Title: One from the flea
Post by: lptools on August 23, 2020, 09:22:21 AM: Hello, I found this at the flea this morning. Seller didn't know what to call it, others looked and still no definitive answer. I have a few guesses of my own, but I will wait until I hear from you guys/gals!!! It weighs in at 3 pounds, and the ball end looks like it has never been struck. The pins are actually nails, former owner put in a few coated nail replacements. I am guessing the original nails were hardened, as in a masonry nail, Thanks for looking, Lou

Post by: lptools on August 24, 2020, 03:59:06 PM: Hello, Northwoods. Thanks for the info, but it doesn't look like it would work as the tool you posted. The head of this has a flat where the shoulder on the handle butts to it, so a handle passing all the way through does not look right, in my opinion. Regards, Lou

Post by: lptools on August 25, 2020, 07:43:09 PM: Wow, that is an awesome Ice Chipper!! Looks like the concept is the same as what I have. Are the pins/points replaceable on yours? Thanks, Lou

Post by: Lewill2 on August 26, 2020, 01:37:34 PM: I never took the handle off but I don't think the points are replaceable.

Post by: lptools on August 26, 2020, 02:29:01 PM: Hello, yadda. Yes, it could be a Meat Tenderizer, but I couldn't find a match!! It is heavy, so it feels more like a Meat Pulverizer :cheesy:
