The nylon tools that one uses to pry apart cases on things like MP3 players, phones etc, without marking them. There is a fery specific name for such a tool, and it's bugging me that I can't rememeber it... -- Use the BIG mirror service in the UK: http://www.mirrorservice.org *lightning protection* - a w_tom conductor |

It's always worthwhile having these sorts of things around. I picked up a set of very inexpensive tools from Ald/lidls recently, aimed I think at taking 'O' rings out, and thank goodness I did as they were perfect for extracting a broken car key from the boot lock of an old Mazda MX5.

At least, the ones for removing the glass screens from iPrides are. And you have a 50/50 chance of them actually releasing the clips before tearing to shreds and breaking the glass screen.
