OK. I learned to call it a T Post driver, but that is correct.

Thank you John
Power, driver, hammer all the same thing. Tool used to install T posts. Getting them out is a different matter. Well here is something that may not be so eazy. It has nothing to do with T posts and no it's not a sonic screwdriver. So tell me either what it is or what it does.

It looks like a telescopic handle for something.

I think I see a tapered thread and an internal passage at one end. Do you screw this into a fluid system to get a sample or introduce something into the fluid?

Good eye. Yes it is screwed into a fluid system but not for sampling or fluid introduction.
Guess I should give a clue since it's been nearly 24 hours. It comes in diffrence sizes fron 6 to 8 inches in diameter.

Related to air conditioning or refrigeration?

If you push on the end, does it click on or off?

No.

Please see the hint, it comes in diffrent sizes. From 6 to 8 inches in diameter. So it's much larger than a pen or flashlight.

I will add that it is between 10 and 15 feet long.

People are starting to zero in.
Part of a pump? no
Something to do with drilling holes in the ground? Yes
Hydraulic hammer? That would have been my first guess and I would have been wrong. Close but wrong.
