In preparation for making a crate I was removing hardware from some scrap lumber, Staples and screws weren't a problem, but the crinkly things at the end of some mitered pieces were really tough. In the past I was able to wiggled some free, but there had to be a better way.
The first thing was to find out what they were called. Some stumbling around on the web revealed that the thing is a corrugated fastener. The comments to "Corrugated Fasteners Everything There Is to know" [sic] (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EXpP9FkG_LA) yielded this gem of an exchange:
Fred C Dobbs (4 years ago): Would you know how to remove a corrugated fastener?
Stapling & Nailing Supplies Ltd (4 years ago): Hi Fred it's not a question we've been asked before and unfortunately do not have an answer for you.
Fred C Dobbs (4 years ago): Yes, my marriage proposal was sort of like a corrugated fastener, it was a quick way to get into a inextricable situation.
