Anyone know the best tool to remove staples from hard wood flooring?

Some of them are really embedded deep and I would like to remove while
damaging the floor as less as possible.

So far a screw driver and pliers is what I am using but it would be nice if
there was a better solution.

Are they in the tongue or did somebody drive them through the face?

I'm wondering if you would really _have_ to remove them or simply
break off the points to reuse the material...

I've found no _good_ solution but better luck depending on the actual
staple used may be a tack puller or similar instead of the screwdriver
(thinner, harder blade) and a pair of side cutters or small end
cutters instead of regular pliers...
