Best staples for my No. 13?

Found this wonderful stapler for $1.99 at the thrift store and it had exactly ONE staple in it, but I'll tell you that first smack of the button felt incredible. I knew looking at the stack of paper that it didn't use regular staples.

I want to do this stapler justice and not feed it junk.

Am I correct that Swingline heavy duty staples are the modern replacement for No. 13 staples? Or are there better options?

2015 Chrysler T&C, front blower fan weirdness

2015 Chrysler Town & County with automatic climate control.

Front blower motor doesn't immediately kick on. Sometimes it revs up for a second then back to really low spin. Does that randomly for awhile then finally kicks on full as requested.

Sometimes turning the fan speed down and then back up seems to work, most of the time not.

Replaced resistor pack and blower motor.

Hooked it up to AlfaOBD and I can command the fan to kick on without issue.

Only oddity is a broken blend door that I don't really want to tear apart the dash to get to.

Would the blend door cause this? The actuator does hunt back and forth after starting the van.

Might be a dumb question, but how do I make these read the real hole spacing?

Edit: returning these and getting the Shars for about the same cost.

Also edit: found out I can unscrew the bracket that holds the pins, butt the end up against the body of the caliper. Zero it, reassemble. And be within 0.2mm compared to real measurement, so it works for the most part, but still getting the Shars instead.

Bought these to help replicate items in fusion, mainly for hole spacing. The "zero" on these are actually 10mm tip to tip apart with no way to truly zero them (even with the tips removed).

Short of having to remember to add 10mm from every measurement, is there something I am not understanding on how to use these to measure canter-to-center of 2 holes?

Not sure where else to post, but I figured this is similar to some fencing posts in a way.

I have a pair of 10x13 gazebos with these 2x2 legs on 6x6 bases. Looking for ideas on how to mount them to the lawn short of sonotube and concrete.

My thoughts were to use an auger and bury a cinder block and tapcon it to that. Or a bury a large paver stone and tapcon it.

Another idea was to use those large mailbox ground screws with the U plate, remove the bases on these legs, and bolt them to the U plate with spacers.

And another idea was to use the 30" long dog tie out style ground spirals at an angle and bolt the eye through the legs.

Any other ideas? I don't feel like chasing one across the yard again...
