Well well. Just saw this gizmo.  it looks pretty neat:

Haven't tried it, but I probably will next time I need to pull frets.

They work. I seldom need one, but when I do....

They're not a panacea, but they can help sometimes. Usually by the time you get a fret up to where you can slide that guard underneath it, the damage is already done. Sometimes, sliding that guard underneath the frets finishes tearing out what's already started. But, I still use them if for no other reason than to keep the pullers from denting up the fretboard.
