An auto mechanic would very likely use one, but probably doesn't keep it with the with the tools he or she would commonly use on automobiles.

Would this normally be found in the bathroom?

Yes, it would be found in many people's bathroom.

OK. Too much rust to be part of a shaver. But can be used handheld. Part of a shower head?

No. See the answer below. I don't know of anything in a toliet that could normally be considered a hand tool.

For the record, the Wikipedia page for this item says this item "is a hand tool used for" ....

In this case, my use of the word "could" was because, most people, would not think of this as a hand tool, even though it most certainly is one.

The flush lever, but only sort of.

Is this item more strongly associated with bathrooms than with any other location in a home?

No, not necessarily. A bathroom is a convenient place to keep and use it, but other rooms could be more convenient for some people. I personally use mine at my bed side.

Are most or all users male?

No. This version may be used more by males, but females use items that have the same purpose as this item just as much as males.

in my opinion, a male is probably more likely to use this item for other uses than it was specifically designed for than a female is likely to use it for that type of purpose.

Is electricity involved in the use of this item?
