Easy-install wall hooks: where to get?

A couple years ago one of my customers (handyman) had me hang a mirror in her home, and gave me a type of hook I'd never seen before. Amazingly simple and effective: it was a large curved piece of hardened steel wire with a sharp point at one end and a hook at the other. One simply jammed it into a wall (drywall, not old-style plaster), pushed it through, and voila! a strong hook ready to hang stuff on.
I remember she said she got it at Home Despot, I think. Thing is, I've looked for these hooks since and have never seen them anywhere. They might have been advertised on TV as well. Had a catchy name like "Super Hooks", "Mega Hooks" or some such.
Anyone seen these? Know where to get them? I'd like to have a supply on hand. For simple tasks like hanging anything heavier than a picture on a wall, they're the best I've seen.

"Wikipedia ... it reminds me ... of dogs barking idiotically through
endless nights. It is so bad that a sort of grandeur creeps into it.
It drags itself out of the dark abyss of pish, and crawls insanely up
the topmost pinnacle of posh. It is rumble and bumble. It is flap and
doodle. It is balder and dash."
