Wow. Look at the size of this one. Just appallingly tall.
I got a bunch of these in this colour in a bulk bin, and it turned out to be a Cars set, 8639 . The City Garage has 20 in white though. That is a great set.
This part is still going strong after more than a decade, appearing in the Monkie Kid City of Lanterns set this year.
@Mr__Thrawn:
I mean, for what it’s often used for, it makes sense that it’d be tall. Less pieces makes it more stable. But it was a weird effect to scroll down from Mjolnir in the upper row, with a long, angled handle, to see this looking almost the same length but at a different angle.
Tall boi
I have these in white. (from City Garage) Tan would be great for large buildings such as a museum.
This looks like several pieces stacked together
I've always liked this piece. Sadly I don't own any. It's finally available in LBG, so should come in handy.
For when you absolutely, definitely, positively need to build a giraffe
I got my first of these with the Mario 64 Cube, but I have primarily Technic and Creator sets.

76052 has plenty of them in tan. Not necessarily the best parts pack set, maybe. Building with this part you gain height quickly for sure. Otherwise, it feels a little strange to use from what I remember building that set.
When I sold off our Cars sets, I sold only the characters from 8639 Big Bentley Bust Out and kept the tower, knowing these elements would come in handy someday. Hasn’t happened yet but I’ll be glad to have them when the time comes.
Coincidentally just added 16 of these to my store (Brick Arena) in Tan as I just parted out the Batman Classic TV Series - Batcave 76052 :)
Brought loads more to expand the range of the gantry crane in 60052. If you can collect enough also useful for building raised railway tracks and quick tall towers.
