a blue "what's it"
« on: November 16, 2015, 07:44:58 PM »
Searching on google by the tool's name wasn't much help. What is a "what's it" used for? Thanks!

You mean besides puzzling us all?

Maybe it's a measuring gauge for smurf plywood.

It does look a little like a gauge, but there are no markings for measures. In fact, the only markings are "what's it" and "us and foreign patents pending" --  no patent application number. And I searched the patent database for "what's it" -- useless. An excellent example for google search elves to work on improving.

It's a Blue color sample you take to Walmart or Homer Desperate so you can be entertained watching them try to mix a gallon of it.

How have you made it this far in life without one of those?  But now you have it, and your life can be complete!

Nice detective work.

Is it available in Lincoln Electric red?  Miller (ITW) blue doesn't blend into my kitchen decor.
