Claim 0:
1. A device for winding cargo ties comprising:
a generally hollow housing;
a handled rotary torque input shaft, a first end of which projects from the housing;
a holding body rotatably positioned on the housing said holding body adapted to selectively receive a cargo tie;
a rotary torque output shaft coupled to the input shaft and the holding body such that the application of force to the input shaft handle causes the output shaft to rotate the holding body;
a first opening defined by a side of the housing;
a moveable clamp arm having a generally L-shaped profile, wherein:
a first end of the clamp arm protrudes from the first opening and a second end of the clamp arm is disposed within the housing;
the moveable clamp arm comprises a left side and a right side that are mirror images of each other; and
the claim arm further comprises:
a first clamp arm support member extending between the left and right sides of the clamp arm at the first end of the clamp arm; and
a second clamp arm support member extending between the left and right sides of the clamp arm at the second end of the clamp arm wherein the second clamp arm support member defines the second opening;

a rotatable threaded rod disposed at least partially within the housing, part of the threaded rod being received by a second opening that is defined by the second end of the clamp arm wherein rotation of the threaded rod causes movement of the clamp arm altering the size of a gap existing between the first end of the clamp arm and the side of the housing from which the first end of the clamp arm protrudes.
