That keeps all the info here and the question relevant and useful when, after a year or two, you delete them from your google drive because you need the space.. | |

| Mar 21 at 22:34 | comment | added | gnicko | @MartinDrozdik Yeah. From the angle of the teeth on the ratchet and the angle of the handle, it looks almost like you're supposed to pull the "ratchet stick" to release the pressure.... from whichever side of this thing is the business end. | |
| Mar 19 at 11:51 | comment | added | Martin Drozdik | @gnicko In the position you describe: "...'runners' are along the ground and the flat board angled across the top?" there would have to be something pushing the angled board upwards. Perhaps some compressible cargo jammed into the triangular opening between them. | |
| Mar 18 at 20:23 | comment | added | gnicko | You say "...although when the object is oriented the way it is in the photo, the ratchet gear rack is pulled down and away from the pawl..." Is the orientation where the pawl makes sense such that the "runners" are along the ground and the flat board angled across the top? | |

| Mar 14 at 8:37 | comment | added | Graphus | I got nothing, except a complete guess that it's for bending something. Did you try a reverse image search/Google Lens? | |
