Well done Kev and Stanley

.
The Orchidometer is a medical tool used by doctors, particularly endocrinologists and paediatricians, to accurately measure testicular volume..
Also referred to as Praders balls, the medical worry beads or the endocrine rosary.
I learnt about them while watching ‘Would I Lie To You’, of all places

Kev has it, correct.
What would this file/rasp be used for in an engineer's workshop?
Re: MYSTERY OBJECTS

It’s for removing a lot of material quickly from softer materials such as plastics or wood, or even lead in the workshop.
