What is this thing?

[bcp]

I thought it was some kind of a large tire spoon, something I could use for that or for a pry bar when its shape would be best. Only cost $3.

Looking on line with many different tire ____ searches, I found nothing. Maybe it's Bigfoot's shoe horn.

The two convex ends appear to have been very smooth, maybe polished, and unpainted, but now slightly rusty. The concave side is all painted and has a few paint scratches.

Boards are 2x6, for a size reference.

Tire spoon a good guess... I don't know but now following along. Love a good mystery, especially when tools are involved.

I think I found it. I remembered there were also some auto body tools where I bought it, so I started looking there.

If I recall correctly, they are sometimes called a "slapper".

$126 new... if you ever use it, the $3 was well spent. Or... you can call it 'garage art' similar in vein to garden art.

If I recall correctly, they are sometimes called a "slapper".

That's an old (and very un-PC) slang word for a woman of loose morals.

I had a laugh too when I saw it, scrubber means the same thing.
