A strapping system having a toothed strap and connector for engaging same. The strap is a tensible, resiliently flexible length of material with transverse teeth spaced along least end portions of the strap. The connector comprises a body having at opposite ends a pair of openings each configured for receiving a strap end portion. The body is configured for enclosing at the opposite ends at least a portion of a respective strap end including several teeth. The body defines within it a pair of resilient tooth engagement members for engaging at least one tooth of the respective strap end. The engagement members are each adapted for slidable one-way ratcheting movement relative to the teeth upon a strap end portion being received in a corresponding body end opening, thereby securely maintaining the strap ending in the end opening with the strap in tensile condition relative to the connector.
