.. Dang it Addy .. That widget is in the way of the newspaper article!! ... I was just getting into that! ...

I I don't know. The name for the widget ... But I reckon it's a magnet for putting over a power cable ( to modify the field for some reason?) ... Or a screwdriver/similar type rod .. To make it easy to pick up metal bits ... ..... Not degaussing wand... I know that's for CRT corrections ... But a ... Dammit .... Too much searching on the web for answers is a bit cheaty ... Cos I know I have heard the name.. Just can't remember the name ...

Of course I might be wrong ... And it's really part of an IED?

Excellent...

Well, lets try something a little older, but none the less still quite useful (and it isnt the ruler either)

[dohabee]

does it connect to an air hose?

[Kiwingenuity]

It might connect to more than one air hose, but not quite in the way air tools do..
