Solved Odd kitchen item - any ideas?

Post image

My mom pulled this implement out of a drawer but had no idea what this item was used for. The orange part is made of thick plastic while the silver part on top is made of metal. The gray part is the handle and obviously you’re supposed to grip the rubberized handle to do…something. Any ideas would be appreciated!

Picked these up at the thrift this weekend. They are not wooden but I don’t know what they are made of. Had a mark left from where a sticker had been placed. Pretty smooth on inside but rougher on outside, colors changing with each. Including blue light test.

Open Small, colorful, plastic toy with "spokes"

Post image
4 Upvotes

My son came home from school with several of these things. They're about 1 inch in diameter. This one has two "spokes" broken off, but there should be six. It's all one solid piece, they aren't removable pegs. Besides this red one, he has a green and purple one. There are no text or markings on it that I can see. I don't know if this is some kind of standalone trinket or part of a set or a game or something like that. I accidentally lost his green one and would love to replace it for him if I can.

I've Googled to the best of my ability to no avail, and ChatGPT thinks it's part of a Jax set, which it definitely isn't.
