The "What Is This?" game

[Elmojo]

Oops, my bad, I was thinking of someone else from an earlier round, sorry.

I'd take a stab at your new item, but I can't see it.
I'm assuming it's the thing on the membership card, and not the card itself. lol
Can you post a larger/closer photo?

[pliskin]

Looks like the cap to a flashlight with a keychain hole

[Elmojo]

Flashlight base?

I would if I could.  Truth is it's pretty small and all I have is a cell-phone camera and it doesn't do macro very well.

Membership card is just for size reference.


That being said, you guys are oh so close.  You are right that it's for a flashlight, but wrong about the application.
I figured this one would be harder.

[Malfruen]

Flashlight focusing lens?

[Elmojo]

Filter lens holder?

[Watcher]

Nope and nope.

Having one of these is pretty useful if you set the light down a lot.

[Elmojo]

So it's not a base?
I had one that fit around the body of the flashlight and held the light vertically or at an angle depending on where you positioned it.
It looked very similar to this device.

[Janx101]

Reckon it's kinda what mojo said. .. but the collar goes around the body of the light and stops the bloody thing rolling away across a hard surface. .. doesn't seem wide base enough to keep a torch vertical?

[Elmojo]

Mine would hold it vertical no problem, as long as the light was super top-heavy.
Most of my tactical-type lights had fairly small heads, and it worked well.
Still wondering what this one is, though... 

[Watcher]

Janx got it.  Anti-roll device.  As a bonus it serves double duty as a set of "ears" which make the light very usable if held as a syringe, and it has an attachment point for a lanyard in addition to the attachment points built into the tailcap.

It fits on the body about 1/3 the way from the tail-cap switch, the screwed down tailcap is what holds it in place.  It's not wide enough to hold neither the tailcap nor emitter head to act as a stand, it's just there to keep the light from rolling away when set down.

And for those interested, it's from a Nitecore P20.

[Elmojo]

Hey, that's what I said it was initially! 

That's cool though, Janx wins this round.

Ok Janx, find us something really tricky!

[Janx101]

Hmmm ... Don't know how tricky.... I had no idea what this thing actually did till I took a photo and asked a particular mate... The thing is on display at my work, One of the sydney council depots.. The mate saw the series of pics , asked if they would consider selling it to him! .. They said no

This one is a quite old version.... There ARE modern versions of same thing.. Ranging from full size workshop jobs right down to little portable toolbox size job site ones.

I think it's likely that there may be instant recognition IF someone works with this flavour of equipment....

The most closeup pic first.... Will add more pics with extra visual info as clues if the guesses are too far off the mark 

[Elmojo]

trencher?
Looks like a Ditch Witch blade.

[Janx101]

Yes it does look like a ditch witch blade! .. But it isn't  .... If the machine used a blade the size of a ditch witch though.. DAMN that would be impressive!

It's a lot smaller though

[mennobike]

Don't know, but it's small. A grease zerk is visible at the top of the picture.

[Janx101]

Zerk? ... now I have to look that up!

[Janx101]

Ok.. zerk = grease nip.ple. .. never heard named zerk before! .. cool..  learning day!

[Elmojo]

Hmmm, the chain doesn't look aggressive enough for wood...maybe a tile saw of some sort?

[Laverda]

Possibly this : ??
