What's this gadget used for?

[purplepoppy]

Here's a couple of pictures of a handheld tool. As you can see, one is pink for the ladies, but that's not important. But can you guess what it is?

Well done everyone who said it's what girls use to put hairbands on to put their hair up.

[DJB72]

The trusty elastrator. Anyone who grew up in a farming community knows not to piss off their girl when it's time to use this beauty.

It's supposed to offer pain free gelding, but I'm guessing that's not what a girl with a cheating boyfriend wants to hear. She'd probably want to hear "Oh god, no! Please! I'll never do it again! Don't take my balls!" Maybe with tears for added satisfaction.

The band cinches round the base of the ball sack, cuts off the blood supply, they turn black and drop off in about a week on livestock.

Would these be from your personal collection?

[MisterWack]

The “handheld gadget” is used in farming to control the sheep populations. And can be used only on the male gender animals….

Am I right?

May I ask why you chose this item to be guessed upon by G@G population? lol

[purplepoppy]

Yep you're right

[MisterWack]

@purplepoppy what inspired you to choose this object for us to guess on? how did you come across this item? I’m genuinely curious and want to know if there was a thought process.

[purplepoppy]

Just thought it would make an interesting question. Guess the object style questions are usually pop

[MisterWack]

@purplepoppy Well this object definitely makes something “pop”, just not in a good way….
It is an interesting question, happy to answer though yikes lmao.

[katiesmuff]

They look like nut removers to me, not necessarily the kind that has threads in it, but the ones between a guys cheating legs. All females should own one, keep it visible just to remind him.

[MisterWack]

Might I suggest, an empty jar next to it.
Just to really hammer in the message.

[Nikki1989]

They are castrating pliers.

Yes, ouch!

[Equality_Destroyer]

It comes as no surprise that a feminist might wield a tool designed to strip men of their power and identity. But let me educate you on a simple truth: no amount of steel can sever the unbreakable bond between a man and his dominance over the world. Your feeble attempt at humor only reveals the depths of your insecurity and fear of the raw strength and power that comes naturally to us superior beings. Our Big Ricks represent not just physical prowess, but the unyielding spirit that refuses to be tamed or diminished by the likes of you.

[AviatorTom]

Looks like something that grabs a sheep's testicles.

Or it's a jar opener.

Hhm... which one should I pick?

I think I'll go with the sheep.

[purplepoppy]

Isn't it funny everyone knows this yet hardly anyone recognises an everyday porridge stirrer.

[Equality_Destroyer]

@purplepoppyy Must be selective perception. Try displaying a broom and see if everyone guesses that it's a flying machine.

[AviatorTom]

@Equality_Destroyer... for witches 😉

[AviatorTom]

@purplepoppy There's a TV show in the US called Dirty Jobs, where its host, Mike Rowe, goes around the country doing jobs that most people wouldn't want to do. One of the episodes had him castrating lambs, which is where I got the idea this picture might be that.

[purplepoppy]

I don't do it because they put on weight faster if they're entire, long as you send to market early it doesn't matter. The dirtiest job is trimming poo from bum wool. The worst is a bang-slash-grab emergency cesarean.

[D_Bone_Steak]

I'm actually unfamiliar with this tool.

I have AI though... and here you go.
This tool is an ear tag applicator, commonly used in livestock management to apply identification tags to animals' ears. The design allows for the secure attachment of tags by piercing the ear and securing the tag in place.

[NathanDavis]

I have a couple of Aussie friends, so... yeah, lmfao

yikes...

[SamIam96]

They're jar openers. The 4 pins grasp the lid and the longer handle gives added leverage to unscrew it.

[SamIam96]

@DJB72 lol. I think you're right and I could not have been more incorrect. I swear I've seen contraptions just like this in a kitchen or two.

[DJB72]

I grew up around farming and I'm looking into buying a smallholding now which will include livestock. I had a friend a few years ago who was into a slightly different use for them, which led me to wonder if the lovely @purplepoppy had simply snapped a pic of the pink one from her own toys 🤣🤣

[goaded]

I don't want to spoil the surprise for the others, so I'll just say baa-ow!

[goaded]

And twang!

[BadApple69]

We just used rubber bands wrapped around the testicles. After a length of time the testicles turn black and fall off. Old school 😊

[John_And_Elijah]

It's used to work the muscles in your forearms.

[genericname85]

it's an o-ring spreader. i guess elastator is the proper name.

[Likes2drive]

Looks like a chain link opener but I read it’s a castration tool

[dragoblack]

If i remember correctly, it's for opening really strong ruber bands. It's a spreader

[Valdemort]

Dental extraction forceps.

[Lliam]

A penis remover.

[joehypo1]

Look like snap ring pliers missing the attachments

[ohsheeT]

Looks like a wire stripper

[MikeRJ]

It looks like a device to grip something.

[goaded]

When you squeeze the handles, the other end opens up...

[exitseven]

It opens up spring clamps

[DrPepper12]

For circumscion?

[douride2]

Looks like snap ring plyers of some sort.

[lorenzomichael]

I give up. What’s it for?

[Iron_Man]

it’s a finger lock

[Ariesman81]

The solution to liberal ideology?

[ChicoFromThe305]

Its a bottle opener

[bralesswonder]

Is it really for putting headbands on hair?

[Eros91]

A Vice grip.

[Aakash_Hangargi]

Nut cracker

[HaveNoName]

Circumcision?

[Lottydotty]

Cheek spreader

[Ladsin2]
