gizmodo.com.auA staple remover (also known as a staple decleater, deschnaffler, staple puller, staple muncher, destapler, butterfly, crocodile or crimper) is a device that allows for the quick removal of a staplefrom a material without causing damage. Although a simple metal wedge can be used, and is found on the ends of some staplers for that purpose, this method tends to tear fragile papers. For light gauge staples, many people instead use a device consisting of two opposing wedges on a pivot. For convenience, this device has a spring that returns it to the open position after use.
Some staplers, mainly small ones that are about 1.5 inches (3.8 cm) long contain an integrated staple remover. This is basically a piece of metal that is slid under each "curled" side of the staple and turned to loosen the staple.
Staple removers are known as decleaters in many former British colonies, such as Barbados.
