Is this a test? Or do you not know?

This tool is used to twist the tie wires used to tie rebar together. The
tie wires come with loops on each end, they are wrapped around the
intersection of two re-bars, then the tool inserted in the loops and spun
with a twist of the wrist.

I'll see if i can find a pic of the operation of said tool.

I thought it was a cotter pin remover but you're probably right. It
could double as a cotter pin removal tool though, at least for the
larger pins.

I've seen re-bar mentioned a couple of times, but it was also used to close
bags with a wire tie. Feed bags, seed bags, etc.
