A '''tractor beam''' is a stream of [[spaceship]]s that can draw an object toward the source of the stream. Many [[sawtooth]]s work by using tractor beams, including [[parabolic sawtooth]], [[sawtooth 633]], and [[sawtooth 1212]] – the first sawtooth ever constructed. An example of a [[gun]] using tractor beam is [[Vacuum_(gun)|vacuum cleaner]].

A tractor beam is a stream of spaceships that can draw an object toward the source of the stream. Many sawtooths work by using tractor beams, including parabolic sawtooth, sawtooth 633, and sawtooth 1212 – the first sawtooth ever constructed. An example of a gun using tractor beam is vacuum .
