Vampire Prevention Tool.
To be driven into the heart of anyone before burial. Many satisfied customers through out the ages kept their loved ones in the grave where they were put.

It is made of wood and would make Dracula quiver in his cape.
But what is this outdoor tool. And try to have a right answer before I run out RAC.

It's got to be either a center punch but the tip is too wide
or

Or one other thing is a Hen Way.

None of the above.
JumpingJohnny's joke does say what it is. But what is its use.
