Is this likely to be referring to the "handle" of some type of tool or something else in this context?

"DAÑOS A UN AUTO BORA GRIS DE UN 3RO AL GOLPEARLO CON UN **MANERAL** AL REALIZAR MANIOBRAS DE TRABAJO."

Thanks in advance.

(T-handle) wrench

There are various kinds of tools referred to as "manerales" in Mexico. I've seen it applied to paint rollers. It can also mean a blowtorch. But it usually means a wrench, and specifically what is called a T-handle wrench, which has a crossbar to apply torque: the kind of thing you might use for the wheelnuts on your car. This is the likeliest type of "maneral" to have produced the damage referred to in this claim, I would say.

Here are some images of "manerales" from Mexican websites:

And here is a T-handle wrench:

A variant of this has come up before:

Most of the "manerales" I can see are this specific kind, but the word is sometimes applied to other kinds, so you could just call it a wrench.

tool

"Maneral" usually means "lever/handle/knob" etc., anything that can be handled manually, so I think this fits the context.
