Alien , Ash medical tool

[Ottostudios]

Hi!

I think it's a precision oiler (Yes? maybe? nop??)

But I am not able to find the model

Ottostudios good guess! I've Googled but nothing close, although I have found some oillers with very similar looking attachments.

I've posted the picture up on Reddit's WhatIsThisThing too.

It appears "Glenn" just became a new member to finish his piece then left. He's most likely not responding because as many do, they feel if they don't share any information it makes their prop more valuable.
However, Glenn if you come back please accept my apologies.
Regardless, put me on the list of folks who are interested on making their own.

From what I understand, Glenn has valid personal reasons for not being on the forums. Not my place to say anymore, but is definitely a shame.

Sorry to read that

On the other hand I will try to explain my conclusions (my English is not very good).

The assumption that it's a precision oil tap makes sense until I think about using those two side tap adapters.

Could it be related to the venturi effect? In that case I think it would be an aspiration instrument

In my quest for the medical tool I have found its perfect match.

Yup, they're called "Tofflemire Matrix Bands Retainer" [among other things].
There's the handle too, which I think is a some brand of "Dental Octagon Examination Handle". The new version of these can be picked up for cheap.

Ottostudios have flicked you a msg.

Going back to the main tool..

Personally, I missed this scene in my search...

Maybe it was really a electric tool? or is it just an effect? whatever it is, I see an electric arc and a cable...

 

[Ottostudios]

For now is ok for my

But I keep looking....

 

[Ottostudios]

These are my assumptions so far.

I think it's a suction tool... what do you think?

 

[Ottostudios]

Ok guys

We have something.

It seems to be a mini gas welder with the option of connecting an oxygen cylinder (venturi effect..... )

 

[joberg]

Wow...great research and, after all those years, the joy of knowing what the heck was that prop

 

[Buissonland]

Wanna know more ? Here are some pics of the model that a friend found online. (French Craiglist).
It is, indeed a mini gas welder as you can see on the attached images.
I'm currently working on a 3D model of it with, obviously, real references.
I'll keep you posed on this project !
