Default Tool for removing wiring staples?

I'm rerouting some wiring in my garage, which necessitates removing
the staples that hold it in its current configuration. I've been using
a flat pry bar with some success (defined as "Got the staple out
without gouging clean through to bare wire.") but I'm wondering if
there is a tool specifically made for this task.


I use nippers or my Knipex Cobra adjustable pliers with the serrated
teeth. Grab one leg of the staple and lever it out. Then just pull
out the remaining leg.
