Cotton pad. As opposed to cotton ball.

[Paulcet]

Yep. Go.

Impact driver?

[Badot]

Nope. It does drive something, but possibly not in the sense you're thinking, and if it used impaction it would probably do a pretty bad job.

Used for installing bearings?



Ugh, I swear I've seen and possibly even used one of those in the past, but I can't place it.  As soon as it's guessed I'll be all "OOOOHH!"

Almost looked like a flaring tool of some sort

[Badot]

It is used to 'install' a part, of sorts. The part it installs is consumed in the process of a single, succinct use. The item it installs into could be considered consumed on use, but can usually be re-used.

Some sort of primer insertion tool?

Some sort of hole punch or tool to rivet/install grommets

Some sort of primer insertion tool?

Yep. Casing gets put into where the die normally goes on a press, then this item goes into where the casing holder usually goes. Primer gets placed in the little springloaded cup on top, 'close' the press and the primer gets pushed in by the anvil.

It has the look of high carbon steel firearm related wholesome goodness about it..

I will endeavour to find a worthy item shortly.

EDIT:

Clues:

• That's a three story building.
• It is electrical
• Three Identical stacks
• Something unusual about the connections that may give you a clue

[Watcher]

Well, it looks electrical... 

[yamahonkawazuki]

Looks like a transformer hung from the ceiling or wall

Getting closer..

Voltage regulator?

[Kiwingenuity]

Voltage regulator?

In a way, yes.  But it does something else quite important. I may have mentioned it in an earlier post...

EDIT:
There are cooling jackets to get rid of heat

[Watcher]

High voltage converter?

[Paulcet]

I don't know what it is. But it looks very cool!
