The other job looking for an appropriate tool is removing fencing
staples. Everyone I know uses a hammer and a point from a finger bar
mower (agricultural).

Well, just to be different, I use electrical pincers and, if they're
not man enough for the job, a pair of blacksmiths pincers.

Umm... barbed wire is usually secured with 40mm staples. The other
problem is that modern posts treated with non bituminous products seem
to encourage rusting of the staples.

A pair of pincers used to pull horses' shoes off is *well* able to cope
with "40mm staples" I can assure you!
