What is this gadget called?

Good morning.
It is some kind of screw lightener

Can you give a bit more context? Maybe a broader pic showing more? Where it's found. What it's used for. etc. etc.

Also, a bit more zoomed out pic please

Thank you, that looks right. Only this one I want does not go onto the ratchet, but is more like a small handheld standalone gadget.

i assume “screw” was supposed to be “bolt”
And then “lightener” was actually supposed to be “tightener”.
