Nobody seems to care about figuring it out so I'll go ahead and reveal it.

It's a keychain bit driver

The idea is that you're supposed to put a coin in that slot so you can turn it.

It works pretty well, the only problem is that the bits are sometimes hard to pull out.
Not much to grip onto when you need want to use a different bit.

Overall it's not bad for $10, it's sold under the brand True Utility and all their stuff comes in these hard plastic " waterproof " boxes

I don't think it was no one cared, but rather no one one had the first effing clue as to what it was!

Adding this bit of copy from another website. That might help on the ability to add torque.

" Simply remove the quick release clip and slide a key or coin into the slotted end to add torque so you can undo/do up the toughest of screws."

Thats pretty slick. I had not seen that style before.

I just figured nobody cared, you're all pretty dang smart so it hadn't occurred to me that you just had no clue.

Btw, they forgot a step  ;D
You have to take the other bits out before a coin will fit in that slot
Also since TRUE UTILITY is a UK based company the slot is fairly wide to accommodate their coins that are thicker than ours.

I have one for you. It is made out of black plastic and 6" long. Just a slight depression in the end and not a hole.

Looks like some kind of key to me, but that can't be right.

I'm thinkin' some sort of key is a little too obvious.  Since it's plastic I'm gonna guess it's for a non-marring purpose, like removing/releasing interior panels or other parts a metallic tool would potentially mangle?

It is a locomotive reverser key. It plugs into the control stand so you can place the loco in forward, neutral or reverse.

1 delicious can of Fosters to the winner.
No goggling the part numbers when you blow it up.
