What is this part? A pawl?

One of my coworkers found this the hard way. It was stuck in his tire and ruined the tire. I said let me take some pics cause I have some guys that will tell us like right away lol.

You forgot to lay down a ruler or a coin for scale.

I think it's a leeveright.

It's roughly 6"-7" in length

I have no idea what it is, all I know is I'd be a pawled if I found it in MY tire.

Looks like part of a ratchet, of a load strap.

Could be off a car hauler of some kind, a ratchet part as McKutzy says.
