近年來碳纖維材料無孔不入，已經滲入到許多從未涉及過的領域。雖然，它的黑色編織樣式看起來很適合用作鼠標墊，但是如此輕型的材質應該用于真正需要的領域，比如高性能賽車、任何航空航天工業制品、以及辦公用品——尤其是辦公用品。



　　 與其說質疑一款碳纖維外殼的訂書機是否值80美元，倒不如先問問自己這些年能否在沒有訂書機的情況下保持高效的工作。真相是，你可能曾經差點兒因為費勁地用過時的（以及過重的）Swingline訂書機裝訂文件而被開除。而這款碳纖維訂書機可以輕松穿透15張紙，并且在一天工作后，不會因為裝訂文件而手臂酸痛。



A Carbon Fiber Stapler Is Definitely More Lustworthy Than a Swingline

　　 In recent years carbon fiber has developed a nasty habit of turning up in places it really doesn't belong. Its woven black finish might look neat on a mousepad, but the ultralight material should stick to places it really belongs like on high-performance race cars, in any product coming from the aerospace industry, and office supplies—definitely office supplies.

　　 Instead of asking yourself if a carbon fiber-covered stapler is worth $80, you should be asking yourself how you've managed to stay productive at work all these years without one on your desk. The truth is, you've probably been on the brink of being fired while you struggled to staple document after document using an antiquated (and needlessly heavy) Swingline model. This beast can chomp through a stack of 15 sheets with ease, and come the end of the day you won't find yourself heading home with painful stapler's arm.
