yeah, its something to do with horseshoes. I can't remember, possibly for putting them on. Edit: looking at the clues here I'd say its for making them rather than putting them on. Reality Internet Personality |

Hint #eleventeen: Are you trying to say its a shoe anvil (and not for horseshoes after all?) Reality Internet Personality |

I was going to guess that, but I didn't feel like winning. (A likely story, I know.) David Sitting on my butt while others boldly go, Waiting for a message from a small furry creature from Alpha Centauri. |

I was going to guess that, but I didn't feel like winning. There were lots of clues. I wouldn't have guessed without them. Reality Internet Personality |

This is a small tool I use sometimes. Hopefully it won't be too hard to get. Reality Internet Personality |

At first blush, it looks like an old style pop-up knob for a car door lock. But that wouldn't really be a tool. David Sitting on my butt while others boldly go, Waiting for a message from a small furry creature from Alpha Centauri. |

Ding ding ding! Actually I know them by their original name, "cobbler's last". ;-) Cheers. |

Its entirely made of metal and about an inch long. Its definitely a tool because it has "tool" in its name. Reality Internet Personality |
