My problem is I doubt myself, Google it to be sure I’m right, then come back to 5 more people posting the answer. I think I got to start throwing answers out even when I’m not 100% sure.

Drop your answer right away, then come back and add a reply to your answer with the important confirming pic or link! That's what I do anymore.

23 min ago for me. I thought it was my time to shine, but there’s like 20 people who beat me to it.
I actually have a couple of these and this particular design works great if they’re made well.

SOLVED! That was quick! Thank you! It was in a collection of detritus that the homeless frequently abandon, or forget about.

It's to repair Jewelry, more specifically watch bands and bracelets..
Be super gentle if you try using it.. The little needle pin/nub on there can bend and break super easily..
The one I bought had a pack of 5 or 6 replacements..

Pretty sure that’s a tool to remove the pins that hold together a watch band. You take them out to make it smaller or add links to make it bigger

Looks like the tool I used to own to adjust bike chain links.

u/janosn20 10h ago
yeah but that's way thicker because you need a lot more force for bike chains, this is for watch links. I had one for both.

That's a tool for pressing pins into or out of a watch band to resize it!

There are billions of people in the world who have never even worn a watch. Expand your view.

America is part of the world, my guy. The irony in calling someone naive and misspelling it.
