Some guys will do just about anything to wreck a wrench.

Some people should not be allowed inside a shop.

That is just wrong and poorly made to boot!

Well that's one less I've got to compete with when I go to sell mine.
A person who could really read human minds would be privileged to gaze on some correct imitations of chaos.

The "beauty" of a tool is somewhat in the eye of the tool's user.  Every oddball combination is someone's solution to a problem.   This individual needed a small machinist hammer & 8 inch crescent wrench  in conjunction on a regular enough basis  to sacrifice the 10 inch end of a double ender to provide a more solid anchor point to connect the hammer & wrench.  Myself, I would have aimed the cross pein & flat  hammer faces just 180 degrees opposite, and had the " handle" closer to perpendicular to the hammer.

You just don't see craftsmanship like that very often these days. Thank goodness.

Kinda hard to figure why somebody would do that to wrench like this. If your going to modify a tool out of desperation or an immediate need,why not pick some thing more mundane to ruin. Maybe this was done many years ago when this was a common item, but from what I know, I don't think those were ever a common item.
