A fastener and removal tool adapted for manually securing and thereafter detaching two separate members in a preselected spatial relationship is disclosed. The fastener includes an elongate shaft, an abutment plate mounted on a first shaft end, and a collapsible head mounted on an opposing shaft end. The removal tool includes a plurality of elongate shafts positioned to be driven along the exterior surface of the fastener to apply a compression force along that shaft, thereby effecting a collapse of the shaft end sufficient to permit the retraction of the fastener from its engagement with the connected members.
