Glass cutter. The ridges on the side slip over the edge of the glass to give you leverage when you bend against the score you make with the wheel. The ball on the end is for tapping the opposite side of the score to run out the break. Head rotates and probably unscrews so you can add oil for a smooth cut. Score one side of glass and tap opposite side to make the brake, or bend the glass towards cut to make brake. Don't try to cut tempered.
Almost certainly a glass cutter for making stained glass. You scratch with the tip, break off a bit with the claws, or tap with the rounded backside to break off a piece.
I think it's a glass cutter. Who knows what it's for.
>I think it's a glass cutter.
I agree, but maybe op could get a smaller even shittier and more pixelated photo for us?
If I don't know what the frick tool this is, how am I supposed to search for a better image?
I just saw this lost image out there and saved it
is this better?
Much better. Thank you. OP that is how it is done.
That helped, thanks. I can see my that is a sounding rod
You might be right. Don’t we have a guy who can fix OP’s image?
To cut glass?
Do I win anything?
Yeah, looks like a fancy glass cutter to me, with a tampon laying next to it.
Its a drum stick with a can opener

no problem. that's what we're here for. well, that and helping teenagers find jobs where they will not get yelled at for being worthless.
Towards the cut, not away?
*bend glass away from cut to make the break
Oops, was in a hurry. Thread died and I didn't clarify.
the mohel's magic wand, don't forget to tip, 20% off the top.

Score the glass, slide cut over table edge lift slightly and down. Piece snaps off, no tapping, hooking or any of that tomfoolery
