I like the idea of some sort of break. Something smaller like a sawing machine?

A place where I go twice a year then pop in to see you. Dentistry pliers.. They usually hide them behind their backs before attacking you but now because they sneak up from behind you never see them.

Sorry not dental or mechanical. They are used by orthopaedic surgeons usually on spinal operations....
So Kev got it yet again. I wonder how he does it....
Next one?

Yes we have had it before. And before Kev gets there its a warp twisters tool. I never understood what they did and how they worked.

Well done Ken! And yes, you're right. I have to confess I have never seen one used but I know what it is from this image of Warp Twisters at Butts Mill in 1880.
