I have a Staple's branded stapler - takes the full size of a  
rack of staples - and the spring loading makes for power-like  
action.

The one and only Staples branded hub is Out of Stock.  :(

The Staples 7-Port USB 2.0 Hub - $19.99

Looked like a great choice.

But I think I will go for this one:

https://www.staples.ca/products/47869-en-aluratek-7-port-usb- 
20-hub-with-ac-adapter  = $32

I can't believe that some of these hub devices are over $100!

This is the site and the 4-port version my friend got  
initially:

Piece of junk, apparently.
