A handheld carton staple removal tool, the metallic-colored 289 weighs about 1/5th of a pound.

According to the '08 ULINE catalog the H-289 can be purchased for eleven dollars, or obtained for free upon ordering carton staples totalling two-hundred dollars or more.

As of May 2010, the manufacturer's web site indicates that the price is now $14 USD, but the above-mentioned free bonus offer remains available. There do not appear to have been any changes in the remover itself.

The same company sells a wide range of staplers, staples, and related equipment.
