Abstract: A finger-operated leverage tool has first and second lever elements with opposite ends and upper and lower elongated surfaces. A connection joins one end of each of the lever elements and holds the lever elements in a movable angular position with respect to each other. Elongated frictional surface strips of a material different than the material of the lever elements are secured to the upper surface of the first lever element and to the lower surface of the second lever element to prevent slippage of the fingers of a person operating the tool.

Abstract: A self-uprighting tow sled designed to upright itself after spills. This sled generally comprises a unitary pre-formed hull having certain geometric configuration characteristics. This sled is pulled by a tow means positioned in the front thereof and below the center of gravity of the sled. As a result of the cooperative relationship between the sled, its particular geometric configuration, and the towing forces being below the center of gravity, the sled can be overturned during pulling and it will automatically upright itself.
