They are great for aircraft, a similar one was Dixie.

The absolute best wrenches ever made for airline work were Bonney. Sadly
out of business, and if you can find used ones, they're high.

So, what is it that makes so good for aircraft?

They made some combination wrenches with very thin walls on the box end.
There's lot's of tight clearance locations on Boeings. Never had a wall
crack on them. Their hydraulic line wrenches would never spread open no
matter what torque you put on them. I guess it's a subjective thing, but I
always believed them to be the best for aircraft work.
