I would venture a guess that anyone on this list over 65 has at least one offset wrench that has been bent or cut and welded to be used as a distributor wrench. If you haven't seen it in a while it is probably sitting on a shelf behind that dusty dwell meter that you may never use again but remember how much you payed for it so can't bear to throw it away.Yep , I have a few spanners/ sockets that have been bent / cut / welded for jobs

Drove VW beetles back in the day.

LOL ... I have the dwell meter (somewhere) for the boat before this one. Never needed the distributor wrench yet.

That distributor is on the fritz again. Replaced the vacuum advance and leads this month. Put an HEI distributor in its place while I find the rest of the parts it needs.
