how to use this?

.
It's the spring out of my laser printer that I lost whilst repairing it a while back.
Where did you find it?

Its a broken zippedydoodah that was used to hold Bill Shorten's backstabbers knife under his suit coat , he's getting a new one made so don't tell Albo ...Ok ?

It's almost certainly a main chassis rail reinforcement bar, from a Great Wall ute.

They are known to fall off on regular occasions - to the great dismay of any Toyota vehicle owner who may be following behind, who may run over it with their ute, causing severe vehicle damage.

It's best disposed of quickly to your nearest scrap metal dealer - but don't mention it's off a GW ute, they may refuse to buy it, due to metal quality concerns. [;-)

If it is around 20mm dia and hollow tube then it is part of the rack of a quadbike. Have a look at an older quad bike and you will see very similar/same bars.

it's for use with a tow ball or bar somehow - that's what I am trying to find out....

Is it part of a weight distribution hitch? Perhaps a very old one?

the handle for Thors hammer ?

To me it looks broken at the LH end and was once symmetrical.

If so it could be a clip similar to say a Pandrol clip used to hold railway lines in place.

I recon its a sway bar off a motor bike , but one end is broken off.

Looks like a broken spring that may have helped lift up a tailgate on a trailer or horse float.

Can't help Aussie but it does remind me of some early medical implements we saw at theOld Operating Theatre Museum & Herb Garret. A fascinating place to visit for anyone who gets to London.
