ABSTRACT:
A screw comprising, in succession between a first end and a second end thereof: a first polygonal head; a breakable neck; a second polygonal head; and a threaded shank; the diameter of the breakable neck being smaller than the diameters of the heads and of the shank, the screw further comprising a cylindrical bearing surface portion situated between the breakable neck and the second head, and having a diameter not less than that of the breakable neck, but less than that of the second head. A tool for tightening such a screw comprises a tightening endpiece including resilient means that project radially into the inside of the tube while they are in the free state, and that are capable of retracting to allow the first head of the screw to be inserted as far as the engagement portion of the tube and to co-operate with the cylindrical bearing surface portion of the screw when the first head thereof is in said engagement portion. The endpiece also includes a storage chamber suitable for containing at least one severed first head, and means for opening and closing said chamber.
