Zusammenfassung:A tree-type fastener includes one or more fin stabilizer bases disposed on a shaft of the fastener. When the fastener is subjected to a pull-out force, the fins may be prevented from stacking up, buckling or bending by the fin stabilizer base. The stabilizer base is configured to provide no interference with a work piece when inserted in a work piece aperture. The fastener of the invention provides a high removal force to insertion force ratio and a strong, single piece device. The fastener may also be adapted for modification of new and existing tree-type fasteners.
