I spoke to my contact at Dutton-Lainson and he informed me that reversible ratchet means that you can reverse the direction you have control of, but you will need to remove the ratchet assembly and reinstall it in the opposite direction to do so.

I was told that you could have the strap pull over the top or pull under the bottom.

For a strap you may be interested in a Hand Winch Strap with Safety Hook # DL24249.
