What is it? (Amateur Version POST06)

Here is the sixth post in the series. As usual, I will try to answer questi=

Fair enough.

Question: Is the handle shown on the pictured tool made from a material that would have been found on the original plug tools or is it made from a more "modern" material? I don't know...just asking.

More specifically, I think it's a plug insertion tool for tubeless bicycle =
tires.

ir-kit/

If it was for a car tire, it would have a T-handle for a better grip when p=
ulling the plug through the thick tread:

Well - I used to have a straight handled plug tool for car tires. I got rid
of it when I found a T-handle model though. When they first came out, the
straight handles were common.

The early ones I spoke of had plastic handles that were very much like the
handle of a screwdriver. Don't know how that meets the definition of a
"more modern material".

The one shown was just like the one I used a few times on my first van.
