Is it made of more than one material?

Yes. the bit you can see is steel, most of the rest is wood, to save a list of "is it"s :)

This one's a head-scratcher for me!

I'm thinking about the comment that I'm likely to have used it (out of necessity) recently. To me, that means that either I use it frequently (and therefore recently) or some factor is causing me to have needed it (otherwise how would you know?). Anyway...

Is it related to "repair"? You said that it was not related to cleaning, but how about something that needs to be fixed?

Well I've used ours quite a lot recently. I spoke to a neighbour, from a safe distance :) who would have used theirs recently too. But you may not even have one. Most of my neighbours would have had one at one time, but some wouldn't now.

It might be used indirectly in the the activity of a repair, but that's not going to be a useful angle.

Not at all what it's for, but you could use it for that.

Line. Shape. Form.

I'll start in 2-D first. The width is about 16-19mm (as depicted in the original image). Is the (vertical) length greater than 12"?
