Last Toolsday (a.k.a. Tuesday), we asked you to identify a piece of machinery with a liquid reservoir on top. Many people thought it was a laminator or some kind of printing machine. Both are sort of close, but not really. It is a bookbinder’s gluing machine. The reservoir holds water to help keep the viscosity of the adhesive consistent.
We randomly picked one winner out of all last week’s comments and that lucky person is 4EyesJim who thought it was a glueing machine. Congratulations 4EyesJim, you’ve got one week to reply to the email that we sent you before we pick another winner.
Next Tuesday, we will be giving away a Milwaukee cordless drill driver. This 3/8″ drill is powered by a lithium ion battery that gets to a full charge in just 30 minutes. Its compact, lightweight design delivers 250 lbs of torque and it is the only tool in its class with an all-metal locking chuck. The on-board fuel gauge displays remaining battery time, and the built-in L.E.D. light illuminates your work surface.
To win the Milwaukee cordless drill driver, post a comment (click “comment” above) and tell us what the old tool pictured below is used for. You don’t have to answer correctly to win; we will randomly pick one winner.
Have you got a honey-do list the length of your arm and don’t know where to begin? We’ve compiled a list of some of the most common household fixes and put together easy step-by-step instructions just so you can “git r done”. We’ve covered plumbing tasks like toilet repair and clogged drains; how to unstick a stuck window, how to replace a cracked tile, and even how to fix furniture that your dog chewed up.
On Tuesday, March 20, we will select the winner then start up a new giveaway for another tool, which will be given away the Tuesday after that.
You have until March 20, 2012, 2:00pm (ET) to enter to win the Milwaukee cordless drill driver.
It's a wife trainer that also looks like some sort of stitching tool
guitar case?
I'm thinking it is a depth gauge of some sort. It looks like the point is set at the lowest area and the other side slides up to allow for the height of the other area.
seriously, are you kidding me. domestic violence is not topic to joke about
maybe used in leather work
ice pick
Its a paddle for spanking. If there's more than one miscreant, it splits in two. One for each hand.
of course it looks like a paddle but I’m gonna guess some sort of fireplace tool
Is it a form for a Bass Guita
r
It's used to make yarn out of wool.
A very complex shoehorn
it is a clamp or a old fashion carving tool because of the pointed metal tip at the end of the tool
I think it has to do with musical instruments…
Maybe something to do with planing mold or trim?
Used as a form for the construction of a guitar
Since it doesn't have a lot of depth I am going to guess and say that is a mold of some sort, like for pouring molten metal in to form some kind of shape. That was my best guess..
Clamp, but can not really tell. It is probably a lot smaller than I think.
wooden template
Going to agree with the wooden template. Has what looks like nails in end and side so must sit in or on something.
Some sort of clamping device
Looks like some sort of clamp.
A safety device to help you climb out of water if you fall through the ice.
I think it's an old tennis racket form. But what do I know?
A guitar body form.
looks like a form used to clamp wood together for a hairbrush
clamp
I would like to see the photo blown up a bit more. It's hard to make out some of the metal work. I'm going to guess a device used to expand forms of some sort. Perhaps when making garments, like a form for bell bottoms or something.
I think its used to hold the front and back of a instrument in place while its glue is drying.
agree a Mandolin or some sort. It, has a Nail/and/hook at the top to hold in a place for balance. Then a slide whick looks like a clamps but, if you look close it is sliding back and forth,,could be for making a simple knotch to drill out holes later. and up the handle,, it is balanced looking or centered. HUMMMM> We could be right!
Looks like a clamp of sorts…or something you'd threaten to reach for when you kids got out of hand….
It looks like a old device used to paddle a child's behind.
something to hold a music instrument
