A tri-lobed lug has a centrally disposed aperture which allows the lug to rotate 360° about its axis. Each lobe of the lug can be used to secure an attachment means to it. This could be a rope, strap or other similar structure. Each lobe can also be used to loop such rope, strap, bungee cord hook or other structure through an aperture defined in the lobe. When such structure is secured to the lug, the lug can align itself in a direction of maximum strength. The lug portions further comprise rounded surfaces to prevent cutting or serration of the rope, strap or other similar structure. The tri-lobed lug is also used in an assembly comprising a bolt-like element, a bushing and a nut to attach the lug to a surface. The assembly may further comprise washer-like elements to prevent damage to the surface.
