I have the seal puller that Rattler showed ... works well!

... but sometimes you need to use the drywall screw and the 1 LB dent puller .... :)

I recently got a Chinese version of the uber-expensive Stihl puller, but have yet to try that one.
Pics of the Chinese version puller, maybe a link to it

Someone around here is showing a really nice scraper. At the moment, I'm using what the Briggs engine school recommended in a pinch. Light switch blanks have a good sharp edge for cheap and won't scratch the aluminum. Of course, they don't last long but if you don't open many engines or only use for very small applications like a carb, they come in handy.

I can't even afford the grease rag that he had the crank setting on, let alone the tool box.:D

I got tired of using a screwdriver or a putty knife to scrape clean my chain saw's bar grooves. The putty knife was too thin and the taper on the screwdrivers never got square to the bottom of the groove. I stumbled onto a length of angled strap steel that was 0.05" thick. Then I drilled mounting holes in the steel, hook shaped the end, and fastened it to a short length of hardwood:




Rather amazing how much better this works. I believe Stihl sells something like this, but this was a good rainy day project. I actually made two of them and gave one to a logger friend. Since this Pic was taken, I've drilled a 1/4" hole in the wooden end and added a 10" length of nylon cord in a loop for hanging it up.

I have a raker gauge with hooks for that on one end.

Ever notice how many older Stihl fuel caps and bar oil caps all get messed up by burly sawyers using a scrench to tighten or loosen them? Some are actually broken in half or get so boogered up that the the scrench won't even work after awhile. I decided to make my own cap twister:






I shaped the 1/8" thick steel end with a grinder to fit caps for an 024 and an 066. That way I would know that all the bases were covered. The hardwood handle is a must. How you fasten the steel to the handle is your business and mine.
