Awesome! I have a set of their screw drivers and love them. In fact I used a Wiha flat-head to pull the chips on the board. This looks even better. May have to scoop that up.I greatly prefer this over both an extractor or a screwdriverUsing the right tool always helps!

If you're not careful with a flathead or something you can cut traces under the eproms trying to pry them up. That being said, being very careful I've used eyeglass screwdrivers in the past without an issue. You just need to go slow, lift only a tiny bit at a time and alternate sides, while being very mindful of where the tip likely is as you don't want to scrape the PCB under the eprom.
