    Its a chess piece warmer. If you don’t like having cold chess pieces, you simply insert them into this machine and put hot coals underneath it. Then your chess pieces will be toasty warm, perfect for winning with.

    I believe that must be an instrument of torture.

    Its a Poldyne tuner wrench master socket set. Although those small square things (Poldyne wrench socket heads)look similar, each is manufactured to a specific gravity and harmonic imbalance. Without a complete set you can never get your poldyne drive properly attenuated and then you’ll be stuck on some desolate alien planet forever. Believe me.

    It’s a key for opening a complex lock.

    It’s a screwdriver for opening the next-gen Xbox - Microsoft have given up on software DRM and have resorted to hardware security now.

    To me, it looks like it’s a type of screwdriver for a proprietary screw with many inlets in the head instead of a slot- or cross-shape to fit into with a standard- or philips-type screwdriver.

    Or, a fish scaler.

    It looks like a magnetic fishing game for boring people.

    It is definitely a combination of a spatula and a backscratcher, cause don’t you just hate it when you’re cooking, and have a spot you can’t quite itch?

    It’s not just your run of the mill fish scaler, it’s a “Magic” fish scaler.
