Review on TEKTON Mini Flat Nose Pliers with Smooth Jaw - PMN23001: Precision and Versatility for Any Task by Jason Dahlkemper

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Suitable for straightening and extracting jammed staples

My job at the moment is to prepare a large number of documents for scanning. This includes removing all brackets in these documents, and adding some new brackets literally for every page. Traditional staple removers can only straighten the staples before pulling them out, and with old documents and tons of staples, a slight bending of the staples can cause documents to break. The flat surface of the jaw is well suited for this task. Some documents may also have deeply embedded staples or even use large, heavy staples that may be too big for a standard staple remover. This is where the serrated jaw comes in, making it relatively easy to remove. In short, the small size makes it handy, the wider jaw makes it better suited for straightening any type of wire than needle nose pliers, and the serrated jaw gives you the grip you need for pulling.
