A tool for manually manipulating air craft pallets on roller decking, the tool comprising:

• a handle configured to be gripped manually by an air cargo operator;
• an shaft extending from the handle;
• and
• an anchor assembly coupled to the shaft opposite the handle, the anchor assembly configured for selective anchoring to a seat track of the air pallet, the anchor assembly including at least one lock that is movable between an unlocked position and a locked position, wherein,
• in the unlocked position, the at least one locking member is configured to advance into a slot of the seat track, and
• in the locked position, the at least one lock is configured to mechanically interfere with at least a portion of the seat track in a manner retaining the at least one lock in the slot, thereby anchoring the anchor assembly to the seat track so that the air cargo operator can manually manipulate the air pallet with the tool across the roller decking.
