Anyone know? It’s some type of pry bar, I found it in the road. Just over four feet long, good steel. It doesn’t work that well as a conventional pry bar, the angles are wrong. It appears to be made for a specific purpose/job, but I don’t know what that is.
It was a bit scuffed up, I dressed any sharp edges and painted it.

It didn't originally have that curve & the forked end is a little bent too... That bar has seen some hard use... I have a similar bar in the shed...
When on your neas it would work great for a shingles remover, because of the angle of each end, I know a fellow that has three of them.
And yes, it could have been heated to accommodate that shape for removing shingles and the nails. Light yellow doesn't get hot is my thought on this
By the size of the straps and hooks that match it, I could pick up a dead or possibly a live animal with it. Hmmm. Weigh a moose without picking it up 12 ft. I LIKE IT !!!
My intitial gut was a points adjusting tool, for some Krautwagon, & I sent pics to My Buddy/former co-worker Jose` who is into M-B's. His research led to ads for the tool listed as such. I'm not into VW's, any mfr. that actually hobs the crank sprocket for the oil pump drive right into the crank itself, I'll take a hard pass on every time.
I think the confusion is there is an American Bosch Magneto Company version of the tool, I believe it to be a points tool after checking the ad out.

That's exactly what it is: a rigging sling. This design is called a bridle sling, because the attachment points, or legs, all meet at a single bridle. They're very handy if you move a lot of heavy equipment with unbalanced loads, or heavy plate steel.

As a long time crane operator @Righty Tighty is absolutely correct. There is one in every rigging box that supports a crane.
The Jurassic Park scene from the Raptor terminal comes to mind now. hahah
Actually an appliance.
Toaster ?
Yup. Gonna test drive it right now.

Fancy one at that...it holds 4 slices
I should not say test drive. We used it a lot when we I was a young camper. Just no recent experience.
