Removing wood floors and the staple
We are removing a 3/4 wood floor that is staple down. Is there a tool out there to remove the staples?

umm a hammer or cut them with cable cutters. Normally most of the staples pull out with the wood. So the few that stick up I hit them down with a hammer.

Cut the legs off with a small side grinder. Leave the crown in place. Quick and smelly.
