Is the need enough? Or does the want suffice?

Says Urrea Mexico on the puller. Proto and Urrea had a relationship at one time

Some of the Urrea tools I've ran across were decent quality tooling. I would imagine the puller would be the same. I doubt I would pay as much for the Urrea over the Proto tho.

That puller was originally made as Plomb, then later Proto. Excellent puller, but dang, not exactly cheap! I doubt the name on it matters though I suspect it would be just as good even though not wearing the Proto name.

Considering the relationship between Plomb/Proto and what is now Urrea not surprising at all. Probably even has the same part numbers.

Yeah, I'm not surprised at all either.  But I will say if it wasn't for Strik, I wouldn't have known of the Urea/Proto connection
