A staple remover (10) for removing stapled sheets (26) and material. The staple remover (10) has a handle and a set of interchangeable blades (18) which can be releasably fixed to the front end (14) of the handle. The blades (18) extend through an aperture provided in the handle. The blades (18) have a frontwardly tapering configuration. The blades (18) are adapted to be slid between the stapled sheets (26) and the crown section (30) of the staple (28). Slidable insertion of the blade (18) causes the staple (28) to unclench. The staple remover (10) also has a claw member (116) slidably fixed to the substantially hollow handle (12). The claw member (16) is adapted to pull the staples (28) unclenched by the blade (18) from the blade (18) into the hollow handle (12). The hollow handle (12) communicates with a used staple storage compartment (22). The used staple storage compartment (22) is snappingly fixed to the handle (12) and can be easily removed from the latter. The structure of the staple remover (10) allows for the quick and easy fixing of interchangeable blades (18) of different sizes to the handle (12).
