Looks like a double ended socket that is driven manually by the two prongs
sticking out either side. Each end of the socket would be a different size.

Good guess GAK but it's wrong. I'll see who else pipes up and give a hint or
two later if no one gets it but I'm sure someone will. It's not that tough.

close....single multi handle socket
Mrkim Report This Comment Date: September 13, 2011 12:41AM
Don't really have a clue what it is but ... it looks like there might be a
square drive female socket on one end and since the other end is a bigger
diameter I'd guess there might be a larger similar square drive on the other
end, but that's the best I can offer
Mrkim Report This Comment Date: September 13, 2011 12:46AM
Dunno, but it looks like there's a female square drive socket on one end, so
maybe a bigger one on the other end too? I have no idea WTF it is though

A little warmer. What is the specific use?
Hint #1:
Each of the 4 ends do have a different size socket.
Kim replied while I was composing that. More in a bit.

This is fun. We've got to do more of it.
That's a good eye Mr Kim. Yes it is a square driver you see there and there's
one on each of the 4 ends, all different sizes.
Another hint is warranted. The picture is very nearly the actual size.

Wow, dunno WTF happened above but when I tried postin the 1st message it gave
me a message it thought my response was spam and waddn gonna post it, though
evidently it did. So .... I made the second post thinkin the 1st hadn't
posted.
Que the Twilight Zone music
News flash .... still have no idea WTF this is for

Ok, here's a swag .... some kind of a tuning tool
BlahX3 Report This Comment Date: September 13, 2011 01:12AM
Damn, that IS a real good guess Kim but still wrong. Some tuning tools (like
for autoharps and zither thingies) do have a square socket but that ain't what
this is.
Another hint? Ok... think outside the mechanic's tool box.

Nope and that song sucks.
I'll give another hint which should be a dead give-away...
It would be handy for a home-owner, a gardener or a grounds-keeper to have.

Portable, multi-sized hose-tap handle.
Mrkim Report This Comment Date: September 13, 2011 02:14AM
Oh, oh, oh ...... a sprinkler head adjuster
BlahX3 Report This Comment Date: September 13, 2011 02:14AM
Bingo! It is indeed a multi-sized water spigot handle. Everyone calls those
hose water valve things by a different name but that is what the little bugger
is. Yay Gak! You won nothing buddy. I'm so broke I can't afford to pay
attention.
Now I gotta find some more odd ball things to
take pics of.

its a water key
BlahX3 Report This Comment Date: September 13, 2011 04:07PM
Yes, specifically a 4-way water key. There are all sorts of tools called water
keys that turn on and off various types of water valves from long t-handled with
a wide forked kinda end for street shutoff valves to small things with one
square socket for a hose bib. This one was just purchased a couple of days ago
by and I'd never seen this kind before.
