A protected tie down strap encapsulates an adjustable tie down strap within a strap housing and includes a fixed tie down strap. An adjustment knob allows a user to turn the knob and take up slack in the adjustable tie down strap. The protected tie down strap utilizes a number of internal components including force plates, a power disc, washers, screw, shaft, etc. Together, they complete the complex task of tightening the tie down strap by powerfully wrapping it around the shaft in response to a user turning the adjustment knob. When the user wishes to release the tension on the tie down strap, he or she simply turns the adjustment knob the other direction (in other embodiments, he or she raises the adjustment knob up to release the strap and untie the load.)
