Abstract
A fastener includes a circular shaped body having a dish-shaped interior including an inner flat plate integrally connected to and recessed with respect to an outer planar ring. Multiple connecting legs integrally connect the inner flat plate to the outer planar ring. The outer planar ring has a substantially circular perimeter. First and second deflectable wings are each integrally connected to and extend outwardly from the perimeter of the outer planar ring by first and second deflectable arms. The first and second deflectable wings directly contact opposed ones of multiple faces of a socket tool when the fastener is received in a socket cavity of the socket tool.
