A boot clamp having open ends for lapping an lapping end over a lapped end in a lapping direction. The boot clamp includes an ear for tightening the clamping band about an object to be fastened, and a mechanical interlock for interlocking the lapping end to the lapped end. The interlock has a several inwardly extending spaced hooks having a blunted end on the lapping end and a series of spaced apertures having tabs on the lapped end. The hooks extend in a direction opposite the lapping direction and the tabs extend in the lapping direction. Deformation of the ear causes the hooks to underlap the tab to interlock the lapping end to the lapped end. The clamping band has a retainer mechanism to control and retain the lapped end under the lapping portion of the clamping band.
