For years, I toiled away at removing staples with my bare fingernails. Certainly, I thought, there must be an easier way! But these sorts of things take practice; you can't just jump right into high tech staple removing. You have to take baby steps. And so I began working my way through the world of staple removers and embarked on the Darwinian trek of staple remover evolution.
Having cut my staple removing teeth (pun intended) on the old-fashioned claw-style staple remover (BAZIC Claw Style Staples Remover, 2 Per Pack), I graduated to the "ultimate" staple remover (Swingline Ultimate Staple Remover, Platinum (S7038121)). Just when I thought I had reached the pinnacle of staple removing ease (after all, the word "ultimate" does mean "the best achievable or imaginable of its kind," doesn't it?), my world was rocked. ROCKED.
I had not even begun to imagine the possibilities. I didn't even know what I was missing until I felt the sweet caress of the Stanley Bostich Professional Magnetic Staple Remover in my hand. Contoured to fit my hand, just like my Venus razor, with a comfort grip so that the staple removing calluses on my sore hands could heal at last...how have I ever removed a staple any other way? What sort of life of misery and drudgery have I been living up to this point?
I'll tell you: chastised constantly by my boss for my unprofessional staple removing performances; endlessly chasing down loose removed staples, forced to wipe them off my desk and into my trash can on a daily basis, losing seconds of productivity; and nearly severing several of my fingers in a box-opening mishap in 2007. But no longer. Now I am free! Free from staple removing drudgery, free from embarrassing dressing-downs in front of my coworkers, free to open boxes with no concern for my life and limbs.
Thank you, Stanley Bostich Professional Magnetic Staple Remover, for taking this dismal life and making it worth living. I can't wait until they introduce the Master Staple Remover (dare I dream? I think I shall!) Stanley Bostitch Professional Magnetic Staple Remover, Black (40000M-BLK)
I work in a file room scanning and pulling staples all day. This is the very best staple puller I have ever used. It fits perfectly in my hand. It holds up under pressure and does not split apart at the seam. It is also magnetic for those pesky run away staples. The only problem I have with this staple puller is keeping it away from co-workers...had to put my name on it.
Not to get too emphatic about a staple remover, but this little tool rocks! A terrific design. I think the key is that they've used a very thin, very flexible spring steel blade -- nicely shaped -- that can pretty easily slip beneath most staples, even those tightly pinched down, without tearing the paper to pieces. The handle is comfortable, and the built-in magnet makes cleaning up the used staples a breeze. Good value for the money.
The first use of this product was an epiphany. How come this contraption wasn't invented decades ago? I have been using the clipper staple removal tool for years and that tool looks downright dumb in comparison.
This product is simply superior. You will be able to remove staples faster, with less effort, and with less damage to the paper than with the typical clipper staple remover.
If you are using the clipper, I suggest you invest small cash and get this product which will undoubtedly last for years, if not decades.
This staple remover has almost all five star reviews because it is simply the best. The contour handle is easy to grip, and the magnet on the underside is very handy when removing staples near a copier or scanner (we all know how a loose staple can really mess things up). But where this really shines in my office is removing large heavy duty staples. Lots of staple removers can remove a small staple binding a couple of pages. But only this staple remover can undo an inch thick document with one of those monster staples without destroying the pages.
Once you try this, you'll never go back to a conventional staple remover. This is one of those very simple tools that simply works great at performing a function that arises every day in a busy office. I also keep one at home because it is much simpler and more effective than other staple removers even for a simple job. I recommend this.
I got tired of using the old style staple remover when my last unit broke. I purchased several different products and found I liked this one the best. It's very fast, comfortable to hold, and I stay in control of the old staples so they don't get into trouble. It was also the least expensive of all the units I tested. Best product, lowest price - a simple decision. - Office - Stanley Bostitch - Staple Removers'
