#1 A Cement Jointer- also called a sidewalk groover or sidewalk creaser. It smooths the joint between two concrete surfaces.
#2 Stud Finder- no, not THAT kind of stud, the kind that holds up walls.
#3 Pineapple Corer- yes folks, no household should be without one. I own one, thanks to my Mom. It is a great doohickey to get the best part of out of a pineapple!
#4 Pedometer- I still don't understand how these things actually work, and I never remember what they are called.
#5 Pastry Blender- a what? I own one of these and have no idea why. I've never used it.
#6 Garlic peeler- you mean this thing isn't just a piece of broken plastic?
#7 Drain Snake- my personal favorite. Ever seen someone use these thingamajigs? Totally weird.

I do believe that thing you don't know what it is Potatoes piller
hahahaha, what a fun post.
i have this weird kitchen implement from trinidad that's always good for some comments as to the nature of its use.
my favorite doohickey term though is "gazoochy." :)
We use the term "gizmo" a lot in our house. "Where's that gizmo you kids use to do that thing to your hair" I often ask the kids.
those are some strange gizmos you have here. my husband has some gizmo in the garage that after 20 years I still have no idea what it does!
i use my pastry blender a lot rick, to make biscuits and pie crusts... no home should be without that! ha ha

I have a garlic press thingamajig, but I rarely use it. I buy my garlic pre-minced from Trader Joe's now!
This is exactly why I love hardware stores! Doohickies, whatchmacallits, and thingamajigs abound!
After recently moving, I find that I know very little about what I own. (And I DON'T own much "stuff.") I have spent months saying, "Where is that thingamabob, dohicky-job", and then using 5,000 words to describe what it does. Why must containers have so many different names? And computers/Ipods/TVs/Cell phones---all the cords and pluggy thingys---ARRRRGH (No, not seen most of your posted biddly-bops) And WHERE is my Police thingy that ---OH! S C A N N E R ! Now, where is it...
I would love to tell you about my favorite Thingamajigs, but my favorites can't really be discussed ... in polite society... :)
Not sure that nay thinamajigs bafffle or fascinate me but I am grateful for a lot of them. The most simple and useful is my jar opener.
Haha! Well if I could remember their names then I'd tell you, wouldn't I? :-P
Great idea, Rick! I love all these Doo-Hickeys and Gadgets....I've always been fascinated by objects that do just ONE Specific thing! AMAZING!
