I was given this the other day.

I not seen a Die holder like this.

Can any one give me some information on how it is used?

Looks like it's for cleaning up threads, rather than cutting new ones. Designed to be turned by hand.

That would be my guess too, looks like it would come in handy in tight spaces, maybe exhaust studs for example??

probably used with a tube with a t bar to turn it and pins on the end to engage the flats. as said probably for cleaning threads out as it wouldn't back off for cutting threads
