I don't think so. Such a device does not require a third hole. Besides he said that two were finger holes. Incidentally, I never use these devices, something else to lose or break. I use a taught-line hitch which is an adjustable knot that does the same thing only more reliably.
Another good knot to use in the situation you described Red, is the trucker's hitch. I digress, back to topic. This pretty much says why I don't have one of the objects I submitted. Well breaking it would have to be intentional, but with just a glimpse of creativity one would definitely lose it before they use it.
Red, I agree, just trying to figure this object out. Your pic was exactly what I was talking about. Plot, is my guess anywhere close? Is it used with rope? I'm thinking it could be used for climbing maybe as something to run your safety rope through or some similar use?
Well damn. I thought I was on to something. Of course, it could be the valium and Lortab making me feel smart!
Looks like it is used like a handle to pick something up that has a hook you grab with the non-finger holes.
Good for tightening, but not adjustable. When it rains and natural rope shrinks, you have to loosen the guys or they will pull out the stakes. It also uses a lot more rope. But I love it for lashing down loads.
It can't be something that you can pull on with much force or it will cut your fingers. No padding or broad curved platforms for fingers. Those little hooks are for something. They must hang on the lip of a can or a thin cord. Does it work alone or is it part or a more complex machine?
You can't and wouldn't use too much force, but ample. The small hooks do serve a purpose, but aren't used all the time. They aren't used to hang on to a can or thin cord. Besides ones hand and the object(s) it is used on, this object is all there. Not a part.
Looks kinda like some sort of a steel manifold gasket. ... like maybe some part off a carburator or something.
