A ratcheting tie-down device includes a main body portion having first and second ends, and a rotatable reel located about the second end. A dynamic webbing is extendable from the first end of the main body portion and is windable about the reel. A static webbing is coupled to the main body portion about the second end. The device includes means for attaching at least one end of the dynamic webbing to an object, and means for ratcheting rotation of the reel to wind the dynamic webbing thereon. A lever arm is rotatable relative to the main body portion between a first position and a second position to cause ratcheting rotation of the ratchet wheel. In one example, the lever arm includes at least a pair of independent lever arm rails. In another example, the dynamic webbing travels underneath a guide member prior to being wound about the reel.
