ABSTRACT:
A staple puller includes a pair of pivotably connected jaw members that are made from sheet metal. The jaw members have teeth that are configured to hook under a staple and pull it from a stack of pages. But sometimes one leg of a staple remains embedded in the stack after the other leg is pulled free, thus producing a “straggler” that may be difficult to remove if the stack is relatively thick. Accordingly, one of the jaw members is provided with a bent flange that cooperates with an edge of the other jaw member in the manner of pliers so that a straggler can be gripped and pulled out.
