The a pin shaft: extends from the pin head in a first direction, is coupled to the pin head in the first direction, is free to rotate about a longitudinal axis of the pin shaft with respect to the pin head, and is releasably securable at an end of the pin shaft distal to the pin head by the pin shaft securement mechanism. Transfer of pin head rotation to the pin shaft is prevented at least when the shaft is secured by the securement mechanism.
