Mystery object ?.
« on: October 11, 2009, 10:16:40 AM »
One of my friends is playing a practical joke on me as these things keep turning up in my workshop, I have quite a few now.
Does anyone know what they are or what they are used for ?.
They are made from high tensile steel but that is all I can tell about them. Help urgently needed on this one please.

Tweakie.
PEACE

Tweakie,

I am sure there are more appropriate places to post for people that have very personal physical deformities.  ;D

159 people have viewed this topic so far and nobody knows what they are yet - I can't believe it.  ;D

I found another one today. The collection is growing.  If only I could find a use for them - no suggestions please.  >:D

Tweakie.

It looks like it is a spring of some sort.

Thanks SteinarN,

It does look like a spring but there is little springiness in the object - it is in fact extremely rigid.

If I knew what it was then it would be an ideal candidate for a competition.  :)

Hi Tweakie,
  My guess would be that it is a Snap Hook of sorts, similar in function to the one pictured.
Probably for a specific application.
Something would be permanently attached to the rigid/closed eye then by pinching the body, the other opens slightly to be attached to another element.

Just a hunch.
(I could use some of these on my trot lines...lol)

...maybe they could connect *end to end* to make a chain ? ? ?
Chain links....yeah, maybe ?
hmmmmmm ?

RC
EDIT:  Looking again..would be a bit tough to hook these together.
  Chain not good maybe  ::)

If it was stainless I would say it was for livestock castration or something to pinch a line off permanantly.    ???
