I have one of these exact tools and I would highly recommend them, they are so much more PCB friendly than a standard screwdriver.
Advice to the audience as I think Ian already knows about these tools:
If you're swapping ROMs or chips around, spend ~£10 on a Wera P/N 127456 "Kraftform 1429". It's sold as either the "Micro Chip Lifter" or the "Lifting Fork".

It should be fairly obvious how this is used and why it causes less damage than a screwdriver might...
