While investigating and digging through old boxes in their shop, one Reddit poster stumbled upon this thing. It looks like a belt, except it’s quite short and has metal pieces on both sides.

Is that a belt?

The length of it is made with leather, and it looks quite aged. Most of us would have no clue what it is, and that’s because it’s an old strap used for carrying car batteries. The ends go over the terminals in the car and the battery can be lifted out. We doubt that this thing would still be used, but it’s a cool antique nonetheless.
