SSD Upgrade - Hard Drive Cloning Solution?

I'm considering upgrading my laptop hard drive to an SSD. There's just one hitch... I can not for the life of me find a good solution for cloning my existing hard drive to a new SSD.

I would like to be able to copy, bit for bit, my entire hard drive to a new SSD (using an external USB enclosure I have on hand) and be able to then stick that SSD in my laptop and boot from it as normal. I've been Googling left and right and can't seem to find anything that will do this.

Can anyone make a recommendation that will be as painless as possible?

    I have been very well-served by Acronis TrueImage. It isn't free but I think they have a free trial
