Came home with a 1/2" extension. 10 1/2" long. Heavily built. 3/4" diameter shank. Little smudges of red paint that look original.
And it's female on both ends.
Any thoughts?

For square head "stove bolts" on farm machinery?

One of M.C. Escher's tools, used in maintaining his buildings.

I can see M.C. Escher using one !

I think that is a drawing of a typical hospital that has been added onto about 17 times

I have several extensions that have 1/2 inch double male ends, but I have never seen a extension with double female ends in any drive size. That drawing should be in color, so it could like blow my mind dude.

Sounds like you've done construction work in a hospital; or worked in one; or had occasion to visit lots of friends in one.
My one uncle, in his later years, got to be a regular customer at his nearest hospital, in the next town over from us; when I went to visit him there, I felt like I should bring a lunch and a bag of color-coded bread crumbs: the lunch to sustain me as I walked down endless hallways and around endless corners, and the bread crumbs so I could find my way back.

I don't like even thinking about hospitals. I have been told that the board of directors at my hospital are thinking about naming the new hospital wing after me. I have been there to many times in the last 7 plus years and they have kept me alive for which I am grateful. Thank God for great health insurance and modern medicine. 50 years ago tonight I had to spend 5 weeks in the hospital because of some kids and Halloween fun. Rant over.

The PR folks at that hospital are going to have a hard time explaining the new "Evil Doctor Surgery Wing." Patients may be reluctant to check in, too.

Especially when they discover they may never check out!

No, that's the concern at the Black Flag Roach Motel Memorial Wing.

And here i thought that was Hotel California :huh:

Yeah, but what about the female to female extension that started all this comedy!
-
What??? You want to stay on topic?
Wish I knew. That surely made sense to the manufacturer, and to whoever bought it; but it doesn't to me.

I think they sell those female to female extensions in the DIRTY store.

Some guys like to check them out, but they really don't want to buy one?

I've got ½" M-M with female ratchet sets, but F-F? Female square to female hex are used for lug nuts, but tapered rod.
My guess would be for removing plugs - they mostly have square heads. I'm thinking steel/cast iron/ malleable iron. Most brass plugs have hex heads.
1/2" plug is .56" square, 3/8" is .44" square.
For fire protection our smallest is 1/2" where sprinkler heads thread in.
Double check the dimensions, if both are right at 1/2" I am off on my guess.
Another possibility is a drive shaft as part of an assembly. I would think that the holes would be longer than needed for a drive tool extension.

The holes are right at 1/2"---and they are 1 1/4" at the deepest. Hmmm....

Sounds like it might be an inline socket wrench.

Mine has a round shaft. So, that doesn't seem likely. I have some like this:
