Seem to remember they were sold by Western Auto or similar stores. Of course, pushing 80yrs old the memory may not be too good anymore.

Thanks for the reply, the beast I'm dealing with now is not charging..think I burnt the voltage regulator if that's what it is called gotta, well gonna go buy a new one. Figured it was a borgwarner r220

WHATEVER it is it sure has sticky tires!

I remember the Wizards being sold at Western Auto Stores, but didn't pay much attention to them. Probably a Simplicity model of some kind, as they made items for just about anyone that would give them a production run. LE

Yup . I have Wizard tools from Western Auto ....

It appears to be a Gilson C10, badged as a Wizard. Gilson was a contract company and built their equipment with different badges and
colors for others as well as marketing under their own name. Gilson also built this model with Montgomery Ward badges and colors for a
year or two before the S series was introduced. Gilson built the S series as a Wards model from '68 until the late 70's.

"Sticky tires" relates to the orientation of your photos and that it appears to be sticking to a vertical service. In the words of Foghorn Leghorn..."it's a joke, son!"

To some people, your pics are showing up sideways. Youre probably seeing them fine. Its a problem with the forums, not you.
