Just had a google on line.

 

Would it pull strainer steeples out if driven right into the hilt if u were stripping of a strainer post?

The grips look quite pointy but still look like a well driven in steeple miht be hard to grip

 

The jaws are cleverly designed.  They have two 'teeth' that just point outwards and as you close the jaws around the top of the staple they dig in.  So if any of the head of the staple is visible - it seems to work.  If the head of the staple is below or level with the surface of the post - then I just wiggle the jaws until they start to get underneath the staple.

 

However if the staple is over the wire - they are never below the surface.

 

With a little bit of practice - I can't remember the last time they didn't work.

 

I'm sure you seen the video - but if not it's a very genuine review of the tool's capability.

 

 

 

I did see a second-hand one on eBay a month or two ago - and it was sold for £67.  That's only a small saving on retail and probably reflects how good they are.
