C.S. Osborne No. 710 Groove Staple Remover

Osborne 710 groove remover with an angled working end and yellow handle.
Osborne 710 groove remover with an angled working end and yellow handle.

When to choose it

The No. 710 is intended for staples exposed inside a furniture groove. Choose it when the old welt cord and fabric can be lifted away and the metal stays down in the channel. The 3⅞-inch blade gives you a separate reach measurement to compare with the depth and approach at the groove.

The tool has a fluted handle intended to resist rolling. If the staples sit on an open rail without a channel, compare a regular No. 124. If a leg remains visible after lifting, switch to a tool that can grip the protruding metal.

Questions about this product

Do I start by trying to lift the cord and metal together?

Osborne’s instructions expose the staple after removing the welt cord and pulling the fabric away from the groove.

What is the difference from a regular lifter?

The No. 710 is described for reaching into a groove. The regular No. 124 is a more general staple remover.

What should I use if a leg remains exposed afterward?

Compare a gripping plier for removing the remaining piece of metal.
