There's no maker's name on it. I can't think what else it might be but a tap wrench. It has a square-opening, two-jaw collet chuck on it. Here's a view of the chuck opened up.
And here it is fully closed. (By the way, the chuck's collar thread is left-handed.)
It closes down to about a 5/32" square.
Here it is holding a 1/4"-20 tap.
For light work like thread chasing, I've long preferred a straight handle to a T-handle -- a T-handle is needlessly clumsy when not much torque is needed.
I'll stash this in the drawer where I keep all my thread-cutting gear
