It's about 10 cm (4") long. Metal and plastic.

~~Hopefully this will stump people a little longer than the other challenges have managed.~~ What a naive fool I was! < 1 minute again...

If you do find the answer using Google Lens, hold onto it for a while to see if unaugmented humans can work it out :-)

Please add spoiler tags to any guesses to add to the element of suspense.

Correct!

Despite having used the things this is meant for myself for many years, I had never even seen one of these. Brute force and a screwdriver always worked for my simple needs 😀

Thanks for posting such things, it will help to grow lemmy and is also quite fun!

It's not so much fun scouring the house for mysterious items. But thank you! I hope that this community will continue to grow and prove to be a great resource for people.
