A device for multiplying the force applied to deflect a tensile member attached to a weight or load. The device may be used in place of a block and tackle and provides substantially greater mechanical advantage without the additional length of line needed by a block and tackle to string over the additional pulleys employed. Various embodiments employ one or two unidirectional motion members and a lever pivotably mounted to the frame for applying the deflecting force. Additional mechanical advantage is achieved by selectively locating the pivot mounting of the lever.
