It looks like a thingamajig or maybe a whatchmacallit.

It looks like the expanding arbors that we use when porting shotgun barrels. The end with the slits goes into the barrel and a tapered nut is drawn to expand it.
Your thingy is much heavier, so I have no idea what it is.
 
It is a tool of some sort 3/8 is stamped on it. At first I when I saw it I thought it was a .357 Magnum spent shell until I looked (and before touching it) at it.
 
Concrete anchor/fastener?
 
better pic of the the non threaded part.

The cuts only go halfway down the sides, and there is some non metallic material in the middle.
 
X2-Concrete anchor. Drill a hole just big enough to fit it into and use whatever size bolt goes with it. It pulls up and expands to jam tight the anchor in the hole.
 
I have ZERO affiliation with this company just thought it was cool.

I agree, I have a tool that you put a shotgun shell without pellets and one of those in it. Then you hit the back with a hammer and the shotgun shell goes off and shoots that into the concrete.

3/8th drop in, I have installed literally thousands of those . It is one of the primary fasteners that plumbers use to hang pipe. A first year apprentice is either hand digging ditches or installing those things. If you get by that they will teach you stuff
