    This is a metal tool approximately 8 inches long. The handle is a
    metal tube but covered in red rubbery plastic.

    I do not know what this tool is. My first thought on seeing it was
    that it is a novelty Giant Bottle Opener but it is over-designed as it
    is a strong steel tool with a good quality grip/cover. It could
    obviously be used to pry off covers (perhaps off buckets) but the
    dimensions are not like other examples I've found.
    A new suggestion is that is used to reseal metal lids on buckets.

    reddit has identified this tool as a car entry/exit assistance lever:

    Mine is missing the flashlight.
