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 can see it to. But that is not what the tool is.

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.
