No, No, and Yes, rice is grown in paddies.  Hambugers are grown in pastures.   :lol:

Keep trying.

Rachet on a tiedown?

[pnaberhaus]

Teeth on a pawl?

[JetSwing]

is it a hand tool?

[GeeP]

is it a hand tool?

It is a tool.

It can be used by hand, or with a machine.

[Alphamazing]

It looks like the teeth on a set of vice grips.

[RVertigo]

It's gears or ratcheting/locking teeth on something...

Something rusty...

[Roadstergal]

Teeth on pliers?  Clamps?

[davipu]

they look more like channel lock teeth to me.

[GeeP]

Nope.  Not jaws of any kind.  It isn't rusty either.  Technically, the ridges aren't even called teeth.  I'm probably going to give this away now...

[clue=1]It's just dirty from sitting in a drawer with lots of others just like it.  They make special cabinets to hold these things.[/clue]

[clue=2]Thy make special removers for these things in case you break one off.[/clue]

[clue=3]Most shops that use these will have a good sized stock of them.  The next size up or down is just as useless as not having any.  (relates to #1) [/clue]

a tap?

[Roadstergal]

The clues point that way, but I've never seen a tap that looks like that...

If that's not it, does it have anything to do with locks?

[GeeP]

a tap?

We have a winner!

[davipu]

i guess then we'll need a new pic...

[davipu]

the clue is in the properties.

[Alphamazing]

Hmm, and for some reason when David said "a tap" I was dead sure he was thinking "beer"...

[Roadstergal]

A toe.

[zukiGS500]

6 toes to be exact, from some type of living creature
