Implement for practical use (7)
I believe the answer is:
utensil
'implement for practical use' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
This is all the clue.
(Other definitions for utensil that I've seen before include "Can opener, for example" , "knife, maybe" , "Containers for kitchen use" , "Implement, maybe in kitchen" , "A tool for household use" .)
