ELeBlanc Report post Posted August 4, 2017 Its all metal about 8 inches long. Looks like an ice pick that is missing the hook part. Someone suggested (or guessed) that it was for stretching out holes for lacing. It came from a Harness Shop. thanks in advance - Techexchange Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ELeBlanc Report post Posted August 5, 2017 Could be some form of stuffing thing for pushing stuffing into something like a horse collar. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
justpaul Report post Posted October 7, 2017 It was made/welded by the user of the device for something- I picture something that was sewn or stitched inside out that needed prodding to reverse it afterwards. Or it's a tent stake.... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mojave Report post Posted October 8, 2017 First post was for fun, but I made one of those for metal detecting. Some people use a screw driver. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LumpenDoodle2 Report post Posted October 8, 2017 Official opinion.... It's a thing, for doing something to another thing. And unless someone has one, or has seen one in action, the uses border on limitless. Sorry I can't be more explicit, or helpful. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bemavu Report post Posted October 8, 2017 Maybe to fill saddles when they are worn out. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I watched a video by Don Gonzales on hammers and he did have a very small hammer. "Shrug" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LumpenDoodle2 Report post Posted October 9, 2017 I have seen a tool similar, but with a bit of a hook on the end. It had something to do with lasts. Maybe to help yoik a last out its stand. Or possibly to remove boy scouts from horses hooves (Swiss army knife joke). Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
