Bright and early just to make sure I saw this when it came on TV every year!

My grandmother and my Great Aunt each had one of these. I don’t need one.

Lee,

You just gave me my morning laugh! Unless you watched it being used as I did, I truly don't know how anyone could figure what it is just by looking at it.

It was used to lift the jars out of the hot water during the canning process. Hence, sadly I don’t need one. I vowed to at least attempt to “put up some preserves” once I retired, but have not done so.

Hand crank drill I think. Bits go in, held in place by tightening the head on right that has metal grips inside to hold the bits. Then the crank is turned, moving the head with bit. Producing hole. (I think, since I used to play with one as a kid)

After graduating went to work full time at a PW. Worked 60 hour a week for $60, thought I was rich. Spent 60 years in retail, most of it in grocery chains. If you want to work and have the holidays runed then do as I did.

I think may of us cut our working teeth at grocery stores - me and my late both did - funny thing, he was a whistler so if he was whistling a fast tune, he worked fast but if it was a more melancholy turn, the bagging sent along at a much slower pace. 🤓

But get that job now cause it will probably only last a few more years before humanoid robots begin to do this job as well as many others - are your worried? I am -
