Hole punches and staplers in the office: Which size is worth it?
Office Supplies Guide
Paper punches and staplers in the office: What size is worthwhile?
For a normal desk, standard paper punches and staplers are usually sufficient. For administration, reception, accounting, or larger document volumes, more powerful models are worthwhile.
Paper punches and staplers are office supplies that only become noticeable when they are missing or don't fit the task. Regularly stapling, punching, and filing documents can save a lot of time and hassle with the right size.

Short Answer
Compact standard paper punches and staplers are suitable for individual workstations. For larger stacks, daily use, or central filing, heavy-duty staplers, heavy-duty paper punches, or robust office equipment are more sensible.
Why the right size matters
A paper punch or stapler that is too small may seem inexpensive at first, but quickly becomes impractical with frequent use. If stacks have to be divided multiple times or staplings don't hold properly, it costs time in everyday office life.
