I don't want this one to get blown up out of proportion. So make it quick. What is it?

When I was setting this one up I realised that this could be a lot of things. You confirmed it below. So here is a list of ones that we all think it could be and some I found on the Internet.
Ice hook; meat hook; hay bale hook; hand gaff; sack hook; Gunny sack hook; Ice jack;

Pyrrhula - is the one who got this absolutely right My picture shows a Sack Hook. My grandfather was the captain of a small coal steamer running coal from Northern Ireland during WWII. Sailing up the Thames in a coal laden steamer during the blitz was dangerous work. This was one of the hooks from his boat that was used to drag sacks on and off the cargo pallets during loading and unloading. It is interesting because the handle has actually been replaced. If you look carefully you see it is an old hammer handle that has been adapted and bolted back on.

Here is a classic sack hook... http://www.ooklnet.com/web/read_more.php?id=277643
Classic sack hook like mine from the London Docklands: http://www.newhamstory.com/node/2275
Here is a Gunny Sackhook (no-idea!)... http://bit.ly/qlOzqu
Here is a Gunny sack hook in a nasty accident! ... http://bit.ly/pICrtj (from the Sarawak Times).

Honorable mentions...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Brad Johnson - Cap'n Hook's prosthesis. Net says:-->> Yes! Award of the day goes to Brad. Congratulations, you get the 'armless sailor award! [Like the pun there?]. Cool answer Brad! Yaaahoooo!

Lee Gordon - its a hand gaff Net says:-->> Not a big gaff then! LOL.

Ariel Magyawe Jr. - yea, an ice hook? but to PeterPan, it would be Capt. Hooks one hand! :)) Net says:-->> Oooops! No, but a Doohicky Award! Yaahy!

Leslie Manna - Hi again Damon - These are fun! In my part of the world we call it an "ice chuck"; it is used to grab blocks of ice cut from a frozen river, or from the back of an ice truck, etc. Be well, Les Net says:-->> I wonder what the 'chuck' part means. Round here 'to chuck' is to throw something. Hmmm! Interesting.

Sara's Dad - everyone else to mine. But , I must say, i like the shot of it. Net says:-->> Thank you. Not often these shots get complements. LOL. Most people are trying to think of smart answers I guess. LOL. The answers make me laugh anyway.

Trina Holub - It's for picking up bales of hay. :-) Or killing young people in horror flicks. Net says:-->> Oooops! Not a killer prop, but you get a Doohicky Award! Yaahy!

Andrea Freeman - I would say ice pick but like the idea of bales of hay too. Whichever it is it makes for a nice photo. Net says:-->> Nice comments always gratefully accepted. Preen Preen!

Paula Brumbe - Oh, this is all the rage on Farmville, and it seems my quick google search of hay bale carrier or non motorized weed wacker is only showing me how to use a red shovel on Farmville for Facebook. So my official answer is a farm implement that deals with grasses that need to be cut, dried and baled and then moved. Net says:-->> Wow. Waffle of the day award here. Nice one. LOL. Correct!

TJ's World - That would be a bail hook. Great shot of it! Net says:-->> Thanks! You are pretty wonderful yourself. Lets all feel good today! LOL.

Howard N - Some might call this instrument a backscratcher, but they are wrong, as that was earlier in the week. This is a second cousin to an ice hook, and we call it a 'hay bale hook.' Net says:-->> OOOH! That as a back scratcher! Thats gotta hurt. LOL. See the link to the accident above.

Kathy A - A croquet mallet with a hook on the end. Net says:-->> Ah ha! Those are the ones for doing "lying-on-your-back-and-wrong-way-round" trick shots then! a "Doohicky Award!" Yahhhhhhoo!

scooter - A prop from a horror film. Net says:-->> Who said its a prop. see the colour red in the rust? Is that real blood? Creepy! a "Doohicky Award!" Yajho!

Pyrrhula - i know those tool from the harbour. They use it by ( un ) load bags and bales. Net says:-->> Yes, a sack hook. Absolutely correct.

Vanessa Walters - Very strong image you have here. Net says:-->> Thank you. I bet you are pretty gorgeous too!

Paula Cook-Farkas - A croquet mallet for people who like to win, by any means necessary! I'd say that kind of attitude has been around for centuries! Net says:-->> Absolutely! a "Doohicky Award!" Yahhhhha!

Interesting interpretations. Thanks for stopping by. Nice comments are always appreciated.
Take care.

Lee and June are correct, it is bicycle tire pump. Looks like the mobile variety that is attached to the bike frame, so you won't leave home without it and be caught flat.

well, not to blow up out of proportion I guess one would have to be a lemming sheep follower and go with bicycle pump thing a ma doohicky a bob. I would rather it be a motorboat engine fuse though.
