Pocket knife with a very small blade but I only glue my inserts on the sides of the hole.

1/8" wide, flat bladed screwdriver.
Also used for many other bowling purposes.

Thanks for the replies...I have been using a long thin jewelers screw driver to install and remove tape for a few years now, actually cant live with out it.

But here is what I'll be getting for the job of removing the "dead inserts"

A VERY sharp pocket knife and patience. I also make sure to glue the inserts in only the front and back, putting the glue about 1/8 inch down into the hole, which leaves me room to work the top of the insert without cutting it while trying to insert the pocket knife.

The "t" handled ones are better, IMO.

I use the blade on my keychain sized leatherman tool. It works pretty good...but sometimes I need a little more leverage on the handle.

I found this on ebau and was going to buy one:

The Innovative insert puller is top notch. It's all I use. I tried different pullers in the past and the blades bent and then they sucked. I've been using the same Innovative since 2001.   Great product..

It also scapes the old glue away. Best there is IMHO!

Personally I like this one.

It's more a matter of personal preference.

Roger, that looks just like the one I have.  Never knew what brand it was as I picked it up years ago at one of the ABC Nationals booths.  Works well.
