The invention relates to a coupling for joining rotatable shafts including a pair of mating hubs having projecting pins, which hubs are held together via a free-floating wrap around restraint. The coupling has first and second circular hubs, wherein each circular hub has and a tool for fixing a shaft within each bore. Several coupling pins extend outwardly from each hub such that the coupling pins of the hubs are facing and longitudinally aligned with each other to define mating pairs of coupling pins. The coupling has a flexible annular restraint having split ends and semi-cylindrical concavities through the restraint. The restraint is wrapped around the mating pairs of coupling pins such that the split ends align and one mating pair of coupling pins are positioned within each of the semi-cylindrical concavities. A cincture is then fastened around the outer surface of the restraint.
