There are some most commonly used utilites like  RedGate’s SQL Log Rescue and ApexSQL’s ApexSQL Log . Please note i didnot use these tools anytime but these are some tools ig ot to know through forums ...

If you have any perfect backup statergy then it will be quiet easy :

1.Backup the tail of the transaction log using normal BACKUP LOG syntax, and specifying WITH NORECOVERY. For further detail see Tail-Log Backups on MSDN.
2.Restore your most recent full backup, making sure to specify NORECOVERY.
3.Restore the most recent differential backup, also specifying NORECOVERY.
4.Restore each transaction log backup taken since the last full or differential backup.
