Quite simple to work out the load on something like that. Measure the radius on the gear to half way up the teeth, then divide that into the length of the lever that you pull. The resulting number is multiplied by how hard you can pull on the lever. If you can't guess that, put the bathroom scales on your workbench, rest a tube on them with the far end trapped under something a couple of metres away and heave down on the tube close to the scales. Max would be your own weight. ( unless you heave very hard and use inertia)

e.g. The radius of the gear is 30mm, the length of the handle 600mm. So your advantage is 20. If you hang your whole weight in the lever at, say 80kg, then you get 1600kg.

Leather suits with eyelets... Do you ride bikes??

Very good but quite complicated, I'd settle for its not very big
