    id this odd ratchet wrench?

    1/2 square hole drive. The red lever releases the ratchet. Looks like the handle got cut off. Maybe this was part of a larger piece of equipment? No marks of any sort. Is there a 1/2" male to 1/2" male socket extension of any length? Then I could use it with my regular sockets.
