I am trying to figure out what this long handled screw driver handle with the weird end was used for. It is a Proto # 9810.

Brake shoe return spring tool ?

Looks like a screwdriver that was modified for some specific purpose, could have been anything...

It appears to have started life as a big screwdriver.

Kind of looks like the one I made for pushing the valve guides up on ford 8n engines.

It is similar to my brake spring puller but wider, so I would say something similar but more specialized.

It has not been modified, it was made that way.

modified screw driver for popping door locks?

Dad made one very close to that to pull oil seals that were just a little too far in for conventional pull tools. Works pretty good.

used to roll fan belts on or off without slacking the tension adjustment.

Looks like it's a screw driver converted to a special tool. I have a smaller similar one ground to remove the main jet from a P220 Onan engine with out removing the carb. or exhaust shrouding.

I googled that Proto number, and it was just a conventional flat-bladed screwdriver. So someone has modified it for a special purpose.

BigdanT nailed it. I have one I used on the valves on an Ford 8N that looks just like it.
