A dual-setting rotating system selectively provides unidirectional rotation to a drive shaft. Along with the drive shaft, the system includes a primary ratchet gear fixedly disposed on the drive shaft and configured to motivate the drive shaft in principal rotation. A secondary ratchet gear is coaxial with the primary ratchet gear and rotatably attached about at least a portion of the drive shaft. A pinion gear is axially-aligned with the drive shaft and operably engaged with the secondary ratchet gear and a shaft gear to motivate the drive shaft during retrograde rotation. The shaft gear is rigidly attached to and coaxial with the drive shaft. A clutch plate spans the primary and secondary ratchet gear while a main body encloses at least a portion of the clutch plate.
