Unique, perhaps, but I don't think I'd call a tool with a ratchet "primitive".
Looks like a ratchet wrench with an extra handle to keep from stripping the nut, perhaps a lug nut?
I believe it is a tool use to make adjustment You place the tool on the nut with the vertical handle and made the adjustment with the ratchet handle.
I have seen it before but can remember what the machine was it was used on .
I'd like to seen the end of the tool it's sitting on. It might be a drill rather than a wrench.
I think you've got it ..

Looks like a ratchet brace of some sort - likely for use with an auger bit.
I wondered if it was a specialty item - but Sonny's link doesn't seem to suggest that :
