Ever stumble across an item that worked so flawlessly you wanted to tell everyone about it? I don't mean for this to be an advertisement as I have absoulutely no connection to the company, just relating a personal experience that I want to share.
I picked up a 2-ton Wyeth-Scott power puller at a recent estate sale for $15. It was covered in surface rust but looked like a heck of a come-a-long.
I used it for the first time a couple of weeks ago to pull a Jeepster Commando onto a tandem trailer. Super easy to crank and worked better than I expected. It worked so well that I picked up another over this past weekend after spotting it at a flea market. It was $20.
It's the same design they've been making for years so parts are readily available from their website should a spring or something else need replacing. If you see a used one at a good price, grab it. You won't be disappointed.
I plan on putting one in each of my Jeeps.

We have used these for years,red devils are what we always called them.Growing up working in the oilfields,we would never be without a red devil,heavy chain and a handy man jack,with these we could move,lift roll back onto the wheels ( interesting story) and they were indestructible.
