An adjustable strap is provided having two loops of different lengths at each end, and a tensioning mechanism on the strap for adjusting the length and tension of the overall strap. S-hooks are placed on each of the short loops with an open but closable receiving hook positioned to hook the longer loop when the latter is routed back to the short loop. For dock and boat cleats having two legs and an opening, the long loop is adapted such that it can loop the cleat generally and then have the loop end threaded through the cleat on return to the short loop where it is hooked. A closed-biased member on the S-hook can be manipulated to allow later detachment. The short and long loops are configured to lie in parallel planes such that the strap may be used in a single loop configuration and have a flat side profile.

The clamp of claim 5, wherein said drawing means further comprises a washer bar located between said washer and said bearing surfaces, said washer bar having an inward bend so as to extend below said tensioner bar lug body. 7. The clamp of claim 6, comprising at least two pairs of said tensioner bars and a corresponding number of studs, each pair of tensioner bars surrounding one of said stud. 8. The clamp of claim 1, further comprising a slot connector connecting each said base plate and said backup plate along their respective edges to form jaws adapted to envelop said band end portions. 9. The clamp of claim 1, wherein said clamp is made of steel. 10. A fabricated steel interlocking lug pipe repair clamp comprising: a tensioner bar lug having an axially and generally tangentially disposed body and two pair of tangentially disposed, radially oriented tensioner bars, said tensioner bars having and outer portion and a lug bearing surface portion, the outer portion of which are transversely mounted at a right angle upon said body; a stud lug having an axially disposed body spaced from said tensioner bar lug body and two tangentially disposed studs, each stud having a shank portion and a threaded portion, said shank portions being transversely mounted at a right angle upon said body of the stud lug; a metal band of such length as to substantially encircle a pipe and having opposing end fold portions secured within respective said tensioner bar lug and said stud lug; a tightening nut located on each said stud threaded end; a washer located on each said stud threaded end and inboard of said tightening nut; an axially extending washer bar located on both said stud threaded ends and inboard of said washers, said washer bar having an inward bend portion which, upon tightening of said nut extends below said tensioner bar lug body; each said axially disposed lug body comprising: a planar, elongated base plate having and outer edge and an inner portion, wherein said base plate has a central lengthwise offset, the inner portion of said base plate functioning as a backup plate, thereby forming a recess between respective tensioner bars and stud shank portions for receiving said band end fold portions; a planar backup plate coextensive with said base plate; and a corresponding one of said opposing metal band end fold portion securely sandwiched between said corresponding base plates and said corresponding backup plates of said tensioner bar lug and said stud lug as by welding; said metal band fold portion being folded around an inner side of a said corresponding backing plate; whereby, upon tightening said nuts said lugs are drawn together, each said tensioner bar bearing face bears against the upper surface of each said stud lug body and each said threaded end of said stud bears against the upper surface of said tensioner bar lug body. 11. The clamp of claim 10, wherein said clamp is made of steel. 12. The clamp of claim 10, further comprising a gasket disposed around said pipe between said pipe and said clamp and a bridge plate disposed between said gasket and said lugs so as to bridge the gap between said band opposing fold end portions. 13. The clamp of claim 10, further comprising a slot connector connecting each said base plate and said backup plate along their respective outer edges to form jaws adapted to envelop said respective band end fold portions. 14. The clamp of claim 13, wherein said jaws are formed by extrusion. 15. The clamp of claim 10, wherein said offset base plate and backup plate are formed by extrusion.
