I've found the best tools for that job to be a flat head screwdriver and a pair of lineman's pliers.
Lift the staple up with the screwdriver (some will pop out completely at this point) and then grab with the lineman's pliers. Compared to other styles, I find that lineman's pliers are easier to manipulate with one hand and that leads to less fatigue.

have you used a pair of fencing pliers like pictured?
admittedly, they are for heavy fence staples, not carpet pad staples.
Damn, whoever put thte caprpet down was OCD. There are a shit ton of staples.
My wafe was usinga pair of "cutting Pliers" or concrete nibblers. The type that have tranfverse cutting teeth. But the edges are straight and broad, seems like it would be hard compared to fencing pliers whose teeth can kind of get under/behind the staple.
