No one should be without that one! I believe that was among the tools that wound up in my garage from my dad's place a few years ago. I can't imagine how he would have come by it but it would have been just like him to keep it around. Just to 'make little boys ask questions'. My guess was a bit backwards. He's laughing his ass off right now! That's a good one!

Update on this thing. As I mentioned, this came from my dad's stuff, which came to me when he died. I couldn't figure out why he had this thing as he was not one to keep things around that he had no use for. On the other hand, he loved to 'repurpose' things and liked it even better when you had to ask him what a thing was used for.
I never got to ask him about this thing, so I asked my mom about it.
She said he had it rigged up for use as a slingshot. Go figure.

The correct name for the tool, is "Elastrator" and is indeed for the docling and castration of cheep, and castration of bull calves

My friend had this German Shepard pup and it ran out in the road and got it's tail ran over. Poor thing had the hide stripped right off the tail bones.
My other friend is a sheepherder at heart and he happened to have an elastrator handy, so we used it to band that dog's tail up above the damage. It worked as advertised, and after a few days the damaged tail fell off and the dog lived a long and happy life.
