I've never, ever had a staple collapse, back when I didn't have a mandrel (which was for many, many years). I've never used the "thin-wall" staples that now seem in vogue, just the old standard brass.

You can get a fair amount of tension even without a mandrel--the tension is all between the hand holding the thread and the anchor point. The other hand only has to oppose the slight torque caused by the thread entering and leaving the staple-reed combo at slightly different lateral positions.
