You twist the handle clockwise-counter clockwise and the socket keeps going in the same direction. You change the direction of the socket the same way you change the direction on any rachet. Once the nut or bolt gets tight, you pull the handle a click at a time the usual way if need be to tighten securely. It might turn out to have limited usage but anything is worth trying that might save running down a nut or bolt a click at a time in a tight place.
My Sidewinder seemed really cool when I got it, but I don't recall actually using it. The ratchet on the twist motion is a feature that Stanley has and Sidewinder does not. I think the Sidewinder was about $20, and I bought it in the 1990s.
