Blogger was down for maintenance for almost 24 hours starting yesterday afternoon but it looks like things are working again now, don't know what the problem was.
I haven't been able to verify either the chain tool or the large clamp, the rest of the answers for this week along with a couple of videos can be seen here:
The way that I've currently been linking, the comments show up at the bottom of the page by default, I'll go back to my old way of linking in which you don't see them unless you click on the comments link at the bottom of the page. Sometimes there is good information in the comments about some of the unidentified items, so I don't want to turn them off or discourage people from posting there.

in the real world, is wood that easy to split. Almost a shame to burn that stuff. It would make very nice lumber. Very straight grain, no knots, etc.
I *do* read them -- *after* I have sent off my post to the newsgroups. I just don't want to see them before then, so my own guesses do not have a chance of being contaminated with those of others. :-)
Thanks, DoN.

Yeah, I saw that too. Got me wondering where I got it in my head that the entire thing hung from a chain...

Actually the government will use almost anything as a burn bag. I saw Purina bags used at an agency that never says anything. What's more interesting is the items which make their way Into burn bags, including false teeth, ladies underwear, and washing machine motors.
I'm not really asking... Just being a wise-guy... How do you know? Been reading things in burn bags lately?
How does he know they were ladies?
teeth....underwear....sounds to me like they stuffed a PERSON in a burn bag!

The newsletter had a list of odd stuff found. Add coveralls and steel toed boots to my previous list. I'm not sure, but I suspect there were some disgruntled employees. There were chutes all over the place leading to an underground conveyor that carried everything out to a chemical disposal. Stuff like the washing machine motor damaged the conveyer (must have come fro a top floor) and the other stuff got sifted out somehow - including the .38 ammo. Some agencies had 'collectors' or collection points and clear waste baskets that had to be placed on your desk when you were not there.
At this particular agency diversity did not extend to guys wearing bras and panties, so it was a fairly good assumption. :)
How did they know they were wearing bras and panties? Did they have those X-ray vision machines? Or maybe they skin-searched everybody who had a lumpy chest?
Thanks, Rich
Not all women are 'ladies'.
And not all 'ladies' are women....

True. Some are girls, AKA 'Young ladies' ;-)

Your typical West Coast 'TV sets'? ;-)
