Guess what this is a photo of!

Well, I just don't have time to keep looking, and I keep hitting dead-ends. I have to get ready for a weekend ladies' retreat. I'll check later to see if there are any more hints or if anyone has gotten it.

that sounds great (if I translate it right..) - have fun ;o)

 

[Barbara L]

Thanks cara! They are a lot of fun. We laugh, we eat, we pray, we eat, we cry, we eat, we have a special communion service which is always very touching, we eat, we sing, we eat, we play goofy games, we eat, we sometimes leave to shop a little, we eat, and did I mention we eat? Then we go home and diet!

I couldn't even tell where you had guessed it, just that you had seen one similar

Is that a zip-tie fastener?

I was thinking of a grommet setting tool, the thing that punches holes in leather, etc. to allow you to put in a grommet that seals the hole. Think curtains and shower curtains.

Leather shower curtains - how fancy!

Okay, fellow Bay Area person, think the Castro district.

hmm.. the longer I look at it, the more I think that it is maybe something to cut glas?

 

[DrThunder88]

Nope so far, but this tool does have an absolutely adorable name.

I don't even recall what terms I used. It must have been something like "bronze art Utah Mastadon" or somesuch.

 

[pacanis]

Is it a "nibbler"?
Does it nibble metal or something? Almost looks like it's made by Malco.....

 

[cara]

a wire stripper?
