After having read how (some?) Stihl dealers refuse to sell Stihl OEM tools to the public, I went ahead and ordered Farmertec mounting tool and seal pullers on November 23rd and received them yesterday.
They look pretty good - fine thread finishing may look somewhat rough but after adding little lithium grease these seem to be perfectly usable, but probably not meant for someone using them every day to make a living.
The black Friday sale price helped alot to make a decision to order now.
Here is an earlier thread discussing OEM tools:

Yes I am aware these are not really necessary and some guys "fix" chainsaws with basic tools like a hammer, torch and couple of screwdrivers etc. but that's not for me.
