Ok, thanks!

Any specific tool that is really popular around here? (Other than

The best tool is the Bergeon 6767. Get the wide tip for straps and the fine tip for bracelets.

You can buy the Bergeon 6767 here... http://www.thestrapshop.co.uk/pages/access/tools.html. It comes with both the wide and narrow forked ends as well as the attachment for removing links from bracelets. It's excellent.
