Appears to be some good tools available for oil seal removal, has anyone
had any experience with them.

I have a blue point seal puller. Ive used for front seals trans seals.several applications

I have the standard puller from Lisle or whoever, the black handle with 2 different sized picks on the end. common blister-packed tool at all the parts stores. forget what I paid but I am sure it was <$10. works just fine. tools like that are pretty simple and there's not much to them, they pretty much all work...as does a screwdriver

I also have a lisle. Works just fine 99% of the time. Sometimes I use a hammer and chisel to get a gap between seal and bottoming surface if they are really rusted in.

Im sure there are several brands just as good as the blue point.you can probably go to your local advance auto they have a good special tool selection.

I have a bluepoint one, it is just a rebranded Lisle (flat style) at home I have a no-name style one and while it works the ends are softer and bend on the tip.

Even the bluepoint one is under $20.

Before that I used lady slippers and sometimes lady slipper and a pry bar.

Have one similar to the one mentioned in post #3.
Those featured in posts #7 & #8, would be very useful inexpensive additions.
Thanks for your replies.

I have the Craftsman version of that. The long handle gives you nice leverage, but always seems to interfere with me in a way that makes me reach for another tool.

My favorite was something I made from a worn out philips screwdriver. I ground the tip down, and heated and bent it into a hook.

There's also the woodscrew option.

That is why i got that Mac one mentioned above makes all the difference in the world to be able to index them.
