anyone know what this tool is for?
it was found in a gravel pit 30 years ago
The hammer end is to hammer things.
The peen end is for peening things.
The grabby end is for grabbing things.

Homemade street key, for opening closing water valves.

Breaking rock into gravel?

And some guy got it stuck in a PTO which is why the whole thing is twisted.
The guy is also in the gravel pit somewhere.

OP Ive worked at a rock quarry most of my life and I've never seen some shit like that. Lol. Maybe someone made a custom tool? Probably to shut water off and then dig out a plugged up pipe or wash chute?

That's the original dragon dildo

It is from one of these, only much larger. Looks like someone made one for themselves or that is a replacement part. It isn't an original part for the machine. It was most likely cold twisted after it was removed, "just for fun".

That's ......... beautiful.

Yep. The twists aren't regular, so they're designed to accept another part.

That is one of the most amazing things I've ever seen. I mean, I know we have built spacecraft and microprocessors, but goddamn that is an awesome piece of innovation.

Near to one of the phone exchanges down here that was built before cheap pnumatic drills is a rock full holes just like that, that the construction workers just gave up on and left in the yard. I always wondered how they got the holes looking so smooth and round.
Now I know

The oily rag in the back pocket and the cigar just add to this beautiful machine.
