It looks like smoke coming out of the ground behind one of the animals. Is that significant?

Please remember that as tool, it's exquisite
beauty is only secondary to the use of it!



Hint:
When holding a copy it still
has a light heft to it.

Ok back from my swim. Refreshed and ready to challenge the most ardent and astute tool guy (or gal) out there. Tell me what this is or what it is for.

Plumbing clamp, but for some very important plumbing that can't be shut down very long for repair?

Used to fix stripped or mangled threads on pipe.

Or.

A collar connector on a big cable.

That is very close in so many ways but still too far from the correct use.

Is it a jointing clamp for "welding" or gluing plastic pipes together (e.g. the large bore gas or water pipes) ?




Sorry Gordon, I didn't register your one...
Happy Crunching,

Graham
