No idea about name or where to find. I have one with "Kingston" on it (evidently from one of their Evergreen products). Tbh though, I'd just as soon use a knife. Use a plastic knife if you want to be sure you don't damage stuff.

Let's be realistic, it's hard to find specific Intel tools. Therefore you should settle on the next best thing - chip extractor tool.
I must be some kind of standard: the anonymous gangbanger of the 21st century.

That one is intended to remove PLCC chips from their sockets. This one might make it a bit easier:

the Intel tool grips the first row of pins on socket 7, but I am curious is this a custom socket? as far as I know everything socket 3 + is a zif with a leaver

I wish I had used an extractor tool on a recent 8088 pull, I'm guessing it's still functional put I did a number on one row of pins.

Its a socket7 NON ZIF coming from a SBC where the space is very important. I think is not really uncommon, is like a 386DX socket but with a Pentium pin number.

As an alternative, have you tried modding an old expansion slot cover?
You could even Dremel in a few teeth if it would make it better.
