Sorry about the meaningless description!

Device found on an ex USAFsite a few years ago. It has no markings of any sort. The very powerful clamp will attach to typically a pole of around one-inch diameter.

Ball joint allows freedom of movement.


Plan A is always more effective when the problem you are working on understands that Plan B will involve the use of dynamite :twisted:

It reminds me of an inspection lamp, but that would be obvious if there was a lamp holder inside. Could it be a flare or iron holder as the mesh would indicate some sort of protection from poking fingers?

the mess cylinder looks sort of familiar, but I cannot recall why.

The clampy bit reminds me of earthing leads. The meshy bit of a Davey lamp. Dunno.
