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

Is the nub on the end solid?

Yes it appears so.

I have seen some thing like it I just can't remember where...

[bgarrett]

Isnt it a pot handle for cooking?

[scottg]

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.

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