I used an old coal shovel to get 90% of them. The rest I ended up using the pliers.

You'll hate yourself after the first hour.
I've been putting up fence for the last month and bought a few Vise Grips (I have a habit of losing them on the farm). |

They work fine. I've got a couple of them plus a few nicer ones. It doesn't make a big difference in fencing pliers.

You'll see more wear faster on the cutting surfaces with the HF ones and they're stiff as fuck when new, but if you're just after the spike and the pliers they should be fine.

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. |

Then mine didn't get the memo since they've survived just fine including being beaten under fence staples with a sledge

I bought a pair and had to pull a bunch of staples out, and the plier surface (mostly corners) specifically for working into behind the staples was quickly destroyed TOO. |

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. |

Saw these at Home Depot the other day; they looked kind of handy but I don't know how well they work.
http://www.homedepot.com/p/Crescent-11-in-Nail-Pulling-Plier-NP11/204065906?N=5yc1vZc987 They also have some Dewalt fencing pliers for $5. |

Regular electrician's pliers. Vise grips take too long to unlock. You'll work your grip, but that's ok. I'd be nervous about the shovel method breaking the staples off and leaving a bunch of sharp spikes. I did 3 rooms plus two staircases. Stairs were the worst.
