No clue here.
Maybe for torque if it is a driver handle?

Believe it or not, the real answer was found!
 
Its a bottle opener for a really obscure patented bottle closure.

 I knew the regular common closures (being an old bottle collector) but this was someone's idea that either totally didn't work out, or was only regionally accepted.  I never saw the closure.

404. That’s an error.
The requested URL /patents?id=Wqx...ed=0CC8Q6AEwAw was not found on this server. That’s all we know.

ROFL! You would think Google would have enough sense to do a search on itself...

http://www.google.com/patents?id=WqxHAAAAEBAJ&printsec=frontcover&dq=597874&hl=en&ei=sNoPTvC0KqXh0QGMkOGhDg&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=4&ved=0CC8Q6AEwAw

Neat tool that the patent describes, but it doesn't appear to be the same tool as the OP posted.
