Abstract: Fastener (80) joins together work pieces (14, 18) and has longitudinal body (82) with first work engaging member (86) mounted on it. Second work engaging member (90) is associated with longitudinal body (82) and may be integral with il, or joined to it or mounted on it. Ratchet teeth (22) and ratchet lock (92) allow for adjustment of the position of first work engaging member (86) on longitudinal body (82). Second work engaging member (90) includes leaf members (94) capable of assuming a first position of narrow cross-sectional area (as shown in the drawing), and a second position of a wide cross-sectional area under the influence of expanded part (100). Fastener (80) may be removable from work pieces (14, 18).
