A harnessing device formed by a locking head and an attached webbed strap. The head contains oppositely positioned locking tangs in a guide channel that receives the strap after encirclement of items to be harnessed. The tangs engage abutments of the webbed strap for adjustable retention of the harnessed items. The strap is advantageously molded of a stretch reorientable material. Stretching produces a relatively thin and strengthened web which resists penetration by the locking tangs and reduces the possibility of failure by fracture or reverse rotation. The inclusion of the relatively thin web also promotes homogeniety during molding and avoids imperfections that can cause failure in other types of straps.

A harnessing device comprising a head having an elongated guide channel extending therethrough, a pair of deflectable locking tangs within said head, and a strap formed by a ladder structure with rungs which are sequentially engaged by the locking tang when the strap is inserted into the channel, said ladder structure having a webbed portion substantially constant thickness extending from each rung to reduce the force for insertion of said strap into said channel and to limit the effect of reverse thrust applied to said strap in causing reverse rotation of said locking tang.
