Sounds like something out of a porno.

Wifes surprised there's a company called King Dick, let alone they make a Stud spanner.

Does sound comical, to us with smutty minds.

View attachment 280607And a solid toolbox earliest sticker on the other side dates 1972, so three years younger than me.

The " Let Your Fingers Do The Walking " sticker was from a television commercial advert for Pacific Bell Telephone. It promoted "The Yellow Pages", which was the telephone book for business contacts. I did construction projects for Pac Bell in the late 1970's.

When I worked for Farnell, we used to find "interesting" product names to pass around:
"Nut Spinners"
"Nipple Clamps"

Are the only two I remember (it is nearly 20 years ago )

It was also the yellow pages advert in the uk, in the 1980s and 1990s as I recall

Some of the adverts were... .odd

Today I Acquired....

A bargain.

Imperial spanners and bits and bobs.

Two miles up the road, less than £20 quid the lot. He had to be forced to take it.

Nice haul, but why £20?

Well €20 euros, not even £20, easy comparison for those not familiar with the rate to the Euro / Pound.
