I don't think it is a pipe or tube bender.  By the way the straight leg is reinforced, I am guessing it is pushing against something while the bent leg holds on.

My guess is some kind of wrench for a union lug nut of some kind.

Could it be a front-end alignment tool?

I'll guess it's for a packing nut , inside a tube.
