I've never had good luck with the Stihl or similar seal pullers either, and I've owned both the Stihl version and knock-offs.
I just made my own seal pulling tools by getting a bunch of used flathead screw drivers at a pawn shop for 25 cents each and bending them
into a variety of configurations to suit different motors. In fact, that's a good way to get a lot of the special tools you need for saws - buy used
tools/drivers/sockets at a pawn shop or garage sales and then modify to suit. I have a whole box of "specialty" tools now done that way.
usually...and I stress the "Usually" part...the crank is harder then the tool...My fear was always that I would scar the crank as well. But haven't yet...( knocks on forehead)Got a stihl seal puller lined out. Still need a crankcase splitter though.
I did what your talking about with a couple of 026’s. What I dont like about that is there is a chance I will scar up the case or the crank with a screwdriver. I try to eliminate as much error on my part.

For the record, I like my Stihl puller. The secret to success is to punch one side IN some to break the seal to the case. Then it will easily pull.
