What is it?

I've been collecting unusual objects for quite a while, and several years ago I started posting them on this site as puzzles for visitors to figure out what they are. Most of the items are mine but a few belong to others, if you aren't interested in tools there are plenty of other type objects that have also been posted.

For first time visitors I recommend this archive for a wide variety of some of my best pieces.

  • wouldnt it be funny if you filled a toolbox with tools like these. I mean, fill it right to the top full of these weird tools and lock the toolbox and hide the toolbox and put the key in an envelope with directions to the toolbox and ....
