I highly recommend Richard Sleigh's book "How to turbocharge your 
harmonica". All the really important things you need to know about 
servicing your harps are explained there in detail. He advertises his 
toolkit in that book, and (though there are other  very good toolkits 
available, like the one sold by Harponline and Seydel) it's very good 
too, so consider ordering it along with the book.
