I broke down and bought two burr-aways. Felt like an idiot for paying ~$60ea for glorified drill bits that won't even drill, but they are fast and can reach the back sides of holes. I don't know where people are buying them, but MSCdirect.com had the best price I found...
Before that, I had a stubby drill bit mounted in a length of fish-tank tubing (flexible vinyl hose) for reaching tight spots. It kinda worked.
For hand deburring I had a much easier time with a "standard" drill bit (#13 range, though the size doesn't really matter in this particular case) than any of the countersink-style deburring tools like in your picture. The drill bit did a better job too.
