Abstract
A ratchet binder having a main tube with internal threads at opposed open ends. The ratchet binder having a pair of semicircular threaded shafts threadably received in the opposed open ends such that when the shafts are connected by hooks to a chain and prevented from rotation, the rotation of the tube by a ratcheting mechanism causes the shafts to simultaneously move inward relative to the tube increasing tension on the opposed hooks to secure a load. A barrel divider is disposed between the shafts to keep the threads on the semicircular shafts engaged with the threads on the inside of the tube.
