I'm rerouting some wiring in my garage, which necessitates removing

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.

The tool is curved. You pinch the staple or nail, and use the curved
part as a lever to pull them right out.

Yep! And this is one of those cases where 1 $17 tool is worth a dozen
of the knockoffs at $4-5. That Klein will last a lifetime. [longer
if you try to remember *not* to cut live wires with it]
