Hardly anyone correctly guessed the identity of last week’s Toolsday mystery gadget — it was a bracelet form used by a jewelry maker. A lot of people thought it was part of a car brake, and quite a few thought it had something to do with plumbing, and many others guessed that it was a piece of a router.
We randomly picked the winner from all the comments, and that lucky person is Jane, who thought it was a seal for a toilet. Not even close, Jane, but you still win. You have one week to reply to our email before we pick another winner.
Next Tuesday, we will be giving away a Grip-Rite Framing Nailer. This powerhouse tool can handle the toughest framing applications, but its lightweight housing and ergonomic design make it easy to use for hours at a time. The Grip-Rite shoots 2-inch to 3-1/2-inch paper tape collated, clipped head nails. It has an aggressive toe nailing claw for easy toe nailing and it comes equipped with a rotating rafter hook.
October 31 is not that far off, it’s time to start decorating and planning your Halloween bash. We’ve got cute decorating projects that cost no more than $5 and they’re easy-peasy to put together. If you’re throwing a kid’s party we’ve got fun ways to decorate and yummy treats for the little ones. For the adults, find cocktail recipes and ideas for creating a spooky beverage bar.
To enter the Grip-Rite Framing Nailer giveaway, post a comment (click “comment” above) and tell us what these strange-looking things (pictured below) are used for? You don’t have to answer correctly to win; we will randomly pick one winner from this post. 
On Tuesday, October 2, 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 October 2, 2012, 2:00pm (ET) to enter to win the Grip-Rite Framing Nailer.







Used for making ball bullets from lead.
I DONT KNOW WHAT IT IS,BUT I NEED ONE.
It's an old antique pitcher you serve beer out of and it's an old antique hammer you use to hammer molds to make beer.
Used for hot lead.
brass gun powder measure
Whiskey.
Melting metal holders…
Used for measuring and pouring liquid metals.
A gavel
Melt small amounts of metal
It is a scoop and pour mallet with interchangeable tapping base for liquid metal.
Looks a mold of some type.
might be used for lead bullet pours but that wood is uncharred. I'd be more like to say melting wax for a seal
It's for making bullets.
Used to pour small amounts of metal.
Gun powder measures.
For pouring molten lead
For pouring metals
lead pourer/hammer
pouring hot metal
I'd have to go with the "low melting point metal ladle" group, myself
I totally agree with everyone!!
Looks kinda like a powder measure.
I can see the form in the top for pouring a liquified something…
Maybe, a bullet or shell casing maker…
Thanks, Cindi
