Some kind of old Ratchet?

I came across this in my Dads old tool pile. Nothing else appears to go with it. The square hole measures 0.6”. It does ratchet. No brand or model number on it. Is it missing the removable anvil or do the sockets fit directly into the square hole? Or is it meant for something else? If anyone has one like it with all the attachments I would like to see a picture so I know what to keep an eye out for the next time I’m going through his old stuff. ANY info would be appreciated.
Thanks!

Here!
Does it reverse, or only ratchet in one direction? I have an old ratchet where to reverse it, you push the square pokie end (anvil?) through and it comes out the other side. Maybe it's like that, but missing the moving part.

It’s a pipe threader. Here is a picture of one I picked up last week from an estate sale. It’s the one on the right. Mine has the cutters in it and it ratchets as you describe.

Pull the little knob out and turn it 180 degrees to go forward or reverse.

I think it's a pipe reamer. Most of the pipe ratchet threaders have dies with a built in ratchet gear.

The thing that confuses me is that it has a square hole not a bigger round one to put the die in.
