A connector comprising first and second jaws 12, 14, each jaw is adapted to close around an item or unit. The jaws are connected to each other via a bar 16 and at least one jaws is rotatable with respect to said bar. A twist lock 18 feature is provided which when used locks the jaw in position. The jaws may be adapted to rotate at least 180 degrees or 360 degrees. The jaws may be sprung by a resilient means which may be an O-ring. A lock means may be provided for locking the jaws, where rotating in a first direction locks the jaws and when rotated in a second direction unlocks the jaws. An outer portion of the lock means may be in the form of a pair of scallops, wherein said scallops comprise helical pathways formed on the inner surface for guiding a pin. The connector may comprise a modular arrangement where the parts interconnect with each other in a push fit manner. The connector may also comprise an aperture for receiving a flexible cord. Additionally, the jaws may have resiliently deformable pads located on their inner surface to grip the item or unit.
