English term or phrase: stapler
Dictionaries give a number of translations:
מַהְדֵק, מְכוֹנַת הִדוּק, מַכלֵב, מַחבֵּר, שַׁדְכָן

Which of these is commonly used around the office in an Israeli company? Or, is it yet another word? Could you also please include the vowel points if any? (I'm just learning.)
