It looks like some sort of pneumatic torque wrench for space to tighten bolts.

Just in case Cyrus' answer isn't good enough, let's call it a "zero angular moment impact wrench."

It could be intended for space walks as a means of moving an astronaut that is floating.Gokul43201 said:

3 points to Fred.
It's strange that both Cyrus and Bystander went with the Zero-G Power Wrench. Well, I guess that takes this picture out of the game then :

I think all of the wrenches that are not manual are electric. The dual ends on the other reminded me of the actual one seen tested on a space walk.Gokul43201 said:

Okay, you get the 3 points.cyrusabdollahi said:
That was a trick question. The bird in the picture is actually an F-16A Fighting Falcon. It was received by the Thunderbirds before they officially adopted the F-16C (in fact, it was received by them before the C-variant existed, and the Thunderbirds were probably still flying Talons at the time). So, later, they repainted it with the Thunderbird colors.
But I'm not feeling mean enough to dock you for that.
