A what is it for the new year.

The body has a couple of pins you can see in slots because there is a spring behind them – hence the thread on the nose moves back a little against the spring, and does not turn. The nose piece has a thread to screw on the main body and a plain bore , about 5/16ths, at the end. Whatever fits in it likely fits that bore and locates in the slot in the thread.
It seems likely there should be various sizes of screw on adaptor.

It looks home-made to me, too. More than 30 years ago, in UK, I put a central heating system into my house. IIRC, it used radiator valves whose spindles had a flat end, like a thick screwdriver blade. The plastic knob pushed onto the flat. Sometimes, with a too-stiff spindle, the knob fell to bits. IIRC again, the balancing valves were the same, but had a cap, rather than a knob. When balancing the system, I used either a spare knob or a small adjustable wrench (with trepidation) to turn the spindles. This gizmo would be a better way, if there were enough room to swing the T-handle. I suggest it’s for a similar type of application.
