Celttooth is getting sort of close. Next clue: you use these to prepare something that might get very carefully placed into a "hole". Oh shucks...what's the fun if you cannot play with rapidly burning fuels? "Freedom is just Chaos, with better lighting." Alan Dean Foster |

Winner! J. Mileski nailed it exactly. Used to install o-rings or other sealing rings over threads and sharp corners. PM on its way. |

Used to straighten something? I should clarify, if you mean to take a bend out of something, then no. |

"Bend" to me is a deliberate deforming of material. Straightening (to me) could also be the removal of wrinkles, warping, or other unintended deformations that were byproducts of another process (heat treating, curing, drying, etc.). |

Are they rollers, used under a heavy load? |

Does it oscillate? Not if you use it correctly. |
