A combo winch bar is a tool commonly used in the transportation industry for securing cargo on a flatbed trailer or other types of vehicles. It is similar to a standard winch bar, but with the addition of a square or hexagonal socket on the other end of the bar, which allows it to be used with different types of winches and winch straps.
The boxed end can also be used to assist in releasing your lever binders. Always use caution when doing this as the binders are typically under heavy tension. DO NOT use your winch bar as a cheater bar. Using a winch bar as a cheater bar for a lever binder can put excessive force on the binder and cause it to break or malfunction, which can lead to a serious accident.
The combo winch bar is used in the same way as a standard winch bar. First, attach one end of the winch strap or chain to the cargo and the other end to the trailer or vehicle. Then, insert the combo winch bar into the winch mechanism on the side of the trailer and turn it clockwise to tighten the strap or chain.
