What Are Staple Removers
Staple remover tools are a great addition to any desk organizer or supply room. A staple remover, sometimes called a staple puller, is a handy device made for dislodging staples that have already been applied to a surface. They can be used to unstaple virtually any item you’ve stapled to a surface. The most traditional type of staple pullers include a mouth-like design with metal prongs for getting under the staple and pulling it out cleanly, much cleaner and safer than your fingers would be able to. Keep one around the office, classroom or even your home to simplify any stapling mishaps. Pair your portable or desk staplers with a staple remover to avoid any mishaps.
What Type Of Staple Remover Tools Are There?
Staple remover tools come in three main designs, all of which can remove staples easily. These styles and designs include:
Push staple removers
Push staple removers use a metallic mechanism that goes under the flat part of the staple. Users then lift up or squeeze the handle and the staple comes out. This design is commonly referred to as staple pullers.
Claw staple removers
The claw staple remover design is the old standard staple remover. This design is made with two sets of sharp metal teeth that close around the flat part of the staple. Simply pull up on the staple and it comes out.
Scoop staple removers
The scoop staple remover design acts as a wedge between the staple and whatever material it is in. Quickly put this staple remover under the flat part of the staple and “scoop” up.
What Features Do Staple Pullers Have?
Staple removers are easy to use and are designed to not tear paper, making it quick and efficient to remove staples without causing damage. They’re made to be durable, so one should last you quite a long time. Their design also includes spring-loaded levers and ergonomic shaping to make it comfortable to hold and use one if dealing with staples is a common part of your work. Many also feature magnetic removers to hold onto staples and them off floors where they can become a hazard.
Finish off your office supplies with paper clips, tape, fasteners and adhesives if you want to skip the staples all together.
