A friend had one in his tank recovery vehicle in the Gulf War.

"never seen one? we had 2 per tank in my unit in germany in 1975' I know they were still authorized for M88 Recovery Vehicle crews into the 1990s. Not sure if/when they were phased out completely.

"About 700,000 were produced at a unit cost of around $20 each."
And yet, I don't have one. Even $200 sounds good.
