[Andy M.]

Fred?..................

 

[miniman]

Could be, sorry, I was looking for the common name for the species.

 

[Uncle Bob]

It's found on what Continent??

 

[Buck]

Is it a baobab?

 

[pacanis]

Fred?..................

What?
Don't name the tree after me

 

[miniman]

Buck has got it. Lucky guess or knowledge?????

 

[Buck]

Beats me! I looked at the thing and something in my head said baobab.

I've got to get that looked at

Back inna minnit with a pic.

 

[Buck]

Okay, here we go..............

 

[Uncle Bob]

Are each of the small ojects perfectly round? And do the screw into the long object?

An air guage of some type?

 

[Buck]

Yes...
Yes...
No

 

[pacanis]

How long is the rod?

 

[Buck]

About 5 - 6 inches.

 

[Uncle Bob]

Is that 5th ball on the other end?

Some type of alignment tool?

 

[Buck]

The ball on the right differs from the others only in size.

Not an alignment tool.

 

[pacanis]

Do the balls only screw into the one end?
Is the rod hollow all the way through?

 

[Uncle Bob]

How about it is used in cake decorating...or fondants or whatever??? To smooth out surfaces....

A ball tool

 

[Buck]

pacanis: As far as I know,the balls screw onto either end. I don't think it's hollow all the way through, but if it is or isn't makes no difference in its performance.

UB: Not used for anything edible.

 

[phinz]

It looks like a tongue stud.
