A binding too comprises a fixing tool for binding 11 having ratchet pawls 7 and 9 for allowing a binding band 5 to move in an opposite direction but preventing the binding band 5 from moving in the return direction, respectively on opposed inner faces of a cylindrical binding tool body 3, and the binding band 5 which forms a loop by being inserted twice into an entrance of the fixing tool 11 from the same direction, wherein locking projections 25 are provided on both sides of the binding band 5 in proper pitches. An operating space of each of the ratchet pawls 7 and 9 are spaced out on entrance and exit sides of the fixing tool body 3. Further, bank-shaped belts 21 are provided on both sides of the band body 5.
