Also make sure you go all the way around the wheel ensuring that you press the tyre bead out of the hook and into the central channel in the rim, both sides. Or it won't be easy to get it off

i prefer the plastic/metal ones that Condor sell in store under their name.
Pedros as said above work welll and are super strong, but the plastic is tougher and possibly more damaging to rims.

Cool it is interesting to hear this and fairly reassuring as it makes me think I wasn't doing anything completely thick by the road side yesterday. The tyres have a lot of life left so it isn't economical for me to switch to tubeless now but this is something I will strongly consider when this current set start to die.
In the meantime, I will invest in a sturdier set of tyre levers (welcome any suggestions) and pray for the best! Maybe start training the strength in my thumbs/hands
