Last Toolsday, we posted a photo of a strange-looking pair of tongs with little feet on the bottom and asked you to identify it. We had a variety of answers, everything from shoe stretcher to a door stop. But the correct answer is a pike gag, which is used to hold a fish’s mouth open so a fisherman (or fisherwoman) can remove the hook without being bitten.
We randomly picked one winner out of all last week’s comments and that lucky person is Wallace, who thought it was a gripper or some type of clamp. Congrats Wallace, you won even though you were wrong; you have exactly one week to reply to our email before we pick another winner.

I used something like that years back to hold a drive shaft in place.
A carpenter would use this to anchor like the post or pole to the bottom of a bar stool or maybe even to anchor the bottom of a table.
It looks like something a chimney installer might use.

It looks like the bottom view of an insert used on a bullet clamping machine. It would rotate after each time it clamps the metal bullet into a casing.
