LOML got this household tool today as a gift. It's 8" long, 1.25" high, and ½" thick. What is it?

This would be an oven rack push/pull tool. I make them out of oak with a duck head for the handle. My wife uses the one that I made her constantly. Fantastic gadget to prevent burning yourself while trying to baste the Christmas turkey.

It is a bottle cap opener for REALLY big bottles of beer.

At first glance, I thought it was some sort of childrens spanner wrench or something.

Looks sort of over done but in this neck of the woods, they call 'em an oven rack push/pull. Ours are not as fancy as that there thing.

That's what it be. Now for the second part...what's it made of?

firehawkmph · 12-20-2008, 08:28 AM

Some kind of man made countertop material, sillstone, avonite, etc.?

Thats a 3D paint stick. I used to send helpers to get them them out of the van all of the time.

People actually make money off of these? We just use a ruler or paint stick with a notch on the end and another 3 inches up from the end. Silly people?!

rocklobster · 12-20-2008, 08:36 PM

I think my wife had one of those in her hair yesterday.

Or it's a wedgie puller/picker (plays both offense and defense).

I have 2 guesses. the first being made from a sawdust inpreginated plastic. the second being a man made stone product like what some countertop's are made of. It is hard to tell from the picture, but that's my 2 guesses.

You guessed it. Now we know what to do with those sink cutouts, and backsplash scraps. These are great gifts or flea market items.

Kenbo · 12-21-2008, 11:28 AM

Looks like Carpenter's glue mixed with Cream of Wheat or Oatmeal.

I finally guessed something right. What do I win? Almost afraid to ask.
