Dod... an old bonnet stay cut down can be a substitute for a bonnet pin removal tool.

Draper do one but it is very easy to bend it and knacker the screw on bits.

wheel pullers often pop up on e-bay, the factors near me does a nice looking one for about ?15, But I made my own a while ago from scrap plate and old head bolts that does the job well enough, could do with being a bit neater though. Other tan that I normally go to halfords for sockets and bits, they're range of screwdrivers seem pretty good too, I got a T25 driver from them a couple of years ago and it's still got a decent head on it even after lots of abuse changing up to 100 fridge doors over a day.
