the most used tool i ever made is a 1/2 inch drive 5/8ths spark plug socket cut in half. a must have tool. i even painted it bright green so i can always find it in the tool box

OK, I give up. What are some uses?
Is it cut in length or to open the side?

They are selling chinese wheels now ,look a little flimsy but I guess they are allright for hobby use, you have to put in a lot of time before you get the hang of it, I have had mine for years and I m still just a beginner
