers are capable of stapling without the anvil to drive straight leg staples for tacking.
