    Quick fastener instead of bolt & nut (small)

    I think I've got a good comparison, now: those self-clipping fasteners that hold certain lapel pins in place, or some types of earrings. But they have got to hold quite firmly in place on their 1/16" diam. bolts/pins.

Purpose: the two fasteners that hold...
