    oh my i would need that to reinflate my collapsed lung, because a pneumothorax apparatus has no other purpose.

    hi five bro

    Martin gets another attempt to kill the thread by ignoring it.

    It is a pneumothorax device, but it technically is not used to re-inflate a collapsed lung (which is the common name for a pneumothorax).

    The device was actually most commonly used to induce an artificial pneumothorax as a treatment for Tuberculosis.

    Hence the clues "Finding Numo" and the Dr Zeuss classic "Le Thorax".

    Ok,

    Since I stumped everyone and Martin declared the opposite of what the device was used for, I'll go again.

    Spring-loaded, thumb-screw adjusting, axially-sliding feeler gauge.
  5. wjray .-.. ..- -.- .

    Ya know, I really hate the vague answers some people give. :D
  6. KyleK See you at the Box!

    Can't be. This tool has a hook for holding something cylindrical ala a tubing bender. Can't figure the spring end yet though.

    It's not a feeler gauge.

    Please bro I called is precisely by name. I just use it differently than most people.

    Also nobody is fooled by that device used to hold small wood pieces together for sawing

    It is not used for holding small wood pieces together for sawing.
