If you just post a photo, without text, the system eats your post!

So, here's the new picture, what is it?

A watch ?

 

[BillM]

I was going to say Clock, but if It was i'm thinking watch would have been close enough.

 

[CameraClicker]

Sorry, wasn't paying attention. Also, sorry, not a watch or clock.

I didn't expect anyone to get that it was a clamp. I was looking for ratchet. Your turn to post something.

I doubt I am right here cause I am not sure how it would connect to a crank shaft but the only thing that comes to mind is

some kind of piston.

 

[tirediron]

Nope... absolutely no kind of piston, not even remotely related.
