More Whatizits

[stevasaurus 22,230]

Would the bits for it be for wire rounding? 

 

BTW Cas....love those devises for carrying those 5 gallon carboys.    or should I

No. Think function for both uses. 

Caboys are not easy to carry when they are full. Makes it real easy.

Cas, it is a rain day here.  I've been searching all afternoon and come up blank...kind of...I know I could use this for not what it was intended for.  You are correct, you either know what this is used for or you don't.  I do not know.  I did find a lot of pin vises that were knurled or machined like your example...makes me think it is from the same company.  Just no cigar.

It is from a pocket watch. These things were many times made out of gold.

Looks like a valve gag for preventing a steam safety valve from lifting during testing.

For the M16, M4, and their variants. 

[formariz 11,849]

You guys are giving up? It is for a pockets watch and...... What does a watch need to work?

A round one? Ok.

Springs...

[Mows4three 825]

Got it.   I'll bet this is for pressing the hands onto the center spindle thingy of a watch.....   Am I close?

Not yet. Think of the two functions. Watch needs what to work? Also how was a pocket watch used?

[Pullstart 59,734]

It’s for pulling the winding button and then winding.  That’s my final answer!  Unless I’m wrong!

[Stormin 9,975]

Does it attach to the watch fob chain at one end and goes through a button hole? Are the jaws for gripping when replacing drive wheels?

Bingo on the second function. It was also decorative and functional in attaching to a garment.  Not the correct answer on jaws which are the most important function.

It’s a watch key, the loop is for holding the chains, the jaws are for winding and setting the watch to the proper time. 

 

That was my train of thought when I mentioned tension. I guess I should’ve been more specific, but vagueness can reveal a lot 🤷🏻‍♂️😂

Correct. It is a pocket watch T Bar Key. Earlier watches used a key rather than a knob to wind mechanism. Key could also be used to adjust hands to correct time. In addition to that it was attached to chain allowing it to be fasted to garment . Very convenient. @LengerichKA88 and @Stormin share the prize. And that is the next Whatizits.

Welcome back. Its just not the same without you. What did you catch?

[LengerichKA88 1,881]

This one might be a little easier, but we shall see. 

This tool serves two purposes, let’s see if one person can figure out both.

I've got that one. But I'm going to let others go for it.

Maybe somebody can break in and cut to the chase..

[Sarge 3,462]

Emergency escape tool - the cutter is for cutting a jammed seat belt, and the pointed end is for breaking automotive type glass. Most of those tools don't have the weight to break the glass, just fyi.

Thanks,   I caught up on some memories with 10 good friends. A  very large gobbler did put on a show of strutting and answering my calls for 1 hour and 50 minutes.   I was enjoying the show so much, I forgot I was there to bring home the turkey.   He eventual got tired of the game and walked away.   

[Ed Kennell 35,809]

Looks like @Sarge is up to post the next one.

[Sarge 3,462]

I was going to chime in on the rifle accessory - but figured that one wasn't fair, lol.

 

I'll have to think about it and do some digging later on today. Most likely an old tool, hmmm....

Issued gear is the only advantage I have on most of you guys 😂

 

The one we were issued looked more like a 1911 Bushing wrench in shape and size. I did get it to break glass, but not until the 3rd or 4th strike. This one seems to be a better design, allowing for better grip and leverage. Still probably too light as you mentioned though.
