Obnoxious waster fights about storing tools (8)
I believe the answer is:
fretsaws
'tools' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both man-made objects as well as being plural nouns.
Maybe you can see a link between them that I don't see?
'obnoxious waster fights about storing' is the wordplay.
'storing' indicates a hidden word.
'about' says the letters should be written in reverse.
'swasterf' is hidden within 'obnoxious waster fights'.
'swasterf' written backwards gives 'FRETSAWS'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for fretsaws that I've seen before include "They're used to cut curved outlines" , "They cut curves" .)
