Clue:
It's human powered object.

Metal roller

If you mean rollers (like for rolling metal), than - no.

Foot powered Lathe

Yep

This one is from Seneca Falls Lathes.
Threadle mech. allows pedals to be operated independently: one (when standing up) or both (sitting down) when more power was required.

Your turn.

 

[Brodhall]

WHAT!!!!!????? Nooooooo. Please take another one. I got this way too quick. I feel like I am denying you the fun. Great engineering piece

 

[Zapp]

Well, I supposed it would not stand for long, because lathe was mentioned here a few times, on other occasions as possible answer.
But I wanted to show this one, as an interesting object, not very common ?

 

[Brodhall]

But i have never even used one, EVER!!! It was just a wild guess. Good excuse to show this machine. I love engineering. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE post a new one

 

[Zapp]

Thank you ?

How about this one, but I'm afraid also too easy... (can't shoot anything new at the moment).

Your turn.

That's gorgeous.

That's gorgeous.

I've noticed this one standing near the reception at the company in Czech Rep., which deals with manufacturing parts for sub-sea O&G.
It has a plate from Schuchardt & Schutte - German machine and tools agent from Berlin.
I will try to make a better photo when visiting them next time.

Adjustable wrench

That lathe it cool looks like April 14 1898 and 3speed belt drive

 

[Brodhall]

How on earth...?!!!!

I have absolutely NO idea. Must be some subconcious memory. Certainly not something I am remotely well acquainted with :-O

I am simply amazed! ESP?

 

[Brodhall]

I am simply amazed! ESP?

You and me both!

Looks like the last one is to easy to bother with.
You could still pretend not knowing, and ask some questions...

@Jeffcs said it was an adjustable wrench.

Unless it's a corkscrew, I'm inclined to agree with him

 

[Zapp]

I didn't notice it
@Jeffcs : your turn.

It is the adjustable spanner.

BTW. For some reason this type is called in Polish (translated) "English wrench", while other types are "French" and "Swedish".
