Let's see who can guess what this is. It came in for repair a few weeks back. It is 3/8 or thicker Cast aluminum, which was very clean. Prep: clean and bevel with flap disc, wipe with acetoneWelder prep: 100 amps on dial w/ foot pedal, AC, 3/32 red tung. and 3/32 5356 wire.What is it? I didn't know, until the customer told me, the i went, '' oooooh ya". John -  fabricator extraordinaire, car nut!-  bleeding Miller blue! http://www.weldfabzone.com
Reply:drywall sheet lever. For lifting the bottom sheet off the floor while you screw it in. Thats my guess, but it looks diferent from the ones i've used You only need to be 2% smarter than what you are working on.Lincoln pm140hacksawa big hammer

Reply:i say it's a water bottle holder.with full intent and better sense to recognize what is false and part with it.
Reply:I've never seen one like that but I am with the other guys.  A drywall sheet toe lift.Come try it out and stay a while.
Reply:How much did that cost them to weld that? I only ask because a new one is only about $14.
Reply:You guys are correct - dry wall toe lift. I asked the same thing JKNIGHT, he said fix it. It must be his lucky one, so he got charged $20. Plus, it would have cost him that in gas, to run to the closest Home Depot to get one for the price you list. Quicker and easier to have me repair it...I guess.John -  fabricator extraordinaire, car nut!-  bleeding Miller blue! http://www.weldfabzone.com
