I am considering investing in one for the toolbox that’s engineered for steel surfaces. Do they save time over razor blade scrapers? What has worked best for you?
I’ve never found a gasket scraper I like. I use the 2” 3M Roloc bristle discs:

The white is the finest grit and the green is the coarsest. I use the finest that works for the situation. Care must be taken to mind the dust, though. They are plastic with abrasive embedded in them, so the dust is abrasive. You have to ensure that you stuff rags in everywhere and vacuum when done because you don’t want that dust in your engine/transmission/diff/TC!
Good 'ol 1" wood chisel...
I use this almost every day for work. Now I’m using it for cleaning up epoxy seams on granite counters but it works great in many situations.

I use these, they have different ways that they attach to the arbor(?), I have the snap in kind. Different sizes and grits as well.

I think you can find them in smaller packages

Looks like a variation of the ones @sab uses?
I‘ve usually used razor blades, but tried those on the water pump and thermostat mounting surfaces the last time I changed them After getting the bulk of it with a razor. Pretty quick and easy and the surface was very smooth. Stuffed rags in openings and vacuumed around the area like someone mentioned earlier. I did get smaller packs of them at Lowes. I think they may have been Craftsman brand.
