pull the beads into the middle of the rim to make the tyre loose and it will come off with any tyre levers. If i do that to dual ply maxxis i can get them off with my hands.

Ok, to save the stupid unconstructive 'you're doing it wrong comments' shall we assume everyone on here has a vague idea of how to change a tyre and is just using brute force for the hell of it and wants a stronger lever or just leave something constructive like rob and charlie?

My apologies, I had assumed in my original post I had provided quite enough detail for anyone to be able to find the two videos via google, or indeed any search engine. However, since it appears people need spoonfeeding...

Both pretty much the same thing - its all about gathering slack.

Sorry, was you I meant rather than rob for the video! But cheers anyway, I shouldn't imagine anyone on here has any problem using tyre levers, I was just after starting the thread to find the best ones for the job that will last long enough!
