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 said, "Now what can I do to improve this thing?  I know - I'll put pliers on it."

Well, just like Thomas Edison, 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" in the biggest office products show in America.   And, little by little, the Erkie is being accepted as state-of-the-art in staple removers.

Erkie receives many testimonials such as :

• "Great idea - wish I'd thought of it."

• "All us women owe you for our manicures."

• "All others are obsolete."

• "For the same price, why buy the old style?"

• "This small tool has made my life easier."

Coming soon, will be other Erkie products.  Erkie is very competitively priced and plans to stay that way.   Stay tuned and happy pulling!  Just think, no more frustration or ruined fingernails when left with a half-removed staple.
