I have never seen a better tool than this brand new staple puller called
the

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 vice grips to grab the staple and a crow bar under the vice grips


to pull the staple. I know it's hard when the staple is in the sill
between the joists with a foundation ledge. I don't know how they
pounded them in there.
