A ratchet device includes a ratchet wheel. The ratchet device further includes a first lever, the first lever rotatably interconnected with the ratchet wheel. The ratchet device further includes a second lever, the second lever rotatably interconnected with the ratchet wheel. The ratchet device further includes a first pivoting bracket, the first pivoting bracket pivotally interconnected with the first lever. The ratchet device further includes a second pivoting bracket, the second pivoting bracket pivotally interconnected with the second lever. The first pivoting bracket has a first position where the first pivoting bracket is rotated to engage the ratchet wheel and a second position where the first pivoting bracket is rotated to disengage from the ratchet wheel.

A ratchet strap apparatus includes a tensioning strap adapted to be selectively tensioned and a cargo strap adapted to be secured to the apparatus using an inboard pin and an outboard pin and bending the cargo strap into a loop. In one embodiment, the outboard pin is secured to a side wall and an opening is provided between the outboard pin and another side wall whereby the outboard pin may be inserted into a cargo strap loop. In another embodiment, the outboard pin is slidingly received through a hole in one side wall and is selectively unseated from a saddle on the other side wall for insertion into the cargo strap loop. In yet another embodiment, the outboard pin is secured between two side walls and the inboard pin is selectively removable from and seated on saddles in each of the walls whereby the inboard pin extends therebetween.

A strap tensioning buckle apparatus provides a ratchetless strap tensioning buckle apparatus for tensioning straps utilized in tying down objects. The ratchetless strap tensioning buckle apparatus has a base having a first end and a second end, a linkage pivotally attached to the base at a midpoint thereof, a handle having a first end and a second end, the handle having a shaft at the first end thereof for holding a loop of strap, the shaft further rigidly connecting the handle to the linkage, the handle pivoting via the linkage and moving the shaft in an arc from a first position to a second position, wherein moving the shaft from the first position to the second position tightens the strap and locks the strap in place.

A tensioner with retractable handle is provided, including a sheet metal base and a sheet metal handle. The sheet metal base is provided with a centre shaft in the middle thereon, the sheet metal handle includes a tightening part and a handle. A bottom of the tightening part is rotatably connected to the middle of the sheet metal base, an inner side of the tightening part is slidably connected with an upper baffle, and a bottom of the upper baffle is connected with two lower tongue parts. A rear end of the sheet metal base is provided with a lower baffle and a lower connecting plate, and the lower connecting plate is interlocked with the lower baffle. An inner side of a front of the sheet metal base is connected with a spring retaining plate, which is used to stop the gear from reversing and prevent the webbing from retracting.
