Featherstrip Removal Tool

tool

I was asking about the staple puller because I have not seen the model of puller your using in action...I started using a ground down flat headed screw driver and pliers to remove staples..I came across a staple remover at office max that I think is the best..two twists of the wrist and the staple is removed 100%..I posted a picture of the remover I'm using now awhile back...I showed the tool to a few at alsip when in use..anyone know if ron Wiseman is on AZ?
Has anyone used this type of puller?

I've always used a Berry Staple Remover... I love it because of the little slots in it that allow you to pry them out. It almost completely eliminates going back and pulling staples w/ a pair of pliers.
 
maybe some of these tools should be in the unique tools thread. I heard there was going to be a stairclimber in there in two weeks.
 
Rick,

It's a ten dollar tool... that pulls staples faster and easier than a screwdriver and pliers. Pulling staples is the job I hate the most on any pool table, a tool which makes the job faster and easier is staying in my tool box.

As far as feather strip pullers go, They aren't as necessary today as they were years ago. 30 years ago mechanics almost never replaced feather-strips. They would pound oversize strips down on top of thick non worsted cloth and break them into 3 inch pieces. With the feather strip puller you could slide the tight broken pieces out very easily. They are also handy if you have feather-strips that have been glued.

I lost mine 15 years ago and have not replaced it, but I would, if I could find one like I had. Very handy when your following hacked up work. Again it's only a $20.00 tool.

I was referring to the featherstrip tool.
For staples I use a Berrys.
