I was going for "knuckles" as in joints in fingers. That was one of the main uses I made of the tool at school I've still got the scars from getting it wrong when setting up one day :-( That was my first thought but then I went elsewhere with it. |

Grumble, Grumble, Grumble. I am the worst speller in the world, to get caught spelling something correctly is a travesty. Well it looks like I should be in one place at least thur the weekend which will allow me to keep an eye on the guesses, so what have we here my precious? |

I think I have seen those on the top of iron fences. I can see it to. But that is not what the tool is. |

Is it a metal working tool? |
Admiral Gloval Send message Joined: 31 Mar 13 Posts: 20258 Credit: 5,308,449 RAC: 0 |
Yes it starts with a "A". But what kind is it. Strike while the metal is hot. Edit "It's not a overgrown thumbtack." Picture bump. |
