That's a Tire Thumper
Sold as a way to "check tires". Really just an excuse to carry a weapon.
Common sense is my everyday carry.
Generally keep a Tire thumper in my car, though that's a habit from my time as a truck driver more than anything.
this isn't a baseball bat, its a small tire thumper. for truckers to check for flat tires! normally kept next to the drivers seat for convenience.

Tire thumpers baby!!
There is no RPTT3. The RPTT1 looks like the shortened baseball bat. And the RPTT simply stands for Road Pro Tire Thumper. I promise it's not just a bit. My terminal had around 70 drivers, and between the hours of 3 AM to 10 AM and 3 PM to 10 PM, you could hear the "thump^ping thump^ping thump^ping" during pre and post trips a mile away.
That's called a tire thumper and truckers will often carry them in their semis to hit their tires with to see if they're at the right pressure.
But really, it's just a legal way to carry a club.
They sell these at most of the trucks stops I've visited.
"Tire Thumper" is a go-to as well.
Here's a short explanation. My understanding is that it had to do with checking to be sure the tires weren't cheap and thin.
Some truckers still use something like this to get a quick read on whether or not a tire is exceptionally low. It's a bit of a different perspective, but physically hitting a tire is still a thing.

You can always get a tire thumper and just say that you are overly compulsive about checking your tire pressure. They work a lot better for self-defense in confined spaces, as well.
Damn not even a tire thumper?
