No... Good idea though.  It's funny how every odd item belongs in the kitchen. LaFille, is yours used for making potato spirals? That is probably as close a guess as can be without knowing the thing. ;D It's a Microwave potato chips maker ;D |

 Ok what's this? That appears to be some kind of grinder - like to hack onions in fine pieces by filling them in the ball and then rolling it on the wheels on the table in order to rotate the knives inside. I would go for that too. Whilst very versatile, this item has a particular purpose in mind:  (This is where I find out they're unheard of in Australia, but common as dirt everywhere else in the world...) No guesses? ;D |

Hmm - I vaguely remember seeing the like as a very young boy - My Grandmother used a wooden pincer/gripper like this to take her laundry out of the boiling water in the laundry barrel (That was an antique, coal fired thing before there were laundry machines).

I'm going to take a guess that it's a key-logger. |

I wonder if LaFille's is the same as ours? It's a set of Toaster Tongs! It's a pair of tongs just as wide as your toaster slots. When you have short items of toast that don't sit above the top of the toaster, you can use this to pull them out without fear of burns or electrocution. |

What is this? Yes, a wire saw, though sold as a survival tool: www.bestglide.com/Wire_Saw_Info.html I wonder if LaFille's is the same as ours? It's a set of Toaster Tongs! It's a pair of tongs just as wide as your toaster slots. When you have short items of toast that don't sit above the top of the toaster, you can use this to pull them out without fear of burns or electrocution. Yup, same thing, except that ours is a limited-edition. ;D An adapter plug to plug some unusual stuff in our computer? |
