What is this irrigation tool?

Does anyone know what this tool is?

Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community. It's fantastic have you join us, and thank you for sharing your question about your irrigation tool.

It seems to be a specialized tool that requires it to ram the plastic sleeve into the irrigation pipe to increase its size. However, just to be sure let me do a bit of an investigation for you. Once I have more information, I'll post it here as soon as I can.

Let me call on our experienced members @Adam_W, @TedBear and @JoeAzza to see if they can identify this tool.

If you have any other questions we can help with, please let us know.

My gardener just got back to me and said it was a handle from his drill !!!

Haha, all good @Wozza. We love a good mystery here on Workshop. Glad to see you cracked the case.

Feel free to post anytime you need a hand. We'd love to also read about any projects you are tackling.

A very long handle.

Get back to him @Wozza - is it to resist large torque on a drill using an earth drilling auger blade? 😁

I like your thinking Eric. The shadow in the first picture made it look like two prongs tapering into a long plastic tapered sleeve. I could imagine such a tool if it existed being useful for expanding irrigation tube to assist inserting various end pieces. The tapered sleeve would need to be two parts joined at the bottom to allow it to expand as the two rods were pushed into it. It's a pity that such an implement doesn't exist... or does it?
