skimmers
Pool cleaning tools
Skimmers are tools or devices that skim—removing material from a surface.
A kitchen skimmer lifts foam or solids from cooking liquid.
A pool skimmer catches floating debris.
In criminal contexts, a skimmer is a device attached to ATMs or card readers to steal credit card information: Someone installed a skimmer at the gas station.
Skimmers are also wide-brimmed straw hats, or birds that feed by flying low and dragging their bills through water.
