What the F is this thing?

[bioguy]

I'm cleaning up my basement, and I came across this thing:

Anyone know what it is?

If not, please make something up.

 

[b-boy]

It's your basement. You don't know what's down there?

 

[Thunder_Chicken]

Looks like some Klingon melee weapon of some sort.

EDIT: No...might be a Vulcan melee weapon:



EDIT #2: Either that or it is an "adult" toy You naughty dog you!

 

[ChefRex]

fishing pole?

 

[Zuljin]

Oh yeah. That's one of those things. We used to use those a lot. That's a nice one.

 

[drainbamage]

Didn't they use those as weapons on American Gladiators?

 

[Evan_L]

It's an ER extraction tool for the weirdos that shove things in their butt and cant get em out.....why do you have one?

 

[The10mmKid]

That's the best example of a thing-a-ma-jig I've ever seen.
A keeper 'fer sure

'da Kid

 

[Yellowirenut]

Its the new night stick used by the more kinder gentler police state.


OK OK, no one is going to believe the police are going to be kinder and gentler. :cross:

 

[Gar]

i first thought a strut but then in a larger image it looks like a metal ball bat hanging out the end. so maybe a kinder gentler way to beat someone down with a bat

 

[insanim8er]

Actually, it's a tool used in the art of compromising with the swmbo.

See, when swmbo doesn't agree on the new brewing equipment that is a major requirement, this tool is employed. I'm sure there is a hand book on how to use it somewhere on the internet.

 

[Billy-Klubb]

you silly bastards! it's a pudding & cheese sharpener!

 

[bioguy]

b-boy: Yes it's my basement; but I drink, so...

Some good answers. Thanks for the laughs.

My wife figured out what it is. Anybody else want to guess or should I reveal the answer?

 

[landshark]

Electric taser wand with rotation feature. Typically used by more adventurous couples during special times.

Did she enjoy it alone or did she share?:fro:

 

[bioguy]

Oh, she shared bro. :rockin:

 

[insanim8er]

Oh, she shared bro. :rockin:

So it is a big black...

 

[insanim8er]

So it is a big black...

Oh sorry my internet went out as I typed that...

 

[arturo7]

Looks like a directional mic.

Either that a serious d***o.

Can I say that word?

 

[Just-a-sip]

Did she enjoy it alone or did she share?:fro:

i think i just peed myself

 

[betarhoalphadelta]

i think i just peed myself

So *that's* what it's used for?

 

[drainbamage]

Can I say that word?

Apparently not.

 

[Misplaced_Canuck]

Guessing... It's a ratcheting spring compressing tool. I'm not too sure what it's used for, the one for cars beefier, and even motorcycle ones are beefier.

Does the handle turn left to right (or vice-versa) to open + close the jaws?

FYI... You need 2 to get the job done.

[insanim8er]

Oh, she shared bro. :rockin:

Guess its good it flares at the base, so she didn't lose it when it was your turn.

 

[bioguy]

MC

Yep.

 

[FourSeasonAngler]

Looks like a statisfram with a jittid on the bottom.

 

[Misplaced_Canuck]

Yep.

So it's a type of spring or shock absorber compressor of some kind.

Oh, I'm sorry, I meant yep to "Does the handle turn left to right (or vice-versa) to open + close the jaws?"

It is an accessory to a tool that I frequently use to screw and drill.

We realized you used it to screw and drill...

I just pull mine off and toss them to the side.

Guess I can ship them your way since you get more pleasure from them :cross:

 

[vinylrooster]

Kinda looks like the skewer that came with my thule bike rack. It locks onto the fork of your bike on the roof rack. I attached a picture of what I'm talking about

I'm probably wrong, but I have to know what it is now!!

 

[vinylrooster]

Better picture

Oh man, tough crowd. Ha.

Lol.

 

[TxBrew]

Did you pull it out of anything?

 

[insanim8er]

He already posted what it is.

 

[geckholm]

Looks like something you use to drive nails into concrete to set studs for framing. Nail goes in the bottom, a small charge goes in the top (should be a little opening to put it in, you twist the handle to cover it), smack it with a hammer and it concludes with a small explosion driving the nail in the concrete.

 

[geckholm]

or not.
