this item requires something on it to be effective and needs something attached to it as well.

[al heeley]

Is it the head of a garden rake or hoe? That looks like a blade of grass or small leaf in the photo lying between the tines

[sparkin]

Are those tubes coming out or are they solid rods ?

[N.V.M.]

lawn/garden sprinkler?

[rawshorty]

[TijmenDal]

The first thing that pops into my mind is a key. I know it isn't but let's get this ball rolling!
That's a though one!

[Heath]

Do you put a shoelace through the hole?

[hqqns]

a tent?

[sparkin]

A little case, such as small screwdrivers, drill bits or Allen keys might come in, or maybe even a filter case ?

[Ingerson"PCD"]

Do you put a shoelace through the hole?

^^^^^ I think this too.

[Bend The Light]

The first thing that pops into my mind is a key. I know it isn't but let's get this ball rolling!

Not a key. :)

[Bend The Light]

Do you put a shoelace through the hole?

Nope. :)

[Bend The Light]

a tent?

Nope. :)

[Bend The Light]

A little case, such as small screwdrivers, drill bits or Allen keys might come in, or maybe even a filter case ?

Not case related, nor photography related. :)

[Bend The Light]

^^^^^ I think this too.

Nope. The hole would be too small to put a shoe lace through, inless it was one of the smallest thinnest shoe laces. This image shows about 10mm width.

[islandxguy]

A binder hinge?

[Bend The Light]

A binder hinge?

No, sorry...

...I would suggest that most people will have seen one of these at some point, but not many will have them in the home. It will assist you in doing something properly...

[Rob_50D]

Shower curtain?

[hqqns]

do you look through the hole?

[hqqns]

or stick a pencil in it?

[Ingerson"PCD"]

Is the silver material metal?

[hqqns]

do you throw it or launch it?

[Rob_50D]

Tarp...

[Bend The Light]

Shower curtain?

Nope...much smaller.

[Bend The Light]

do you look through the hole?

Nope. That hole is more of a construction thing, not to do with the item's function.

[Bend The Light]

or stick a pencil in it?

Nope.

[Bend The Light]

Is the silver material metal?

All of what you can see is metal...the big bit with the eyelet is probably alloy, and it is on a metal thing which is part of something much bigger...

[Bend The Light]

do you throw it or launch it?

My daughter nearly did once when she was stropping...I'd be very annoyed if she did. It sits there, doing something to help you do something properly.

[Bend The Light]

Tarp...

Nope. Indoors, usually. Desk/countertop sized item.


Pleased I have one that hasn't been dolved by you guys in 2 seconds! :D

[scaning]

A tool to thread a sewing needle?

[sparkin]

Is it some sort of clip ?

[Ingerson"PCD"]

Just wanted it on this page. Sorry.

[Ingerson"PCD"]

Nail clippers?

[al heeley]

Ruler?
Scissors?

[Bend The Light]

A tool to thread a sewing needle?

No. This thing is set to do what it does, then you do what you do...separately.

[Bend The Light]

Is it some sort of clip ?

Um, no. There is a sort of clippy bit which is just visible in the photo...but this is clipping this bit onto the whole object...the whole object has no clippy sort of function.

[Bend The Light]

Nail clippers?

Nope. You set this doing it's thing, then leave it to do it...

[Bend The Light]

Ruler?

No, but it does measure...

Scissors?

Nope...

[BasAndrews]

A tape measure

[Bend The Light]

A tape measure

Nope.

There is a scale on this, but it's more for setting something rather than measuring. That said, the whole object helps measure something....;)

[al heeley]

ah, a weighing scale

[Bend The Light]

ah, a weighing scale

Nope...not measuring in a "physical" way...:)

But then, this does have some "visual" similarities to a weighing scale. :)

[aseainthesky]

A clock?

[Bend The Light]

A clock?

Now we're talking...but no. :)

[al heeley]

egg timer?

[al heeley]

meat temperature probe?!

[Bend The Light]

egg timer?

Nope. Not really kitchen stuff...sort of measuring time, sort off...:)

[Bend The Light]

meat temperature probe?!

Nope. Remember, this does it's thing alone, and helps you do your thing much better...
It is to do with measuring, and a clock was more along the right lines than a ruler.
The big chunk you can see is about 1cm across, and is on another bit that has "markings" on it...The bit you see is sort of clipped onto it, but the whole item doesn't clip anything.

Clue: The bit you see moves which changes the way this item does what it does...

[sparkin]

[al heeley]

wow, wasn't expecting that! How about this one:

[rawshorty]

can opener

[TuanTime]

can opener

Lol I would say definitely can opener as well. I would be very surprised to find out otherwise.

[N.V.M.]

personally, i think it's an upside down can opener.

[rawshorty]

I'm off to work,so if al gives it to me (but i think N.V.M. might be right with it being upside down :) )I will leave it open.

[N.V.M.]

lol, no. i was being a smart ass.you were first.

[al heeley]

well that one was far too easy, it is an upside down can opener. Next please!

[N.V.M.]

ok, i'll do it because rawshorty left it open.

http://members.shaw.ca/northvanmike/Images/guess5.jpg

[al heeley]

made of metal?

[N.V.M.]

definitely.

[1Twist]

part of a car?

[N.V.M.]

part of a certain car

[va_rider]

Is it a model BMW with BBS wheels?

[N.V.M.]

no...not that i'd know what a BBS wheel is.

[sparkin]

But is it a car wheel though ?

Looks a bit like the alloy lattice wheels on some years of Jag xjs.

[hqqns]

Grill?

[N.V.M.]

it is a wheel. you know, from my other car...cough i wish..



http://www.epicdevelopements.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/yellowlam.jpg

[al heeley]

Is that credit to Sparkin for the car wheel or VA-Rider for the BMW BBS wheel..?

[va_rider]

Well... it's not a BMW, or a BBS wheel... so... I'm guessing it goes to Sparkin?

[sparkin]

A quick one to keep it going ...

[al heeley]

is that the plastic hook of a bottle of shower gel/shampoo?

[Bend The Light]

Lettering on some plastic item?

[sparkin]

is that the plastic hook of a bottle of shower gel/shampoo?

It is plastic, but not from a bottle of anything.

[sparkin]

Lettering on some plastic item?

This one has lettering on it (but some don't), but none of the lettering is visible, and the object is not any sort of letter.

[al heeley]

window scraper?

[sparkin]

window scraper?

Nope.

[Ingerson"PCD"]
