Besides bad spelling in the title...
Was looking at a property today and came across something I haven't seen.
Condo utility room. 1/4 inch shaft. 6 inches long. The end has two splines on it.
It's about 5 feet off the ground. I did not attempt to turn it.
Any ideas?

Capped of water line?
It looks to be in a stud, judging by the possible nail pops below it.Quote:

Congrats- you found Jimmy Hoffa. Geraldo will be calling you any moment.
Screwdriver or similar shank.
Seriously though the prior probably drove it into the wall to be a heavy duty hanger.
Bust the drywall out and let us know..
Hmmm, it could be a screw driver pounded in to the stud and missing it's handle.

Good call guys, and thanks. It has been "driving" me nuts all day.
If you pull it out, you will be utility closet king for a day.

Good call. I went back and hit the area with a stud finder and then pulled it out.
No idea why they did that. It had a couple coats of paint on it so it may have been there a long time.
Maybe used it to hang their instruction manuals for the washer and dryer.

The previous owner just wanted to how much of a fucktrad you were, and see how long you would leave it up…….
The plumber that put in the water heater had to have somewhere to hang his light so he wouldn’t keep tripping over it.
Pounded a screwdriver into the wall, broke the handle and said Fuggit when they were done.
I wonder if it was set into a valve or something behind the wall.
