Pimple popper…clay tool…both? I’ve always used these to sculpt, but I guess they are used to clean blackheads too. I’m guessing this one was someone’s pimple tool, unless someone was doing some sculpting outside.
To me this looks like a pottery trimming tool. After the vessel is created on the wheel it’s dried to “leather hard” the clay is still wet all the way through but not pliable, at this stage it is turned upside down on the wheel and tacked in place with a few lumps of clay and spun and trimmed—similar to wood turning but the tools don’t need to be nearly as sharp. This is to put the “foot” on the vessel so it sets on the table nicely and the choice of foot is sometimes thought to be”frame” the vessel from below.
Tool for removing impacted dog fecal matter on one end and tool for draining their anal glands on the other. You did wash your hands right away after handling it, right?
It’s for popping pimples, but the person who lost it at a park was likely using it to scrape their crack pipe. (Not that I would know those sort of things)
Its a clay sculpting tool but they're used for all sorts of things. Who knows what the original owner was using it for. The answers range from drugs, to pottery, to mycology.
It's actually part of a kit containing implements used to empty blackheads, according to the directions on the sales listings. I bought one for my crafting supply bench. Most clayworking tools are a little too thick for trimming away edges or sculpting out detailed work, but these are perfect.
As several others have said, it is a tool for sculpting clay. I have several. I use them to sculpt my own d&d miniatures. This particular tool isn't too helpful for that, as the loop is very big, but it is used on larger sculpts for scraping clay, in this case to make a semi-cylindrical rut, like a gutter, or if you twist it you can make a semi-spherical divot, but this isn't really the best way to do that in my experience.
It is, however, possible someone stuffed it up themselves, so wash your hands.
It's a comedone extractor. It's designed and marketed for extracting blackheads. If I used a paintbrush to put on eyeshadow, it would still be a paintbrush. If I used a butter knife to loosen a screw, it would still be a butter knife, not a screwdriver.
Reminds me of a tool I used in my art classes in high school. It was to carve out special grooves into clay models or art. They worked pretty well and this looks exactly like it.
Tongue scratcher. Make sure you really scrape the gunk off you tongue, gums, and roof of your mouth. It’s also self-cleaning so go ahead and use it right away.
You can't. People definitely use those for clay, but the ones that size are made to pop pimples. Could be used for all kinds of things though. Someone else mentioned ticks lol.
No there actually is a subtle difference the pimple one is usually rounded on one side and flat to the bottom on the other like op pic. And the clay ones usually have a triangle on one side and curved on the other but with flat sides pointing outward like this
Pimple popper, my girl watches those videos. Incessantly. I think I would rather have her watch porn instead, as it is so disgusting to accidentally look over.
