Tilts at Tables
The Noble Gas nailed it !

The tool is like a bionic fingernail.
Turned tall, on side, will slip under staple. Bit of leverage will crown the center of the fastener.
Then, layed flat, the staple is forced to the bottom of the devils horns.
Couple of good twists, and the staple is out.
Simple to use, hard to describe. ?

Really, there is two tools there.
Hard to tell in the photo, however it is not symmetrical. With a keen eye you may notice the pitch, length, and gap is unique to each side.
