I have one that comes with an Amazon purchased watch repair set, that is useless. So I have been looking on-line, but most of the ones I see can go up to 34 mm (which would only open 20% of my watches).

What is everybody using out there? Any advise?

I have tried many different tools over the years.
My favorite is the inflatable ball! This leaves absolutely no marks on the watch, and even opens some of my Rolex watches!  Seeing is believing.  Just make sure you buy the good quality version.  The cheap ones don't work as well.

I agree, these work great, have yet to find a back I couldn't remove with it

Another vote for the ball openers, though in my experience they don't always work they do in most cases, esp. with larger cased watches. They never leave marks, slip, scratches, etc.
