In the 60s early 70s some places not only carried good tools they had a line of shit tools at extremely good prices. If you were not a serious mechanic or need basically a use it once tool they were perfect. The name of the tools was Globemaster and many stores keep them in buckets.

Doing specialty work at my buddy's speed shop/garage we used those tools to make one of wrenches. Like some sparkplugs or other bolts hard to reach because of headers or other mods. I cut down,bent, modified a bunch of them wrenches.
