the lug being positioned in between the lobe and the plate pinhole;
the lobe and the lug of the first engagement plate being oriented opposite the lobe and the lug of the second engagement plate;
the first engagement plate and the second engagement plate being positioned in between the first protrusion and the second protrusion;
the first engagement plate and the second engagement plate being rotatably connected to the clevis;
the tool-receiving slot being integrated into the structural body, opposite the first protrusion and the second protrusion;
the clevis further comprising a first pin-receiving hole and a second pin-receiving hole;
the first protrusion and the second protrusion being positioned offset and parallel to each other;
the first protrusion and the second protrusion being extended from the structural body;
the first pin-receiving hole perpendicularly traversing through the first protrusion;
the second pin-receiving hole perpendicularly traversing through the second protrusion;
a single plate retaining pin;
the first engagement plate being positioned adjacent the first protrusion;
the first pin-receiving hole being concentric with the plate pinhole of the first engagement plate;
the plate pinhole of the first engagement plate being concentric with the plate pinhole of the second engagement plate;
the second engagement plate being positioned adjacent the second protrusion;
the plate pinhole of the second engagement plate being concentric with the second pin-receiving hole; and
the single plate retaining pin traversing through the first pin-receiving hole, the plate pinhole of the first engagement plate, the plate pinhole of the second engagement plate, and the second pin-receiving hole.

Abstract
An apparatus used for winding or unwinding winch straps includes a clevis, a first engagement plate, and a second engagement plate. Both the first engagement plate and the second engagement plate contain a lobe, a lug, an oblong body, and a plate pinhole which are rotatably connected to the clevis with a plate retaining pin which traverses through the plate pinhole. When in use, a power tool is attached to a tool-receiving slot, which is integrated into a structural body of the clevis. Next, the lobe of the first engagement plate and the second engagement plate establishes a connection with the spool hub the apparatus is being used on. Simultaneously, the lug of the first engagement plate and the second engagement plate are pressed against the spool hub. Therefore, the force is transferred from the power tool to the spool via the introduced apparatus.
