Stan, it looks like some sort of a caulking iron. If straight, it would be useful to restore damaged door jambs, running boards, etc. Hard to tell from here, but does the top bar of the "T" have a radius? If only radiused the long way, would it fit into a trunk opening rain gutter? If radiused both ways, would it fit under a fender edge roll?

I've had one of those for many years. The hex fits into a P F socket on their porta power. Though I use an ancient Snap On (1948) that I got with a lot of attachments, I did end up with an adapter that works so I can shove into the inside body radius around the rear fender body lines. The other pushing tools I have are vee'd for tubing or outside sharp corner pushing, or they have a sharp edge for inside corners, or round for pushing crowns, so that radius is handy.
