It looks like a frictionless nut unlocking tool. The ones they put on meter cans when its been vandalized so much the locking hook is gone.

I was working on a job today and came in need of a special tool. One I carry all the time in the truck, but don't need all that often. But when I need it, it really saves my butt. As I was using it, I thought of that section of This Old House (Maybe it's Ask This Old House?) where Norm, Kevin, Tom, Richard and Roger pass around unusual tools and guess what it is.

FYI, it's about the same thickness as the quarter shown for scale.
Anyone care to take a guess? I don't know if there's a real name for it, but I have my own. And if there is a real name, I'd like to know what it is.....
