No name AG388A removal pliers for staples and rivets, hand tool for cutting and prying

No name AG388A removal pliers for staples and rivets are a handheld mechanical tool designed to remove staples, pull small rivets and pry out similar fasteners. The compact design concentrates leverage at the jaws to cut and extract metal fixtures with controlled force, making the tool suitable for upholstery work, packaging removal, repair tasks and light demolition where precise removal of small metal fasteners is required.

Advantages

The tool combines a slim profile and mechanical leverage to reach tight areas and apply controlled pulling force. Hardened jaws and a pivoted mechanism improve durability and reduce slippage when engaging staples or rivet heads. Its handheld form factor offers portability for workshop use or on-site repairs, and the tool does not require power, batteries or consumables to operate.

Suitable for

• Upholstery removal and furniture repair
• Opening and disassembling packaging with metal staples
• Removing small rivets and fasteners during light demolition
• General workshop and DIY tasks requiring mechanical prying or cutting

Key specifications

• Tool type: handheld removal pliers for staples and rivets
• Primary functions: cutting, prying and pulling small metal fasteners
• Construction: metal jaws with pivot mechanism for mechanical leverage
• Size: compact, designed to access confined spaces (handheld)
• Power source: manual (no power required)

How to use

Position the jaws of the pliers so the jaw tip engages the staple crown or rivet head. Apply steady squeezing force on the handles to clamp the fastener, then use the leverage of the pivoted mechanism to pry the fastener out of the material. For tightly seated staples or rivets, work incrementally by prying a little at a time to avoid damaging the surrounding material. After extraction, inspect the jaws for deformation and clear any metal debris before further use.

Usage recommendations

Use eye protection and gloves when removing metal fasteners. Apply controlled, even pressure to avoid sudden slips. For rusted or corroded fasteners, consider applying a penetrating lubricant first and allow it to penetrate before attempting removal. Store the pliers in a dry place to prevent corrosion of metal parts.
