A one-piece sheet metal fastener (10) for joining two or more panels (14, 16) having a combined axial thickness (18) within a given range and aligned apertures (22, 24) of a given diameter (24) is provided. The fastener comprises two sidewall portions (28, 30) joined by a bight portion (32) which are aligned in the initial configuration of the fastener and which may be nonresiliently deformed by relative transverse movement of tab portions (46, 48) extending downwardly from transverse opposite sides of each sidewall portion.
