Seems a hole for a rope would be round - easier to make and all that. <br /><br />Adrian - Did they ever make Tabasco with pry-off caps? I'll try to get a few more shots up soon.<br /><br />Damien - Like a wrench? I like that idea. I'll take a closer look at the metal end for wear patterns...Danhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03176548997819533683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5318585149114723707.post-13703946621563666892010-12-23T22:38:58.237-09:002010-12-23T22:38:58.237-09:00Looks like a free standing handle that fits a roun...Looks like a free standing handle that fits a round axle with two sides flattened at the end. As the tool has a narrow metal head, the axle is in metal. The handle made probably small movements, less than a full turn. Surprisingly the handle looks small compared to the axle diameter, so probably it was something completely different.Damienhttp://woodlooking.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5318585149114723707.post-55115954065274906252010-12-23T19:54:02.116-09:002010-12-23T19:54:02.116-09:00bottle opener for extremely small bottles? :)
