I had never heard of F.Faust. The little bit of searching I have done has not been productive. I think these are sort of cool, so I thought I would share. I'll bet they work well for pulling/pounding staples.

yeah, that is the only one that came up for me.
Ironically, it is from a wrench/tool auction in Davenport, Iowa.
That is where I grew up.
I would not say this is the coolest one in that assortment.
It is a pretty incredible assortment of stuff they auctioned off.
Very well catalogued too.

Fence Pliers. I have a couple that combine that with hog ring pliers, they're in my grab and go drawer in the shop. They work for horseshoe ("U") nails (aka fence staples), rings, nails, and whathaveyou; the "hooky" side is to hook the fence staples and pull them from ye olde fencepost when you're tensioning or replacing a panel...
