I'll post the answer when I think about it if somebody doesn't guess it first.
It is a handy little fucker, though.
It's about 6 inches long and the biggest hole is about as big around as your little finger.
I got tired and posted the answer in the comments at the bottom, right after Hiswiserangel's and rpm2day's flirting with each other.
That'll teach her to backsass me......
that an old wire stripper?
ReplyDeleteLiberal castrator?
ReplyDeleteDick Pillory. Left index finger in left hole, right index finger in right hole, dick in center hole. Prevents masturbation.
ReplyDeleteJust a guess.. a homemade joint rolling helper?
ReplyDeleteA gauge for wire / cable? I have seen a similar tool used for twisting wire when fencing, but with a snap clamp opposite the hinge.
ReplyDeleteHalf a tubing flaring kit.
ReplyDeleteNope six times but a couple of you were close - not you, Bob.
ReplyDeleterpm2day - that's the complete tool but you're right, it does look like something out of a flaring kit.
But it COULD be used as a Liberal castrator, right? I mean, the holes might be a little big for some of them, but....
ReplyDeleteIt COULD also be used to smack impertinent redheads in the forehead with, but that ain't what it was designed for.
ReplyDeleteNow hush or you're banned. Again.
Yes Sir. Zipping it now.
ReplyDeleteNo you're not. You're gonna come back in about 5 minutes with another smartass remark or have MissK do it for you which coincidentally is why I generally ban you in pairs, and then I'm going to get all worked up in a dither. Or a tizzy or whatever the fuck it is. Oh yeah, I'm gonna get huffy and.... goddammit, where's my fucking xanax? I'm heading this shit of at the Pass.
ReplyDeleteOld school bullet puller/seater
ReplyDeleteWhatever it is, it's home made.
ReplyDeleteSomething to do with reloading?
ReplyDeleteIt's for crimping lead sleeves on cable to form endloops.
ReplyDeleteI'll just guess quietly today... don't feel like being smacked... in the forehead.
ReplyDeleteName that tool... Joe Biden?
ReplyDelete~ducking behind the couch~
OK. It looks possibly home made. I don't see blood or indications of being heated. No animal hair or bone fragments. Can't tell if the holes are tapered. With you it makes sense that it would be related to fishing or hunting but I'm not sure.
ReplyDeleteI'll toss out that it's a crimp of some sort.
Hose ring crimping tool.
ReplyDeletegsebes
meow!
ReplyDeleteAnd is there a prize for the right answer? Like an AR 15 or some shit?
ReplyDeleteGODDAMMIT!!!!
ReplyDeleteSEE!!!!
bwahaha
ReplyDeleteGuessing games are fun Wirecutter... you should do this again :-)
ReplyDeleteOkay, now I'm done. Really. Unless you challenge me again. Besides, Joe Biden is the biggest tool I can think of.
ReplyDeleteTwisting barbed wire back into shape
ReplyDelete"or have MissK do it for you.." ?? Really Wirecutter :P We do have our own agendas you know, even if we are, awesome as a pair... ;-)
ReplyDeleteHow bout a thread chaset
ReplyDeleteAw, geez, I'm sorry. I don't know what brings the brat out in me. Must have been the full moon last night. What do I need to do to return to a position of favor in the World of Wirecutter?
ReplyDeleteUm, homemade stocks for S&M mice?
A thread chaser? FAIL!!!
ReplyDelete'wiserangel rocks. I'm older than 'cutter and I say so.
ReplyDeleteLooks like a copper tube holder.. like in HVAC work. I had one made by imperial back in the day.
ReplyDeleteTemplar in Georgia
Thank you, rpm, back at ya. ;-)
ReplyDeleteWell, I don't have to post a poll about how many trappers or fur handlers read my blog, do I?
ReplyDeleteIt's a tailbone puller.
You make a cut up from the anus about 3-4 inches, slip half this fucker between the bone and hide, clamp down and pull the bone out of the tail.
Beats the fuck out of a pair of vice grips any day.
Nylon cord works well, too.
ReplyDeleteWhat the fuck do you need to pull a tailbone out for???
ReplyDeleteI gotta think there are better ways of getting tail than _that_, buddy.
ReplyDeleteIt's a coax cable fitting crimper.
ReplyDeleteI'm truly sorry, Mr. Wirecutter, Sir. I have learned my lesson, banishment is cold and lonely. I've been writing 100 times:
ReplyDeleteI will not flirt on wc's blog,
I will not flirt on wc's blog,
I will not flirt on wc's blog....
A tail bone puller for what? Liberals?
ReplyDeleteFor use on liberals right...no i forgot, without a backbone you don't have a tail bone. But, if they did, you would pull it pre or post mortem? I vote for pre.
ReplyDeleteFor liberal coyotes - that's the only kind I shoot.
ReplyDeleteI can tell they're liberal because I'm calling them in with a hurt rabbit squall and they think they're getting a free meal.
Oh, that reply is too good for the comments, I'm gonna turn that into a post.
home made pex crimper
ReplyDeletegone for 24 hr and you've posted shitloads!
Now I gotta find a new girlfriend, damn.
ReplyDeleterpm2day,
ReplyDeleteYou can always come to Banishment Camp on visiting day.
HWA
HWA
ReplyDeleteWell, I'll get right duded up then missy.
Will. You. Two. PLEASE! do your rutting and courting over at Sam's or Miss Violet's?
ReplyDeleteI'm trying to keep things calm, rational and educational over here and you ain't helping.
~blushing~ I'm so going to get you in trouble. Have you ever been banned before?
ReplyDeleteOK...:(
ReplyDeleteI still gotta meet both of you characters in person before I clock out for good.
And I think it's gonna take two men and a boy (as my late dad used to say) to handle HWA!
PLEASE don't suggest that RPM.
ReplyDeleteOh God.....
Oops, sorry, rpm, His Lord and Liege has spoken.
ReplyDeleteNope, just one good True Man, honest, strong, not afraid to be the Man God created him to be. That should be more than enough to keep me happy. :-) And I'd love to meet you too.
ReplyDeleteWirecutter, you know you're grinning right now, so take that sanctimonious stick out of that cute little tush and get with the program.
Hey! I am spoken for, you know....
ReplyDeleteHey rpm2day, where the fuck are you, man?
I wasn't inviting you to join, wc, just get out of the way. ;-) Sheesh, I'm not THAT kind of girl.
ReplyDeleteHWA
ReplyDeleteA handshake will do. Some day. I just felt the need to assign a face to all this wittiness. No offense intended.

ReplyDeleteA record, even for you, Wiserangel.
Damn, what a firecracker.
ReplyDeleteHow far is Texas and how many days off do I have left?
OK, out for good.
Please? Just one more?
ReplyDeleterpm, I'd be honored with a handshake, but you'll get a hug before we part.

WC, I'll leave you alone, goodnight all.
I can't speak for Sam, but y'all leave me out of this. ROFLOL!
ReplyDeleteMiss Violet
Hear ye! Hear ye! Miss V is going to be starting a Liberty Love Lonely Hearts dating service, where the term III to III takes on a WHOLE new meaning. Actually not a bad idea, come to think on it...
ReplyDeleteIf thats an extra one the wife could use a donation for her skinnin kit. swear i got more dead animal hides than meat in the freezer. fox tail, bobcat and 2 rattlesnakes she skinned out so far...
