In a first embodiment, the first and second attachment ends are spade attachment ends (18). Each spade attachment end (18) includes a lock body (16), spade end (18) and a lock slot (20). In a second embodiment, the first attachment end (24) is a spade attachment end and the second attachment end is a tongue attachment end (26). The tongue attachment end (26) includes a tongue body (36), a tongue hole (30), and a tongue extension (32). To lock the tongue attachment end (26), the tongue extension (32) is inserted through a hole (30) in an item until the spade contoured portion (34) prevents further insertion. The tongue extension (32) is then inserted through the tongue hole (30). In a third preferred embodiment, the first attachment end is a tongue attachment end (40) and the second end is a strap attachment end (42). The strap attachment end (42) includes a strap body (44) with at least two slots (46) for retention of a strap. In a fourth preferred embodiment, the first attachment end is a strap (54) attachment end and the second end (52) is a spade attachment end.
