Abstract: A tool for manipulating the reciprocable lever of a cargo strap buckle ratchet winch has an elongate shank, a C-configuration transverse handle at one end of the shank and a fulcrum plate at the other end for engagement with the strap winch lever. The plate has a planar proximal section attached to the shank and parallel with the transverse handle, and a planar distal section remote from the shank and extending at an obtuse handle with respect to the proximal section. A foot portion of the fulcrum plate extends at a right angle to the distal section, to engage a fulcrum surface.

Abstract: Cargo lock blocks are slidably mounted on a cargo restraining bar and have two oppositely directed cargo engaging surfaces, one arcuate and the other with two surface portions at right angles, for selective engagement with a complimentary cargo surface. The lock blocks can be used with cargo of different configurations.

Abstract: A hand held strap winder has an oval, planar base with a hand grip, a hub on which the strap is wound and a strap guide aligned on the major axis of the oval base.
