Must be for picking up the end of some sort of pipe.

I would rather have tools I never use, than to need a tool I don't have.

To pick up the tongue of garden tractor trailer?

I thought this would be easy, once you know you'll say you gotta be kidding me.

OK, it's to hold something your wife is making you paint.

notta, I just tell yall. Its for picking up walnuts, lol.

My back has been giving me a fit here lately so I came
up with a way to pick em up w/o squating or bending over.
I was surprized as how well it works, just squeeze the wire
together and pick up and dump into a bucket. It takes a
little longer than raking them in a pile and scooping them up,
but what the hey, I saved my back.

Sounds like what you need is a golf ball pick up device. If the walnuts aren't too big, you can pick up a bag full with one of these and then just dump them all in a bucket.
