WTF is it?

Bought this at a yard sale earlier this year... Only identifying marks on it are Mi-Spreader cast into the handle. When the handle is all the way down it over-centers to hold something in place and has a place for a lock pin to ensure it doesn't come loose.

Speculum for cattle? 486 butthole spreader?

Actually just found out it is a tire spreader. Makes sense now.

Also M1, not Mi.

Yeah I realized that after I found out it was a tire spreader! The casting quality isn't fine enough to distinguish 1's from I's

A dozen of those are way more money than cutting up a 2x4. Well, maybe not these days...

I already have a fancy tire spreader that used to have a hydraulic jack on it and I converted it over to an air cylinder... Suppose I'll just put this one by the tire machine in case I happen to need it for something.
