The front shape implies cutting tool, and the shape says round....
The hook implies its pulled thru to cut.
It looks like a sheet metal punch...
Cobbler was pretty sharp, and probably close.
Mmm...

I meant to say, LOOKS like...
I think its a great idea to clear roots from a pipe tho, regardless of what it is!
so I suspect it's being pulled thru a 4" pipe of some sort... hmmmmmm

AAAAAAHHHHHHH No! I want to know before I go to bed
It is a cutter for removing the ID weld bead on **** fused HDPE pipe.
My son in law works for a directional drilling company and was telling me how they were having a time getting the beads out of the pipe with tool they made.
He brought the tool to me and it easy to see why it did not work well.
I made him one of these and it worked good.
His boss saw it and ordered 2ea 4" and 2ea 6"

Baldewin was right. Mandrel is kind of a generic term, but still. Large ones are pulled through tunnels, small ones are pulled through pipe. Some are used to test joints, others are used just to clear the way.
cool!
thanks for sharing. it was fun
