Hello, I found this at the flea this morning. Seller didn't know what to call it, others looked and still no definitive answer. I have a few guesses of my own, but I will wait until I hear from you guys/gals!!! It weighs in at 3 pounds, and the ball end looks like it has never been struck. The pins are actually nails, former owner put in a few coated nail replacements. I am guessing the original nails were hardened, as in a masonry nail, Thanks for looking, Lou

 cool,is the end/head held with a screw?

Yes, here is a photo showing the location of the slotted flat head screw. You can also see the head of the alignment pin. Thanks, Lou

Ice crusher? I have a long handled tool with a spike filled head that was marked at an auction as an ice crushing tool.

Possibly!! That was one of my guesses, but I could not confirm, even after looking at quite a few photos of Ice Chippers. I also tried Scaling Tool and Bush Hammer, still no hits!!  Thanks, Lou

Bad children attitude adjuster.

I see this heading downhill quickly 

Could it be a steak greith?

Nutcracker in this case can be given low odds.  Meat tenderizer does seem directionally correct.

At least we know it's not a tire patching tool.

Hello, Northwoods. Thanks for the info, but it doesn't look like it would work as the tool you posted. The head of this has a flat where the shoulder on the handle butts to it, so a handle passing all the way through does not look right, in my opinion. Regards, Lou

Another stumper?? 

This is my ice tool, 33 inches long and weighs about 5 pounds.

Wow, that is an awesome Ice Chipper!! Looks like the concept is the same as what I have. Are the pins/points replaceable on yours? Thanks, Lou

I never took the handle off but I don't think the points are replaceable.
