It's a StaRat, invented by a Dart Transit driver maybe 15 years ago. It's used to pull the pin that slides the tandems on semi trailers. I had one all my years at Dart. You hook the hook on either the trailer latch release it on the truck fudtg wheel release and give it a little tug, that releases the piston and that flat goes against the frame and applies pressure to the latch. You can then work the trailer to relieve the pressure on the pins and when they are loose that thing pulls them. It then can stay there holding the lever while you slide the tandems.

They used to sell for $100.00, don't know what they are now.
