Is it a crank handle for something? Good question, sir. It is not. The file name is a lure. mambo |

Crank start a mode of transportation? Nein, the tool is quite stationary while in use. mambo |

Controls speed? Non. The tool is not part of a machine control system. mambo |

Is it used to hold something still that would normally move? |

Is it used to hold something still that would normally move? Still cold. The tool is not about holding things still. It is dynamic. mambo |

Do you hang something on it? |

Do you hang something on it? Iie. Nothing gets suspended from this tool. No relation to hooks, brackets or hangers. mambo |

Handle on a machine press? Negative, it is a tool on its own and not part of a machine. mambo |

Does it wind something? |

Does it wind something? Nope, sorry. No windng, cocking, priming or tensioning is done with this tool. mambo |

The ball-end seems worn. Is that from hand contact? |
Francis Noel Send message Joined: 30 Aug 05 Posts: 452 Credit: 142,832,523 RAC: 94 |
The ball-end seems worn. Is that from hand contact? Nope. The ball end is not worn as the tool pictured is new. It is shiny because this part of the tool is not painted/oxydized and or the mill scale has been removed when the ball end was shaped. More hints: using the tool will cause (cosmetic) surface wear at the ball end, along the top of the long section and on both sides of the short section. mambo |

Is it used to separate something? |
Francis Noel Send message Joined: 30 Aug 05 Posts: 452 Credit: 142,832,523 RAC: 94 |
Is it used to separate something? Still cold. In a pinch anything can be used as a pry-bar but that is not the intended purpose of this object. I guess it could make a decent firepoker too but again, not designed for that. mambo |
