WTF do you guys use to remove orings from a golden eagle block? Ive been using a pick and it tends to "damage" the oring groove at the point where you start to peel it out.

 

Do you have any of these brass o-ring picks.

I have some in my desk here at work.

 

solid brass though, seems like that would just fall apart.

 

We have bent the pick one a lot and it has not broken. The other one you could use as a chisel and try to get it under the o-ring.
I have also taken the small craftsman screwdriver, the one you can keep in your shirt pocket, and filed the blade down to make it into a chisel too.
