Welcome back to Dan’s photo challenge. He’s running a series related to the thought of inventions and gizmos. I’ve occasionally struggled with finding photos for this series but Dan’s rules are “if you think it fits, it fits” so let’s embrace that, shall we?

This week’s theme is Special Tools. You can check out Dan’s weekly photos at the prompt post here.

A tool unique to Polynesian fire dancing. It’s a sight you won’t soon forget.
