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.
a hair brush for those people that are bald.
If it is very small, it could be a tool to press the edges out when you sew inside out. If larger, seems like a clamp.
It's a pan-galactic hemulator, of course!
Guitar mold/spreader
Some sort of measuring device.
A scratch awl
It is some sort of clamping tool….shaped like a guitar so I'm gonna guess it has something to do with that!
used to glue a violin together
Some type of clamp, want to get the drill, thanks!!
Paddle Clamp used to hook wool rugs.
It is a rug hooking tool.
Might I mention the resemblance to a guitar (minus the strings)? However, it looks like some type of clamp to keep items straight while fastened.
I also believe it is a wooden hooked rug maker, love to win the cordless drill driver, thanks!!
Looks like a device to scribe marks onto a board
This highly resembles "the board of education" our high school coach used in gym class on those who failed to follow instructions.
Looks like a musical instrument building tool
got me
It's a rug making tool. The point penetrates the material and the loop holds the yard, thread or fabric. It slides back and forth to weave the rug.
I think a form for bending guitar bodies into the right shape is as good a guess as any.
It is definately a shapely corset mold device for fabricating corsets!
It looks like an oar!
Form cutter to make blocks of ice. That's my guess.
paddle to mix butter
yup your right its a rug making tool
Thats what my mom used to paddle my behind!!!
