When you're outfitting a bindery or print finishing station, an electric auto-rapid stapler needs to move between flat stapling for booklets and saddle stitching for folded jobs. Two versions of the model 106 auto-rapid stapler are on the table: the Electric 106 Auto-Rapid Flat+Saddle Stapler at $179.99 and the 110V Electric 106 Auto-Rapid Flat Saddle Stapler at $148.99. The $31 spread is the main question to settle before you choose. You're not choosing between flat and saddle stitching here - both options are designed to handle both tasks.
Quick verdict
Both products share the same core working specs: binding thickness from 2 to 50 sheets, convertible stitching/saddle stitching modes, and a foot switch. The deciding factor is the price and a few specification details. If you want the explicit "Flat+Saddle" designation in the title, the Electric 106 Auto-Rapid Flat+Saddle Stapler is the candidate. If you're comfortable with the same 106-model feature set for a lower price, the 110V Electric 106 Auto-Rapid Flat Saddle Stapler gets the job done.

Where each product wins
- The Electric 106 Auto-Rapid Flat+Saddle Stapler wins when you're looking for the "Flat+Saddle" label and a specific voltage rating. It carries the higher price of the pair, so you're paying for that title designation.
- The 110V Electric 106 Auto-Rapid Flat Saddle Stapler wins when your decision is driven by the lower price. The shared model 106 specs keep it a functional match for the pricier unit, and the title reflects the same type of auto-rapid stapler.
Product notes
Electric 106 Auto-Rapid Flat+Saddle Stapler Binder Book Binding Machine 110V
This unit carries the "Flat+Saddle" wording in its title, and its electrical spec is 110V at 60Hz. It covers flat nail stapling, saddle stitching, and a 100mm depth. It is the higher-priced option in this head-to-head, so you're paying for the title designation and the explicit voltage rating. If you prefer that naming and the specific 110V/60Hz spec, this is the one to place in your bindery. For operators who want the machine described as a "Flat+Saddle" unit from the start, this product leaves no room for guesswork about the intended stitching modes.
110V Electric 106 Auto-Rapid Flat Saddle Stapler Binder Book Binding Machine
This is the lower-priced route to the same model 106 feature set. Its title says "Flat Saddle" rather than "Flat+Saddle," but it still covers saddle stitching and flat stapling, along with the 100mm depth and foot switch. The input voltage specification is 220V/110V, which includes the 110V in its title. Choose this product if the lower price matters most and you don't need the "Flat+Saddle" phrase on the package. It's a straightforward pick for a shop that wants the core functionality without the extra title wording.
Final choice by use case
For a bindery that wants the explicit "Flat+Saddle" label, the Electric 106 Auto-Rapid Flat+Saddle Stapler is the matching product. For a workshop or small print shop that wants the same 106-model functionality without paying the higher price, the 110V Electric 106 Auto-Rapid Flat Saddle Stapler is the practical pick.
