Identify the Mystery Object.

[WaltP]

Part of a bicycle. But I can't place WHICH part.

Part of a bicycle. But I can't place WHICH part.

The object is not a part of some other device. You buy it and use it as it is.
Needs to be held, usually by one hand.

 

[RichardC]

Is this a garden tool?

 

[Zapp DJR]

Is this a garden tool?

Acc. to the producer - yes.

 

[RichardC]

Boot scraper.

 

[Zapp DJR]

No
Not a scraper, and not for boots.
I think that the fins are distracting you. In the setup like on the image they are not so much in use.

 

[Harvey Melvin Richards]

Weed puller?

 

[Zapp DJR]

Not a weed puller. I suppose you could try to pull weeds with it, but probably keeper ratio would be low.
However, the same maker has also the weed pullers in his offer.

 

[Zapp DJR]

Here it is.
What is the object?

[RichardC]

Tongs for coal?

 

[Zapp DJR]

It could be called tongs, I suppose.
But it's not for coal.
Parts in focus are plastic and rubber.

 

[ektar]

Rubber-jawed clamp.

 

[RichardC]

Poop scoop?

 

[ex machina]

A kind of tiller?

 

[WaltP]

An arm extension! For changing lightbulbs, bothering siblings from a distance, picking up things without bending, etc.

 

[Zapp DJR]

Rubber-jawed clamp.

Yes, in function.

Poop scoop?

Not a scoop.

A kind of tiller?

Not a tiller.

An arm extension! For changing lightbulbs, bothering siblings from a distance, picking up things without bending, etc.

Close enough
Although changing lightbulbs might be difficult, with some practice it could be used for stealthy recovering TV remote.
Here it is:

And here is the original description:

Solid Gripper
(I think the rubber pads can be removed, and then the "fins" are used for more solid grip).

Your turn @WaltP

 

[WaltP]

7F degrees here today. Just reviewed my folder of mysteries and thought they were even MORE LAME than my usual rubbish. Will get to work on something better I hope.

 

[ADemuth]

Edit: suprised that no one mentioned yet Star Wars Storm Trooper fighter

We don't even miss that badly.

 

[WaltP]

Ok, how about this? Let me know if its just too lame.
