Example embodiments of a wormgear securement and release device are described herein to include a device with a center shaft to hold a webbing/strap and an integrated wormgear to regulate the speed of the turning of the center shaft, thereby regulating the speed at which the webbing/strap releases the object that is strapped in. Optimally, a person would be able to use a length of conventional webbing to secure an item/object in a desired or required position.
