Is it an Allbook Hashfield?

Because it does look like an older Bonis

They all look very similar, don't they... except perhaps the Singer ones which tend to be quite distinctive in appearance. My first experience of being terrified by machines smaller than cars and bigger than cameras was in fact a sewing machine, people :) Yes... I may have accidentally stepped on the peddle a bit and got it jammed into a kind of... forever on state... whereupon it started chewing my school dress and knotting it madly with cotton that was flying out from the top and the bottom of the machine in a monstrous rampage bordering on depravity. My mother thought it would be a good idea for me to stay in it while she mended the hem you see - because apparently... when you're six, you "can't go to school looking like that" ... no ... you have to go looking like you were snacked on by a lawn mover which then attempted to set fire to you. It wasn't a fur machine though ...


But that's all beside the point :) What is the point is that it is a.....

Success-Allbook-Hashfield-fur-industrial-sewing-machine, which from what I can tell, only differs from the Bonis, in that it has two of those wheel things sticking out either side instead of just one on the right.

So CONGRATULATIONS Carlos... you are our winner :) I shall PM you with the news in a moment. In the meantime, thank you to everyone who played :)

Thank you Anniet,
Here is another tool that I have used. What is this?

---

X marks the spot.

---

Carlos, how far will you go?

---

It's an electronic hairbrush. They're really quite good, whether you have hair or not.

They automatically adjust the length and density of the bristles (from polish to rake for example) as required for *avoid meeting anyone's eyes in particular* ... whatever shambles you might have on your head.

They're also good at escorting spiders to safety from it. This version looks like the deluxe one that not only counts up how many calories you've excised from your diet, but also alerts you to how many hairs you've yanked out of your head since you began using it.

That black bit at the end of the handle allows you to upload all that data to whatever device you wish to share it on with others.

I'd best hurry off and find another tool to retake the crown with now ... ;)

edit: I particularly like the special effects setting.

Digital Scale Master for measuring distances on maps, blueprints, etc.

Methinks it also be used on potatoes

Yes, well if it WAS a digital scale master then yes, I can definitely see why it would be.

Well that tool seem more common than I thought. I used it for take off on development plans.
It is a Scalex wireless plan wheel .

Mr. Kevvy got it. PM already sent.

*attempt gracious congratulation at Mr Kevvy*

Oh.

:)

*attempt gracious congratulation at Mr Kevvy*

Heh... thanks. :^)

Here is the next mystery tool...

---

Congrats again Mr. Kevvy. Going out for my morning bike ride. Will take a guess when I get back.

---

Every time I look at that I keep thinking legs for some reason. At first I thought I might be mistaken and that it was some form of niche shoehorn for people blessed with odd feet or a penchant for unusual shoes, but I threw that idea away and am now going to say, it isn't.

So - I am now of the view that it's a preliminary measuring device for adult shin bones used to establish any preponderance of Neanderthal genes lurking in the individual. There we go! Solved :)

Carlos, sure hope you didn't have any issues with your derailer on your ride.

---

To even climb on a bike with a derailer to hand would indicate he had "issues" surely ?

*edge carefully past Carlos... and Gary now... *

;)

Yes Anniet, I know what you mean. During my ride my chain fell off. Wonder what it could be.

---

This is about bikes isn't it?

We aren't pulling your chain.

*frost eyelids at half-mast*

We aren't pulling your chain.

Rly?

Okay ... well is it for checking your bicycle's chain, you know, for wear and tear or something and then removing it if it is , and then replacing it with another one?

I suppose it has an actual name though. One I'm expected to know.

:)

edit: I don't...

edit of edit: I might now...

Bike Maintenance Chain Wear Indicator Checker Gauge, or BMCWICG (pronounced Bumwickig)

Could it be that?
