A ratcheting mechanism assembly includes a ratcheting mechanism and a rotatable grip rotatably coupled to the ratcheting mechanism. The ratcheting mechanism includes a base, a reel with ratchet gears at opposite sides of the reel and rotatably coupled to the base about a reel axis, and a ratchet handle rotatable relative to the base about the reel axis. The rotatable grip rotates about a fixed grip of the ratchet handle during a ratcheting process.

An adjustable-length stretch cord system has a connector and a stretch cord. The position of the connector along the stretch cord can be adjusted so as to adjust the effective length of the stretch cord. The connector has a primary path through which the stretch cord can slide during adjustment. A secondary path is also defined within the connector and parallel to the primary path. A cleat between the primary path and secondary path receives and compresses the cord as the cord turns about 180° in the cleat. The secondary path can have teeth that can engage and block sliding of the cord toward the cleat. The secondary path can also have grip that holds the cord.
