Abstract
Examples provide an electronic shelf label (ESL) removal tool for removing an electronic shelf label from a shelf. The tool includes a central body member which is substantially cylindrical. A gripping member is included at a first end of the central body enabling a user to grip the tool. An expansion member at a second end of the central body slides between a shelf rail to expand or increase a distance between the rails. The tool enables the user to remove the ESL from between the rails more easily. A wedge-shaped tab at the second end of the central body fits between one edge of the shelf rail and the edge of the ESL to pry the ESL out from between the rails.
