:eusa-think: I'm having difficulty trying to combine something one would find in a stationery / art supply shop with something that emits X-rays.

@DATo

The X-Rays thing is a curious perk of the object (and an obscure fact), not its main purpose.
The main purpose is to join things.

OK - Time for an easy riddle: I didn't have time to create an original one. Sorry!
I have a magnet but I don’t stick to metal
I have a needle but I can’t sew
I sometimes have scales but I can’t weigh anything
I help you find your way but I’m not a map
I have N E W S on me but I’m not a TV
