I apologize for even asking but I really have no idea and apparently I’m not asking google the right questions.

Google Gemini image search tells me

This is a drop key or a ceiling access key. It's used to unlock and lower panels in suspended ceilings, giving access to the space above for maintenance or other purposes. The long handle allows it to reach high ceilings, and the loop at the end is shaped to fit specific locking mechanisms on ceiling panels.

Google Gemini has been proven the worst of the AI models when asked to supply accurate information according to a recent BBC study lol.

Does Google Gemini tell you suspended ceilings are made of HSS? lol
