What is It? Game 8. - Neatorama

This week's What is It? game, brought to you by the fantastic What is It? blog is ... a hammer - but what kind of hammer? (i.e. what is it used for? It has a specific function). Can you guess what it is?

No prize this week, so you're playing for bragging rights. For more guessing fun, check out What is It? blog ...

Update 1/26/07 - The answer is: "Drill sharpening hammer, for reshaping points on the large star drills used for making blasting holes in mines, it's held against the bit and struck with a sledge hammer." Congrats to Chris Worsley (#12)!

I'll second answer #12, Chris Worsley.
I have one, with the pin in the center and have been guessing about it fot years. It does fit an old drill bit I have. I did use it to make some interesting copper conchos against a urethane block

It's some sort of hammer to find out if the mine is a dud or not.

Darwin award ftw.

can all those so-called artists please stop with doing stuff which jeff koons and wim delvoye have done already for years now. it's as boring as repeating cambell's soup cans all the time. maybe somebody should make a porcelain pc, or a baroque woodcut potatoe.
just my two cents, but heck, i can't stand it.
