I found this small aluminum item in a tool box. It’s 1.5" diameter. The two pieces screw together. I thought it was a little stash container, but the larger piece has a nub inside which would fill the void on the smaller piece when screwed together. Is this some tool? Or maybe a little machinist project.

    I don’t know what it is for sure but I bet it’d work great as a pill crusher.

      This is almost what it is. They come in lots of shapes and sizes. This one is probably for hash coins. Seems too small for a puck for a rosin forge, and hash is commonly sold in pressed coins.

            I don’t think the threads would impact the pressing with this design; they are outside the inner chamber.

    My wild guess would be two end stops for pipes. One external and internally treaded for the same diameter.

      That’s what they are! I have a box full of leftover parts from years of home repairs, and I frequently store caps of opposite genders screwed together like this.
