[Mirabilis]

A hot plate holder

 

[Denise1952]

So it "sets" another tool? Adjusts.

 

[Denise1952]

Does it hold a wire of some sort in place while you twist or shape the wire into something? I think it might have to do with horse-shoeing, so I'll say it makes the holes for the shoe nails. But that wouldn't be a tool for a tool

...a device for applying tags to animal's ears?

 

[Falcon]

For setting the kerf on a wood saw ?

DING! DING! DING!

We have a winna' !!!

Falcon has correctly identified this WII as a saw set, a device that sets the angle on a wood saw's teeth. You would place the tool over alternate sets of teeth and squeeze the handle, "setting" the tooth, then flip the saw over and do the remaining alternate teeth.

Congratulations to Falcon and excellent answers everyone - thanks for playing!

 

[Denise1952]

Oh congrats Falcon, and thank you Phil, man you can pick the stumpers!!

 

[That Guy]

Sheesh...

 

[Mirabilis]

aww Congrats! I wouldn't even know whether you eat a kerf... I was never going to get there. NEXT!!

 

[Falcon]

Actually, The "kerf" is the width of the cut that the saw blade makes in the wood.

 

[Rainee]
