A bit more.

It's a drill bit used for making holes in ceramic or glazed tiles.

Close, but not as delicate as that. I'm pretty sure ceramic and tile bits are sharper than these.

Of course! It's a masonry drill bit. The tip is very similar to a tile drill bit.

When you posted the 2nd view, I had second thoughts about the shouldered shank..... Chose wrong :(

Yep, thats what it is. It was the largest one in the set. A very small set. ;)

All yours, Richard.

Thanks twerppoet. My collection(s) have more gaps than drill bits. I need to tidy up the garage!

My challenge is simply, what is this a part of?

Tongs, you pull the end knob and they open or close...one way or the other

You are absolutely right, Leelai. That one went quickly.

Aren't tongs a great gadget. They handle spaghetti far better than the special ladles. I saw Jamie Oliver using tongs... And the rest is history, as they say.

Just luck Richard, I have several pairs of these and they are very handy!

I'm afraid I will need to open this up to anyone who wants to step in.

So to anyone who wants to challenge, the floor is now yours.
