'big truck' strap tool

I'm sure there's a proper name (probably a 'nickname' too?) for this tool, I just don't remember offhand what that is beyond maybe "tensioner". (and that sounds too easy?) I *do* know it is a prybar tool of sorts, used by truck drivers to secure (and presumably release) the ratchet strap 'hold-downs' used to keep the load in place on large semi-truck trailers.

It is solid chromed steel thus heavy, about 32" long probably, one end is a smaller kinda bent conical shape and the other has a roughly wedge shaped welded fitting for something that has a number stamped into it. The main shaft is knurled at both ends and has a crook bend of its own at the 'wedge end'.

It was quite literally 'picked up' from the street at a busy local intersection I use often. I noticed it laying there on the ground one morning, and that it didn't really look like just a random chunk of scrap metal. By the next morning it had found itself neatly leaning up against a traffic signal pole at the same intersection (I don't know who did that??) and then by later in that day, it became simply a matter of an extra turnaround or two to get myself waiting for the red light right there beside it -- jumped out for a sec to grab it and toss into the back, then the light turned green again and off we went. :-)

I looked online at the time and found many examples similar, there's no doubt it is a pretty common thing in the trucking industry. I don't know what I'll ever *do* with it, but I've *got* it now...?? <lol>
