Ripping up carpet sucks
What's that on my thumb? Oh just another potential tetanis laden cut from a rusty staple. Day 3 of ripping up carpet in 3 different rooms. Aside from the crap that seems to come out of the fibers i love having to rip out old rusty staples that break into individual prongs of death when you go to pull them. I have a nice big set of lineman's pliers which could pull the tooth out of a lion's mouth and a nice thin bladed screwdriver to loosen them out but it still sucks.
That's all I have to say.

Needle nose pliers with the curved beak > * for getting out nails/staples.
Also if you need to get the tack boards up, the Stanley wonder bar + a hammer is great for that.

I bought a wonder bar and holy shit it's my favorite tool. the teardrop cutout rocks at removing nails at all heights.

Wonderbar is good. I also have its big brother that's about 3' long and weighs 10lb or so. It blows through tack strips and their concrete nails like they're not there. Just watch out for the baseboards.

If you like the wonderbar...you'll love this. I have 2 and never do any demolition without one. It's a Shark Pry Bar.
Best $10 you will ever spend. Get's into countersunk nails, finish nails, staples, anything & pulls em out quick.

Be VERY careful with those old staples. You don't want to end up like this:
