ABSTRACT A one-piece pliable metal grounding strap comprises a U-shaped section having a pair of leg portions inter- connected by a bight portion. One of the leg portions has an inwardly bent section extending adjacent thereof and across the bight portion, the bent section being adapted to contact on one side thereof a ground member; a hook member outwardly projects from this leg portion. A collar member is fixed to the bight portion, the collar member having a threaded bore adapted to threadably engage a screw member and being disposed to permit the screw member to frictionally engage the bent section on the other side thereof substantially perpendicularly thereto. The other leg portion is extended relative to the aforesaid one leg portion to define an elongated wrap section adapted to be bent about the ground member and over the one leg portion and the bight portion with the ground member disposed between the bent section and the wrap section; the wrap section is provided with a plurality of longitudinally spaced apart apertures adapted to receive the hook member and to register with the threaded bore for receiving the screw member. Tightening of the screw member causes same to frictionally engage with the bent section against the ground member and to move the bight portion in a direction away from the bent portion, thereby causing the hook member to pull the wrap section in the same direction and to tighten same against the ground member.
