What is it? Game 101

I think this is a device that enables the user to remove/replace a rubber grip on a cricket bat.

i thought it was a tire thumper used by semi-truck drivers, check to be sure every tire is inflated by thumping ‘em and listening for a thump instead of a thud.

It’s a lever to throw electrical switches on power poles. Usually these have sockets for the metal covered end – and often padlocks in case some unauthorized prankster happens to have a handy stick

This is the prototype WMD developed in Iraq, but was incomplete due to budget costs.

With #4 & 9 on this, it is a tire thumper.

Mr Wixon has it right

Used for hitting transpert truct tires. Very technical

it is either:

- a “fishbat” for clubbing a big fish once its been hauled on board a boat.

or

- a batten – used for sail rigging in an old-timey sailboat.

Sorry, that LOOKS like a tire-thumper, but note the indentations on the metal sleeve. This is actually a relatively new training tool used by the Isreali Special Forces to teach their elite soldiers how to deflect bullets wearing Wonder Woman type bracelets. It’s their latest effort to maintiain their reputation among the special forces community of their unparalleled and insane bad-assedness.

I think it’s all those things! It would work…

A tool for removing ice from boats while at sea

Finally one I know as well – because it is exactly the same as what I use. A tire thumper.

I thought it was a twitch too, but on looking more closely the leather doesn’t look strong enough.

Wait, I just searched for “tire thumper” and… these can’t be real.

Why not just give tires a good old swift kick?

It’s an illegal alien deterent device.

this is a tire thumper, to check the air pressure, semi drivers love it.

It’s the object I hit the editors of this blog with for not offering a prize. Do I win?

That’s obviously an instrument of torture.

It’s a tire thumper

No, it is not used for “braining” people;
I believe that the Mafia use things like this to “knee-cap” them instead; keep them alive, but unable to run away.

Gong striker.

looks like the stick that’s used to pull the shutter down. You see those shutters for various small shops, they’re too high to reach. So, we’d need something to pull it down to padlock it..

It is a heavy duty laundry tub poker; it assists in jamming the clothes below the soapy water level, so there is no contact between detergent and person.

Its a stick for making rope

Tire Buddy, helps long haul truckers check tire pressure, by striking the metal end on the tire to test air tightness in tires that are hard to real by conventional pressure testing devices.

This tool is called a twitch and isn’t evil at all. When undergoing a painful veterinary procedures, you can help the horse by using a twitch. The rope is placed the horse’s nose (muzzle) & is twisted by the wooden handle. The twitch activates the horse’s endocrine system and acts to release endorphins (hormonal pain reliever), during a short vet procedure. Some people use the twitch as a tool for behavior modification. For instance if your horse kicks out at you while you’re medicating her foot, a twitch would hold her in place, minimize her pain and proof to her that she doesn’t have to kick at the pain.

Tire thumper. It’s sold for 18-wheelers to check tire pressure, but makes a darn good self-defense weapon as well.

It’s a legal department approved safety ax.

“Haven’t truckers discovered the magic of a tire pressure gauge yet? One that gives you an actual number of proper inflation?” – Joe

I bet it is fantastic living in the future.

A tire gauge takes time to go around to all eighteen tires. Accessing the inside dual is not easy.
With a thumper you can easily do pre/post trip in about five minutes.
And if you happen to be hauling a turnpike double, then you have more than eighteen tires to check.

You are also required to check your tire pressure every so often. Depending on your load, company rules, state rules, DOT rules, sometimes it can be every one hundred miles.

Multiply that with however far your trip is – a tire thumper is just an easier quicker way to check your tires.

“We” do however check the tire pressure with a gauge weekly.

My sister had one of these given to her by a co-worker. She was told that it was to break the windows out of her car in case of an accident (trapped in car). I always thought it looked like an assault weapon, ie. in case of highjacking.

Is it a porridge spurtle?

it’s a tire checker.

It’s a tire thumper that has never been used. (a tire thumper is something truckers use…they whack the tires with it and from the sound and “feel” they can tell if the tires are under-inflated)
P.S> I’ve been a trucker for 30 years

Bludgeon. To ward off Ne’er-do-wells. Must be a new one, no bits of scalp and hair embedded. yet.

its a seal club. for beating fluffy seals.

It’s a fish bonker.

fish whacker

Looks like a cheap club for scattering protesters.
