How can you remove staples from a wall without using a staple remover?

Answer 1

If there is enough space, you could straighten out a paper clip and slip it under the staple. Then just pull it out. This is probably less damaging to the wall than a pair of pliers or scissorsbecause it is smaller, yet sturdy.

Answer 2

Best Staple Remover

Answer 3

Ok... now the real answer a little late. The trouble is they use these giant stapkes that are half in the room and half under the walls. Heres what to do... 1) using a razor knife and lots and lots of blades cut the carpet as best as you can right next to the walls around the room. 2) Remove the carpet and pad from the room. 3) Using a 45 degree angle grinder with the thin discs that cut metal... under cut the staples that are holding down whats left of the carpet and pad. 4) You will find that they were not stingy with these staples with the pad seams either. use the grider on them also. A full double wide will usually take about 10 grinder discs to get it done.

Answer 4

Needlenose pliers grab the middle of the staple and yank.

Answer 5

I suppose you could use any thin sturdy object that can lever the staple and yank it off the wall.

Say a metal ruler, a key, your nails (be careful with this) or anything else you can find.

Answer 6

I would try the edge of a putty knife , anything thinner than that may chip the blade and send it shooting across the room only to find it when you step on it , or pulling it out of your eye, wear some glasses& needle nose pliers,or small pliers.to pull it out of the wall...
