Works exactly the same way.
The line will only pass freely in one direction unless the pin is pulled.

I've sailed myself and understand the concept.
The only difference is you cant lock this one in place like a sailboat.

I have a thing about shoes. I can't even count how many pairs of boots and shoes I have. As a result, I watch a lot of shoe manufacturers and cobblers on YouTube.

It's commonly called a Klein Lineman's Wrench (not positive if that's the official name). When I was a lineman, there are 4 basic nuts that are used on the poles to secure various types of equipment, down-guys, and other hardware. This particular wrench has two sized wrench openings on each end for a total of 4 sizes of nuts. Most line belts have a special sized loop just for this wrench.

Close guess on your part. It can be used on electric poles but telephone and cable TV linemen use them as well.

to be honest if not for the klein being on it I would have taken longer to ID and then just a guess,,
the coating is a big give away,,

That's actually just thick paint which starts to wear off pretty quickly. I used some shrink tube on mine for better grip and to fend off any possible electrical shock.
