[pcasciola]

[BearLeeAlive]

It is supposed to be RinkRat as he guessed the last one but he sleeps alot.

Whoever is ready with a pic should post it.

Where's the pic?

[RinkRat]

It is supposed to be RinkRat as he guessed the last one but he sleeps alot.

Whoever is ready with a pic should post it.

Ok, ok. I'm here.

I had to cut the grass, & take care of my daughter. Maybe some of you have seen a picture or 2 of her here?? :)

Give me a few minutes.

unlike some of you, I need to work, and require food & sleep from time to time. :p

[BearLeeAlive]

unlike some of you, I need to work, and require food & sleep from time to time. :p

Ok,Ok, I will give in to the work thing, I put in about 60 hrs a week at that. But food can be taken in front of the computer and sleep is a waste of time. Just catch a catnap between posts.

RinkRat, I see you nailed it while I was posting. I still think we should let elr go, she (asumption because of avatar) was almost bang on and got it first.

Besides, she may not need as much rest as you do..lol

[RinkRat]

Oh, alright. I'll let it slide this time.

You are right though... I'm off to bed. Hopefully, I can catch up in the A.M.

[Kent2]

waiting for a new picture is almost as bad as a reply from the picture poster....

Kent

[elr]

Sorry BearLee, you're assumption is incorrect. That's my wife. :D

....I still think we should let elr go.

Thanks but I dont have a pic to post and i didn't have my camera right now. Im at work and It will take around 10 hours for me to shoot one pic for posting. So to get this thread moving, i'll pass this time.

[elr]

waiting for a new picture is almost as bad as a reply from the picture poster....

[nitsch]

Some little fold out saws on something like a penknife?

[RMc]

It has nothing to do with a knife....or a saw.

[RMc]

lol. :S

It has nothing to do with a drill piece. I'm wondering what you're thinking though.

Your other three guesses are way off.

I am at work so I looked in my desk (junk) drawer to see what I could take a picture of. I came across this item that should have been in my tool box. I guess that's why my desk drawer is really a junk drawer.

[nitsch]

Is it some kind of measuring device or guage?

[MattyB]

like a metal file!!!!!
:S maybe not?

[RMc]

Is it some kind of measuring device or guage?

You're all over it.
Can you tell me what kind?

Here is a bigger view for you.

[MattyB]

oh, a thread gauge measurer

[nitsch]

Mmm Nice thread pitch guage. :)

[MattyB]

so who won, me of nitsch? LOL

[RMc]

Mmm Nice thread pitch guage. :)

I would say this was a photo finish.

I would have to say Nick got it with the guage guess earlier and now the technically correct "Thread Pitch Guage". Would you agree?

This was fun. Thanks RinkRat for allowing me to jump in. By the time I ever figure out what something is, someone else has already posted it.

[nitsch]

You go for it MattyB you got the full answer first.

[MattyB]

nitsch is so kind :P

here ya go.
should be fairly easy
