Tomatoes are cut into equal, thin slices with a tomato slicer. He has eleven saw blades (approx. 10 cm long) in a rectangular window with a straight handle. When you place the tomato slicer on top of the tomato, you can cut it with a sawing movement. It can also be held at an angle while the tomato is pushed back and forth over the saws slightly from above (1). If necessary, there is an accompanying slide with which you can push the last piece of the tomato through the slicer, without risk to the fingers. [MOT] (1) CAMPBELL: 68.

With a vegetable chopper you can chop vegetables into fine pieces. It may consist of a plastic cylindrical frame, in which there is a zigzag curved cutting blade, and a rod with a spring around it and a flat plastic handle. The plastic cylinder is placed over the vegetable, which has already been cut into pieces, and the spring rod is pushed down forcefully several times. The cutting blade moves up and down and rotates so that the vegetables are chopped into fine pieces. This model is mainly used for cutting onions. See also the onion handle. Another model consists of three elongated (approx. 10 cm) blades at some distance from each other, which are attached at right angles to a metal intermediate piece that extends perpendicularly into a wooden handle. The blade in the middle is lower than the other two and a spring is wrapped around the spacer. When you push the handle down, the spring is tensioned and the two outer blades move down. By moving up and down again and again, the vegetables...

The blacksmith or wheelwright uses the tyre lifter to remove the glowing iron (wheel)band from the fire to place it on the rims. Afterwards, the tyre is pulled onto the rims of a wheel with the sledgehammer and the tyring dog.  This hook-shaped tool is also used by the millwright when covering the millstone with iron hoops. Smaller wheel tyres are removed from the fire with smith's tongs.  Some models look very similar to the scroll wrench. [MOT]
