That's my go-to puller too.   But I've never figured out what the saw tooth is for.

Since I do repair work, I often just have to open an edge and reuse the fabric and find this is the kindest, gentlest stapler puller.

My favorite is the Osborn with the saw tooth side.  That's in one hand and a wire cutter in the other. I grind the edge of the wire cutter to a point and dull the cutting edge.    I use the wire cutter to tap the wood handle of the saw tooth puller and if the staple is stubborn the wire cutter grabs the leg.
I can't resist tools but this one isn't getting a good review here  - guess I'll hold off and save some money -

If you have a staple sticking up with only one of the legs sticking in the wood, put that staple in one of the saw teeth. Press the staple down onto the staple puller with the thumb on the hand that is holding the staple puller. Twist the staple puller and voila! The staple comes out of the wood.

Release your thumb from holding the staple. Watch as the staple falls to the floor. Forget about the staple until a homeowner points out that you are putting scratch marks on their newly finished wood flooring. Take off your shoe. See the staple sticking in your shoe. Pull out your staple remover. Put the staple in one of the saw teeth. Press the staple down onto the staple puller with the thumb - well you get the idea.
