Fret Pullers

Nothing too special here, just the normal flush cutting end nipper:
Sharp enough to grip under most any fret, it's the first tool I turn to for pulling frets. It's really more of a "biting" action as I grip the fret and the jaws wedge the fret upward.
Sometimes, I like to have a little extra support as I pull frets, so I ground the cutting edges blunt on this pair:
When the first bite with the sharp tool doesn't raise the fret high enough, I can use the blunt one to raise the fret higher while still holding potential fingerboard chips in place.
