Looks like a pump dispenser for some kind of liquid (soap, lotion, lime jello?). The threads are so that you can lock the pump down, making it safe(ish) to throw in a travel bag or whatever.

Correct,twerppoet.It's a hand lotion pump dispenser.

Darn! I was hoping for the lime jello.

What is this used for?

A bit more.

It's a drill bit used for making holes in ceramic or glazed tiles.

Close, but not as delicate as that. I'm pretty sure ceramic and tile bits are sharper than these.

Of course! It's a masonry drill bit. The tip is very similar to a tile drill bit.

When you posted the 2nd view, I had second thoughts about the shouldered shank..... Chose wrong
