Wow - and it's only been what, 14 billion years since the last one?
I think it's all because of global warming ...

No, not a glass-cutter ...
No, I guessed that too, Seabreeze; that wasn't it. I keep thinking it's one of those things they might have used to smooth cement - but don't think that's right either.
Gonna sleep on this one....someone will guess it tomorrow, I bet.
before I'm even out of bed. :sleeping:
Not a cement smoother, trowel or float, no ...
Nope, not a tile cutter either, sorry, G ...
Ooooo ... Phants, you're going to share honors at the end of this one - now I need to know IN WHAT and WHY it punches holes.

If this turns out to be a pasta cutter there's gonna be a mutiny around here.

LOL - I was waiting for that.
This is turning out to be a tough one - I'm not surprised, because when I first encountered this item I had no idea what it was either, so you folks have my sympathies.
... but that don't mean I'mma' gonna' TELL y'all what it is!

Does that frame thingo have anything to do with it's operation other than form a connection for the handle?
and while I'm at it... does the handle serve another purpose besides propel the thing?

YEE-haw! Oh, the imagery in my head right now ...
Unfortunately, Pap, no.
It is essential to its proper operation. In fact, in a way, it defines its operation.

Here's another (somewhat arcane) clue for everyone ...
[HINT] It used to be used by one category of tradesman, but nowadays in a new form it is used by another [/HINT]
