a wotsit
« on: October 16, 2011, 11:24:30 AM »
any ideas ? this thing is approx 20 inches long, threaded both ends.
i would think that it threads into something,then the second bit whacks it out?

Not for whacking, the fine thread, and nice big handles tell me it's a puller for something. (screw it in tight to the collar, then screw more to extract something) But I have no clue what...

It might be a joist/beam type jack that is missing the second tubular half.

Thanks; I could not think of the name when I posted my reply.  I have 2 holding up my cellar house just out back.  I should have known that.
