Trim Removal Tools

What's the best trim removal tool / tools you guys use?

Something like the 'Hilka' 10 in 1 thing from screwfix or a set of what appears to be the plastic usually about 5 - piece set, like the one at Machine Mart (going to my 'local' one tomorrow for a new trolley jack!).

I'd be interested to hear your thoughts on what works best from experience!
