  • Publication number: 20140299824
    Abstract: The present staple-pulling tool is configured to facilitate the removal of carpet pad staples from floors by a standing user. Specifically, the staple-pulling tool can comprise a handle section, a blade section, and a fulcrum. The handle section can be configured to have an adjustable length capable of fitting users of varying heights. The blade section can be connected to the handle section at an angle. The blade section can comprise a series of teeth that can accommodate the width of carpet pad staples. The fulcrum can be located beneath the handle section and can comprise one or more wheels. The wheels can help a user to move the staple-pulling tool and can also provide leverage for the user to pull the staples. When a user pushes down on the handle, the teeth can pull the carpet pad staples from the floor.
