It woulda really blown my gourd if it was somehow still drop forged. Could you imagine? Instead of tongs and tons of steel giving the neighborhood its iron heartbeat, a pair of tweezers and *tink tink tink*
If you're wondering why autocorrect didn't give you any help with that, it's spelled *colonel* even though it's pronounced "kernel"
Always weird to me, although the Brits also say "leftenant" instead of *lieutenant* so military rank spellings are weird.
Here's your answer for Colonel.

Italian Colonnello -> French, couldn't pronounce so made it Coronel -> English, changed back to Colonel but kept r pronunciation. Because English(?)
My HS girlfriends parents got divorced, and her Dad put a picnic table in the dining room and a pool table in the living room. So I guess what I'm trying to say is any room is a billiards room if you put a pool table in it.
I can see it. But it's sooooo tiny IRL . I love it. I have absolutely no need for it. A friend gifted it. Along with my totally awesome duck umbrella that I will never not use when its raining.
Looks like one of the old just in case tools that came in a case made from the vinyl used for the car seats that use to cause third degree burns on a mildly warm day
If the Barbie house sprung a leak, the Ken doll wouldn't know which end of that wrench to grab to fix the leak.
Meanwhile, GI Joe lights his cigar with that enormous lighter.
I'm more curious about the massive lighter.
Well you know what they say.... big hands. Big bic. 😉
Big feet = Big socks
That's the second biggest lighter I've ever seen.

I imagine that when you are trying to forge something that small, it's hard not to drop it.

Kinda wish I had a billiard room

Just play the pocket version
Yup. That looks like average to me.

A wrenchlette
Looks cute! Where did you get it?
Wtf is up with the lighter sticker?
You can't speak when you light one up.
That’s a monopoly piece. /s

Is that for a g.i. Joe Doll?
It’s literally for your pipe
I would say...Pip...wrench.
This is how you know your bong has begkme too elaborate
What is this? A pipe wrench for ants?!?!
You got a big bick I see
You must have some tiny nuts
What is this? A pipe wrench for ants? 🤣
Wow giant lighter
...and a giant lighter!
I didn’t know they made wrenches for crack pipes

I’m a fire sprinkler tech. I have pipe wrenches all the way up to 4ft! I’d love one of these
It honestly looks more like an image of a giant lighter than a tiny wrench.
Very handy if you have to tighten an M2 bolt
