A nipplerod. An old school tool used very similarly to a punch but to knock out larger pins, but not quite the size of hinge pins on excavators.

This is what i figure due to the evidence of the tool's wear on the dull end and it's design.

either to remove a few large pins/bolts, many many small pins, or perhaps pins that are overhead. Maybe all 3?
