The "What Is This?" game

[Janx101]

Cleaning yes... Clippers no ..

Continue .... Too early in process for hints yet 

[Watcher]

Detail brush for cooling fins on the cylinders.

[Janx101]

Nope..... Dirtier and more regular job....

It actually came with some stuff I bought.... Attaches to the main thing.... The end I am holding is hollow....

I thought it was stupid... Till I tried it!

[Watcher]

Brush for a chain cleaner.

[HotrodScamp]

brush attachment for a keyboard vacuum

[Badot]

On the topic, Janx, how much does that extend part usability for you? I've always been on and off considering one but it's hard to justify spending that much just to save myself a little time here and there -- my buying point would be in monetary return.

[Janx101]

Brush for a chain cleaner.

this!!! 

the local bike shop gave me a twin pack deal (clean and lube) on this stuff pictured... the cleaner can came with the brush that goes on the nozzle... i thought it was a crazy idea... till i tried it and 95% of the cleaner spray went on the chain with only minimal overspray 'everywhere else' .. plus (for me anyway) the brush bristles ran along the chain easily and stopped me doing my usual wobble about to coat - the tyre, the swingarm, the ground etc etc etc...



onwards Sir Watcher!! 

... and Badot, i have cleaned and lubed different chains with all kinds of stuff over the years, spray cans are easiest for me now... when i went to the shop for clean and lube stuff .... it would have cost me $48 for the ones i chose off the shelf, the bloke in the shop said try the twin pack for $26!! .. hard to resist a shop owner offering you cheaper stuff!! ... and the cleaner really got into the grot on the chain!! .. the lube also is very good so far (900km ish with a few touch ups after wet riding), with bugger all of it flicking off also! ... probably 'equally the easiest to use and most effective' that i have encountered yet!

Ok, here is a stumper.  We use it at the machine shop almost every day.







See if you can guess what it is, not what we use it for.

[HotrodScamp]

Column shifter. Probably used to line up holes.

Column shifter. Probably used to line up holes.

DAMN!  Good eye!


And actually, no, we don't use it to line holes up.  We use it as a lever to turn the tail-stock handle on a small bench-top lathe we have.

[HotrodScamp]

I drive a '74 Plymouth and see/use a column shifter every day   

I'll look around for something unique to post tonight.

[HotrodScamp]

OK, the Bic lighter is for scale (and a hint) and the second image is for detail...

[codajastal]

Looks like part of a playing card?

[Janx101]

Tarot Card - Death

[HotrodScamp]

Not a playing card or a tarot card. But there is some printing on the opposite side.

[Watcher]

Security tag for merchandise.

Or, one of those water sensitive stickers on cell=phone batteries...

[HotrodScamp]

Not a security tag or from a cell phone.

I believe the pattern is meant to keep it from being easily forged. Also, the item is 30 years old.

[Watcher]

Picture of the other side?  Or will that give it away too easily?

[HotrodScamp]

The other side is printed and would definitely give it away! It is torn in half and I don't have the other half (hint)
