Help IDing this tool please

What is this tool used for?

The handle threads off the 'grip', grip is spring loaded, tension on spring can be adjusted some by turning the handle.

Found it in a 'collection' I have, but have no clue what it's used for. I mean gripping and turning something, but what?

 

It’s for a hammer drill

 

It attaches to the top of drill to give you extra leverage to prevent kick back. Like if you are drilling a large hole etc.

 

I have one like the pictured, this wouldn't be that secured.

 

Is it brand specific? Or generic?

Pic of one installed would help a lot.

 

Got it!

I found it under a search for Rigid drill driver side handle.

@captain.cardinal1 @manncura thanks for getting me going in the right direction!!

 

Yep. Milwaukee uses the same style as well. Not sure if they're interchangeable though.

 

Looks exactly like the Milwaukee one my brother has.

 

Side handle for a drill or hammer drill or impact driver.

Yes, it will be brand specific.

Most likely Ridgid or Ryobi. These brands share similar housing features. Although, Milwaukee is made by the same parent umbrella company, it will have different housing features.
