I've been wondering what to do with that chip puller I haven't used in a
long time.  Smile!!!

One of the handiest little toys I ever bought is a computer toolkit that
includes a gadget called a chip puller. This looks exactly like a large pair
of tweezers with small hooks on the ends of each leg. It's intended to be
used to pull chips from system boards and it works beautifully to grip and
assist in removal of CF cards from the BookPort. These kits are quite
standard and can be picked up at places like RadioShack, CompUSA, etc., for
around $10. Also included are a set of screwdrivers (Phillips head and
straight blade), a nut driver of the correct size to fit the little screws
that hold adapter cards into a computer chassis, etc. My kit is contained in
a very nice zipper case that I just keep in a drawer of my computer desk so
that it's handy when I need it. I strongly encourage anyone with a computer
to invest in one of these kits, since you never know when you'll be able to
use it. Just make sure that any kit you buy includes a chip puller and
you'll never again break those fingernails trying to remove a CF card.
