In this video I share how to remove carpet padding staples without loosing your mind Be sure to subscribe for more tips and tricks about the carpet and flooring industry
Glad to see it worked for you but my subfloor had very difficult to remove staples from 60 years and I had to hand pick each one out with screwdriver and pliers like pulling an embedded tooth. Hands are full of blisters even wearing gloves
FYI. This ONLY works with carpet padding staples! If you are trying to remove staples that held a wood underlayment under your vinyl tile floor, those staples will not come out with this method. They are too long and a bear to pull by hand. I suggest if you are covering the area with tile and cement board is going over the wood sub-floor, just pound them into the sub-floor because it is going to be covered with thinset anyway. This will save you a TON of backbreaking work! Otherwise, this is a great video for removing carpet staples quickly!
Yeah same issue , staples where cut flush and sheared off. Not removing them. Some rusted staples did this as well. Side cutter was slow but did better job.
We are putting down lux vinyl planks and the guy at Lowes told us to pull them all up. He said if we cut them off or hammer them into the floor the planks will not sit even. Subfloor must be flush. I know nothing about this stuff... just that I have been pulling staples for days :S

He wasn't removing subfloor Staples. He was removing the tiny Staples that hold carpet pad down...
He said that in the very beginning
sweeeeet...just saved me a lot of time.
for the ones that don’t pop out, a small metal spreader gets them out
Oh for the love of Pete! I just ordered a scraper. Haha.. thanks for tip!
You're my hero.

Did not work, just bent all the staples over for me, now going to be harder to get them, ugh
Vicki's Keto Way Of Life ooooooooo nooooooo
The easiest way to do this with the least amount of effort is a multi tool with a new/old blade no physical effort what so ever
Tried that out of curiosity. Shovels still faster and no knee time. Give it a try some time.
Boy you are so getto
TH-cam really did come from God
