C.S. Osborne No. 124-12 Extra-Long Staple Remover

Osborne 124-12 staple remover with a long black blade and short wood handle.
Osborne 124-12 staple remover with a long black blade and short wood handle.

When to choose it

Choose this version when the staple is beyond a rail, seam fold or trim that blocks your hand. Osborne extends the working blade to 8¼ inches while retaining the staple-remover design. Check the route from your hand to the staple rather than judging access by the full 12-inch length.

When you can approach the crown directly, the regular No. 124 gives you a shorter six-inch body with a 2¼-inch blade. Consider the smaller tool if the extra blade would get in the way of starting the staple from the right angle.
