Miss V saw this at the thrift store for a dollar.
I know I have seen one on here before, but can't remember what it was.
I put it in my shop.

Richard G,

I know what it is. I will let other take a stab at it. No one guessed it yet,

Guido.

 

[Richard G.]

Thanks Guido.

A dandelion digger!

 

[DoubleO7]

Whatever it is that is what we used it for.
Dandelions and other weeds with a carrot style root.

 

[AzPeapicker]

I think its a puller for tacks & maybe staples for upholstery .

If it's small.... it could be a button puller from a sewing kit.

Have always used the one I have for removing auto trim panels and plastic push pin type fasteners found on cars, trucks, ATVs etc.

Used one as a kid, weeding the yard. Now have a long handled one so I dont have to get down on my knees.

Mule Meat nailed it. It's an older longer version of this which is used as stated above. It's really indispensable when you really need one. A plain old screw driver just doesn't do the job as nicely as this tool does.

I learned its name as asparagus harvesting knife, but most are sold today as weed knife or weed digger.

Nope not the same.
No slot and they round handle part would interfere with getting behind the panels.

The one the original poster posted does have a slotted end.
As I said. I use one just like he posted a picture of almost on a daily bases doing oil changes.

Yes. They make hundreds of different types of trim panel tools and I have many types from flat plastic to Z shaped metal ones.

Well since I don't grow any asparagus, I'll use mine for what I actually purchased it for, removing auto door panels.

Richard G,

Mine is pretty worn. My father in-law used it to pull up weeds.

I thought it was called asparagus picker,

Guido.

 

[Richard G.]

Thanks Guido.
I need to start some asparagus here.
We like it but have never grown it.

 

[DoubleO7]

What slot?
I see a V notch only.

And how do you use it during an oil change?
