I just tested this Chinese tool (mentioned above by @JohnFrum) and can recommend it for people having a limited tool budget. You can remove/install roller tables and install hair springs.

The quality is decent for around 40 bucks.

I just picked up one of these tools as mentioned in another thread.  Am I able to use it to remove hairsprings as well as installing them?

edit: I think I can also use the v grooves on this to remove the friction pinion in the third wheel of the as1900 movement I have.

This tool provides a good base for securely resting the balance while lifting the hairspring collet with levers or installing it with one of the provided punches.

Thanks. I’ll look at getting some levers.

Yes it should work for that purpose too.
