Do you remember this gadget?

Sorry I don't know how to copy the image instead of the link.
 
I know I have seen a picture of it before but can't remember what it is.
 
Remember those green coils for mosquitos? Some people still use them...
 
Engineering tools.jpg Ok speaking of gadgets... Is anyone familiar with these tools and what their used for?
 
First thought was ammunition for a weapon.

Nooo... I'll give you a clue... They are tools of the trade in metal working...
Here is what a set of them would look like...

How have u been anyway??? I haven't visited this forum for a while...
 
Those are die tools

Bingo... For people who are unsure, those tools cut threads...
The shafts are known as taps and they cut threads into holes so that you can screw a bolt into it.
The round ones are known as dies and they cut threads into shafts so that u can screw a nut onto it.

Im impressed you got that seeing engineering is a male dominated industry...
Did u really know or did u ask your hubby?

Ok next...
Seeing you got it right you get the chance of posting a gadget or tool or anything for us to figure out what it is...

My dad was a mechanic and saw him use the tap and die when we were kids.
