electric pipe

 Found in the woods. Laid it on the detector for size. It's 3 ft. long.
It has electric wires coming out the side and the top of the handle.
The bottom is around 2 1/2 in.wide.
The lower handle is 15 inches from the bottom were two pieces of iron are welded to a galvanised pipe cap.
Any ideas what it is or what it could have been used for.

Looks like a water or gas valve cutoff tool. I think the wires were just stuck in it. Tony

Looks like a homemade valve actuator..

I know it's not much help but years ago when I worked in maintenance we welded something similar up to access a valve through a cover in the shop withouh having to climb inside it.

I agree looks like a homeade water/gas valve key with a T handle.

They also use things like this to pull well pumps out with.

 I agree that it is gas or water valve tool. The wires had me going.
