Upholstery and Construction Heavy Duty Staple Remover Tack Lifter Office Claw Tools Yellow...

This staple puller worked best for me by wiggling it firmly under a staple while periodically levering the handle down. Once a "hold" on the staple is felt, it is removed by a final push down on the handle to effect an upward pull on the staple. Sometimes the staple will pull right out. For stubborn or longer staples, I found that one leg of the staple will often pull free first, and then I exerted a sideways twisting motion to the tool to sort of "grab" the stubborn leg and lever it out sideways. There might be a slight tendency for the probe (or "business") end of the tool to bending under extended use, but it hasn't yet interfered with my use yet.

Seriously? How can anyone give this "tool" any positive feedback? What a piece of junk. I chose this one because I could have it in two days with Prime shipping and keep moving on my upholstery project. Had been using my usual screwdriver and pliers combo and was excited to try this tool. It was a struggle to get the thick tip started under a staple, and the tip bent easily both forward and back with the pressure of the very first staple. Once bent, the clasping mechanism failed to grasp the staples at all. Tried using it on multiple staples on several different sections of my chair and it did not successfully remove a single staple. Very disappointed. What a waste of time and money!

OMG, this tool made a previously painful process--removing large furniture staples holding the fabric on the seat of my dining room chairs--so fast and easy! The upholsterer gave me a deep discount on recovering the seats if I removed the old fabric as that was the most time-consuming part of the job for him. I attempted to do it using ordinary tools and it was taking forEVER plus frustratibg me no end, so i looked on ZeeBooth for a staple remover. I chose this one from the description of its use, it came within 2 days and the rest was like magic. It has a sort of lever on it so when the point gets under the staple, you push down and the staple pops up.

I am not a construction professional, I do light upholstery work. I was removing staples holding fabric onto wood and they were deeply embedded. They had clearly been inserted with a power tool. This tool seemed to do better than the two-pronged claw tool at removing them because I could use vertical force to really dig down to get underneath the staple. Pulling staples is never fun, and if they are embedded then no tool will be able to slide underneath them. They will have to be dug out with a tip thin enough to slide underneath the staple but strong enough to dig in and lift the staple. This tool seemed to strike the best balance and was most effective after some practice. The silver-colour plating came off of the tip pretty quickly, revealing the brass underneath and making it a bit thinner and better able to slip underneath the staples, so not a bad thing. This tool also stopped my hand from skidding across the staple if it slipped off, unlike the screwdriver I initially tried which led to lots of nicks in my hands. This was definitely safer. The handle end of the tool did start to give me a blister on my hand after using it a while, so I would recommend gloves for large, difficult jobs. Maybe the handle could be a bit longer and there could be finger stops and the front end of the grip. It didn't damage the fabric or the surface as much as the other tool. I was pulling wire upholstery staples and this tool seemed very sturdy for the job. I could only imagine it bending if it were used for very large, toothed staples that were put in with a power tool. Overall, it was a sturdy, well-made tool that should last through future upholstery projects.

Reupholstered my 8 dining room chairs. It was so hard getting the old staples out until I got this. Takes a little practice to get really good with it but by the second or third chairs staples were flying out. Nicely designed to hold the staple until you're ready to dump it. Comfortable handle.
