Erkie, the staple remover with pliers, was developed by Erwin Cheldin. One day, after years of removing only half the staple with a standard remover and searching for pliers to remove the remaining half, Erwin said to himself, "I'm not going to go through this again." Turning the staple remover over in his hand, he thought to himself, "Now what can I do to improve this thing? .....Pliers would be a very helpful addition."
Erwin made a drawing and prototype in his kitchen. The idea was patented and manufactured. The manufacturing kinks were worked out, and the Erkie was perfected.
Erkie was acclaimed the "best new desk-top product" at the biggest office products show in America. And now, the Erkie is being accepted as state-of-the-art in staple removers.
