Well, once we solve this mystery, we can figure out who bombed the levees...Lightning Bolt wrote:The original cleverness is getting lost in the fog of the "name this tool" mysteryBurny Charles wrote:rednekkPH wrote:Generally, dies are round, and have a bolt thread (eg. 1/4-20, 1/2-16) stamped on them. The shape and the "1/8" stamp on that (1/8 is a pipe thread size, not bolt thread), tell me is a small pipe threader.

pl. dies A device used for cutting out, forming, or stamping material, especially:
An engraved metal piece used for impressing a design onto a softer metal, as in coining money.
One of several component pieces that are fitted into a diestock to cut threads on screws or bolts.
A part on a machine that punches shaped holes in, cuts, or forms sheet metal, cardboard, or other stock.
A metal block containing small conical holes through which plastic, metal, or other ductile material is extruded or drawn.
Yeah close enough I guess. BUt it usually works pretty well on the BB, and I think its clever.
Were the levees bombed in New Orleans?
