Yes, I have it and the 3 leg version. I'm pretty sure there's a name on mine so when I get back I'll get that info for you.

the two-jaw is a model # 255 Indestro
the three-jaw would be a # 256 Indestro

no problem.
that is one damn good puller.
there was a photo posted here by another member where one of the jaws had one end snapped off - I don't think I would have wanted to be around when that happened -
can't recall that we ever got any of those back for "warranty" other than the ones where some jackass put an impact gun on them and buggered up the threads.
Indestro made some fine pullers.

Sorry for the delay knurledNut, I got busy then when I checked I found they weren't stamped either. Then I racked my brain trying to remember the manufacturer and couldn't. I knew they were a well known tool maker of the day but that was it.
Thanks four.cycle, now I know too.

Neither of those pullers was stamped with a part number, patent number, or manufacturer's name.
Both had only a small yellow sticker affixed to the yoke with the part number stamped on it.
I believe it was GJ member Coach James was the one who posted photos of his here a while back....

(* again: I should note that I never saw one of those come back as a "warranty" with any of the pieces broken. the only time those ever came back was when they buggered up the threads - generally the screw would be seized in the yoke and the drive end of the screw mushroomed from using an impact gun on them.)
