Popping staples off of beaver ??

[RiverRat]

Anyone found anything that works better than this




I have thought about the staple rake is it worth the $$$. Any tips as far as speed ?

RR, i see lot of guys that staple, do it 90 degrees to what you are doing, would that maybe make it easyer to pull staples?

Needle nose pliers and a magnet to catch the stapes

Set the stapler so it don’t drive them deep…just enough to hold

It’s the way I do it… maybe there’s a faster system but a guy got to be careful you can tear the hide some times and pulling more than one staple at a time increases the risk

Looks like a nice put up on the beaver

I use a needle nose pliers that has a spring that returns the tool to the open position when not applying pressure. I think it makes the job easier.

I put my staples perpendicular to the hide like RK660 mentions. Uses more staples but the hide doesn't curl over the staple. I remove with a hook blade razor knife in one hand and a pair of needle nose in the other. The knife gets most but sometimes you get a stubborn one. I can move pretty fast this way.

KB products make a staple rake. Never tried it but big Erine Moser from NAFA puts up a pile of beaver every year and loves it . They are kinda pricey thou. I'm still using nails

Use a 9/16 staple, and turn it down so they aren't driving so deep. Saves a lot of headache that way.

Guys I do run a ajustable depth stapler, spring loaded needle nose pliers, a magnet is a nessary tool in a furshed if your using staples unless you like holes in your boots and your dog eating them. I may try turning my staples side ways like RK says seems like I use enough of them the way it is though.

I use a staple rake from KB.

I use catfish skinning pliers . they are spring loaded and you can turn the corner under the staple roll the pliers side ways it pops the staples out quite easy .almost always get both legs to come out at the same time . I've tried needle nose and dykes before I tried the fish skinners . they work best for me . they also work the best for stretching the hide for me .

I shoot the staples in perpendicular to the hide with one leg in the hide and one out. I also drive them in at an angle, with the one in the hide deep and the one out of the hide shallow. I use fence pliers to pull them out. It really goes fast.

I am considering a depth stop under the gun and the KB rake. It should speed things up. A turntable would be nice too.
