Nope.
I kinda expected they wouldn't sell the part so wouldn't bother to reply.

I bet that these all come from different factories in the Far East, made from different sets of drawings etc. which might or might not originally have been a copy of something decent.
I'm pretty sure they come from the same factory or at least most of them. It's OEM is a Taiwanese company I no longer remember a name of. They were re-branded by a crapload of western companies.
Edit: I think it is KYPTOOL.

I've been using that pair of Irwin (vise grip) strippers for over a decade and they're rock solid. No dings in the jaws either.


I did notice though in the OP's photos that the adjustment screw is cranked down to max. If it was set that far down, it would explain why the jaws got chipped.
