Whatever you think this image is, you're probably wrong.

Trivial Einstein reshared this.

They aren't, but you're closer than the obvious answer. They do indeed rely on suction to function and the shafts are handles rather than the action item, so to speak. I'm a devilish tease though.

I'm afraid that, while they do indeed rely on suction to function, they are not plungers. You're closer than my initial thought was though 😅

tile movers (they're usually more like an old telephone handset, but smaller tiles perhaps).

Very close, but not quite correct. Congratulations on getting much closer than I did when I saw them 😅

While still not correct that's an idea I didn't have (to be as unfair to myself as possible, I didn't think of the correct answer either) and it's even closer to the truth.

They look like the suction-cups window guys use to move panes of glass.

Weird color, though...

Well, there's what a thing is intended for, and what it can be used for...
