I have the Lisle but it doesn't get used anymore. The blade straightened out and I tossed it in a drawer.
Here's one I made and have used to remove many seals, including two 394 seals last week.

After struggling to find the right tool, I did the same thing as Nmurph. I made my own out of a pocket screwdriver shank and hold it with a vicegrips while tapping the seal out with a small(4oz) hammer.

Been thinking about trying a Lisle. Hell of alot cheaper than that overpriced STIHL puller.
However, I like the nmurph approach. Hey murph....you make me one for a BigMac? :hmm3grin2orange:

If your pulling a lot of seals I think the stihl seal puller is well worth the investment. I can't remember off hand what I paid for it, but it wasn't extremely cheap.

This is why I asked about the tool number. It looked a bit too large
It comes with two hooks, one to grind down and one for bigger seals.

While searching for the Stihl PN for their puller, I found this on YouTube and thought others would be interested as well:

I have one of each and the Stihl puller is really nice and works on any saw seal. The Lisle puller works better it you grind it. The Stihl puller is $185, Lisle was $13, you choose.

Fish....you're a funny guy.
I bought the cheap knock off version of the Lisle puller and have pulled a pile of seals with it including the little 026 FW side seals.
I bought mine from Princess Auto here in Canada which is our equivalent of Harbor Freight.:msp_thumbsup:

Personally, I have used the expensive Stihl crap, other methods were just as easy. Plucking a seal out, and installing a new one, is not that
big of a deal.........
