As you might guess - it runs all the wheel lug nuts down at the same time. In a truck plant, building multiple series, you'd have to have several of those hanging lineside: one for 1/2 ton 2wd (ie, 5 lug), 1/2 ton 4wd (6 lug) and then 3/4 ton and 1 ton (8 lug) [plus backups in case the primary tool goes down]. They were suspended on a tool rail from a "balancer" which offsets the weight of the device. If it was set up correctly you could move it up and down with just one finger. K
