I sharpen a small screwdriver on a whetstone and use it as a chisel to break IC chips loose from RAM. Maybe not the right tool but works great. I think the screwdriver is easier to grasp and readily takes a sharper angle. I'm not hitting it hard - mainly using it to "cut" the solder on 1 or 2 sides (half of the soldered sides), then twist the chip.
