This tool was found at garbage on road side. I was thinking of two possible use but if you can give another one or confirm the use I would appreciate. 1- Used in mechanic to pry the suspension lower control arm t osee if there is play in the bushings 2- Used by firemen to pry a door with ribbed part first then the hand to slide on the door and break it.
I think you can safely rule out it being used for suspension. That would be a pickle fork and it had a surface to strike with a hammer which this doesn't have. The fork prongs were also tapered.
I use a fork similar to this one to pry the control arm itself to see if the bushings are loose and you are probably talking about the fork used to test balljoints that have an end that you strike. I found out it seems to be a truck tire pry tool but I can't evaluate the year.
