And what is 'a good tool' to you? How do you want it to work? Is it enough to remove HPA, or do you need help in 'accessing' the area as well?
Linux hdparm does the job for me, but I don't know about you … (so just about any bootable Linux distro works)
If you want to image the HPA along with the rest of the disk, using Guymager on one of the many forensic Linux Distro's should work, I personally like DEFT.
However this will only work (AFAIK) if you have a sata connection to the hard disk as certain low level commands have to be used. If you have the disk connected through a USB writeblocker for example, I'm not sure it can be done.
