Breakaway w-base fastener

A w-base fastener comprising:

• a fastener body defining a first end and a second end,
• a head formed with the first end of the fastener body,
• a joint formed in the body between the first end and second end,
• a plurality of legs joined generally at the second end, the legs extending outwardly from the body at an angle and towards the first end, each leg terminating in a leg tab, and
• a plurality of hooks connected to the body between the joint and the first end, the hooks extending substantially perpendicular to the body and configured to engage the leg tabs and pull them inward toward the fastener body when the portion of the fastener body between the joint and the first end is moved away from the portion of the fastener body between the joint and the second end.

• a plurality of legs joined generally at the second end, the legs extending outwardly from the body at an angle and towards the first end, each leg terminating in a leg tab, wherein the leg tab defines a notch formed at an upper end of the leg tab, and
• a plurality of hooks connected to the body between the joint and the first end, the hooks extending substantially perpendicular to the body and defining hook tabs configured to engage the notch formed in the leg tabs and pull them inward toward the fastener body when the portion of the fastener body between the joint and the first end is moved away from the portion of the fastener body between the joint and the second end.
