twenty questions

Is it a tool?

yes, of sorts

is it metallic?

but not a compound tool, as such

Yes, it is partially metalic

is it a swiss army knife?

no

Does it have a sharp edge?

i'll say a sword

no, none sharp enough to cut with

no

is it cylindrical?

that is a difficult question.

The object itself is not cylindrical in appearance,
however, it is arguably made of cylindrical voids.

I'm not sure about the official rules but I think that question deserves a free spin

Cylindrical voids, hmm, are there holes in it?

yes, there are 2 open holes and some others

This is a tough one, are the open holes the same size?

no, one is about 4x larger than the other

Is it some type of container?

iron
copper
tungsten
silicon
aluminum
carbon
silver

bronze
Bakelite

no, not a storage container
though you must put something into it to make it a useful tool.

Yes

We must be getting close to twenty questions.
