Yestderday you saw...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Can't believe it, but nearly everyone got the photo yesterday. Have my shots got so easy to identify? Yes, it was a B&Q VALUE 8 Metre Measuring Tape. Wow! You must all know so much about DIY! I am humbled. Well done everyone for catching me out. I need to be sharper now I think! Grin...


Honorable mentions to...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Mike Warren - Tip of a tape measure. A 50ft Stanley to be precise :) Net says:-->> Still sure about the detail? LOL. Nice try.

Paula Brumbe - centimeter tape measure Net says:-->> Correct, but it measures inches on the top side. LOL Good try...

Howard N - I used to be in the hardware business many, many years ago and we sold tons of tape measures, which is represented in your image. However, it is probably metric, and being from the states, it is very difficult for me to determine (from your photograph) how long it is!!! LOL. Net says:-->> Nicely done. You get tonights Clever Description Award! Yeeeha!

Shirley Chetwynd - oh yeah and it measures by the inch and not cms. Net says:-->> Actually both. In the UK we still look after those that never learned to measure in proper metric measures. Quaint eh? LOL.

Danielle Greenwood - oh I finally get one! A tape measure! great shot. Net says:-->> Proud of you! LOL.

Paula Cook-Farkas - I'm not so sure I can measure up to this one... Net says:-->> Ouch! Super-groan. Thats terrible. But, you get tonights "Groan of the Day Award! Yeeeehaaaawooldlems!

Kathy A - The end of a Stanley retractable aluminium tape measure. Net says:-->> Marks for Tape Measure. Its not Aluminium and it has a plastic caseing and the measure is steel and the tip is stainless steel. Too precise there... LOL.

Alison Bailey ace
Coo, what time do you have to get up in the morning to be among the first to answer these? ;-D (new follower) Net says:-->> OK thats complicated. How about just before I go to bed! LOL... Grin.

Alison Bailey - That looks like the number one on there to me, so I reckon it's the *beginning* of a tape measure. Net says:-->> Clever answer. You win tonights Tip of the Night Award!!! Yeeeheeehaaa! LOL.

sally czerwik-hampshire - i'm going against the grain and saying it is the tip of a tape used for measuring things. Net says:-->> Confused here. Is that answer against the grain. It not against my grain, so to speak! LOL>

TheSaint - the business end of a retractable tape measure. Net says:-->> I didn't know this tape measure was in business for itself. Nice, must have a chat with it sometime. LOL...

mittens (Marilyn) - Yep, I'd say tape measure. Net says:-->> Acutally so would I. Great minds think alike! LOL.

Liz (fotomama) - tape measure....hate those. Net says:-->> Nasty disease 'tapeusmeasurionus phobia'! LOL.

Lisabell - Measuring tape, tape measure. But is it metric or whatever-the-archaic-system-is-called that we still use in the US of A? Do I get bonus points for considering this? Net says:-->>Actually its both. I think you were looking for the term Imperial Measurement. Those Imperial measures are shown on the top part cut off in this picture.


Well done everyone. Interesting tonight - I never realised people thought they knew so much about tape measures. Fun!

Take care - see you tomorrow.

[Crazy Girl]

crow bar!

[mittens (Marilyn)]

I'm thinking maybe a crowbar?

[☮Lee Gordon☮]

yup the end of a crowbar

[she devil]

crowbar or the bit on a hammer for taking out nails

[Lisabell]

Oh, I know what it is, but why should I spoil it for everyone else? That’s my story and I’m sticking to it.

[Howard N]

Mr. Net, you are showing me the business end of, what we call, here in the states, a pry bar or nail puller, probably any where from 18" to 36" in length. It may be similarly slotted on the opposite end only curved for additional leverage when removing the stubborn suckers.

[Kathy A]

It s clearly an emu's foot!

[Brian Buccigrossi]

pry bar

[Jen E]

early prototype for the fork?

[Paula x2 Brumbe]

Some people may chose to play with crows while holding the bar, I prefer to call this the weapon I keep under my bed.

[Alta D©]

a crowbar it is!

[Paula Cook-Farkas]

A very large tuning fork? Giant magnet? @brumbe 's personal defense system?

Eh, maybe I'll cave to the peer pressure and call it a crow bar.

[Rick Schies]

One leg of an iron patio table.

[Doug O.]

Crowbar

[Frances Chaloner]

End of a crowbar

[Nancy Holte]

Yes, I've seen this before. It's a thing-a-ma-job, doohickey deal.

[Sue Wilde]

The business end of a jimmy bar...for doing the business of jimmying bits off other bit of things.

[scooter]

Crowbar here...a yellow one!

[Bev]

crowbar or claw end of hammer

[Shirley Chetwynd]

It's a yellow two pronged gadget for something or other ..well it is.

[Meg]

I have NO idea, Tell me please

[Shanne]

crowbar business end

[Alison Hewitt Bailey]

Crowbars looked different in my day :-) but, as far as I can tell (knitting needles and dulcimer hammers are more my thing) that's what it is. It doesn't look like a claw hammer, the claw isn't thin enough, long enough, and don't they tend to be more curved than that?

[Nadine]

Short crowbar, also known as a wrecker's tool.
(my husband knew instantly...)

[Terry]

crow bar.

[Natacha Murphy]

a crowbar!
