one of my favorites is the "well nut"

it is like a riv-nut but it is rubber - with a metal nut molded in it
all it takes is a hole to make it work - and because it is only rubber it is completely removable
middle of the road load wise - better than velcro but not as good as a real fastner
if sized and installed right - they could easily carry 50-100 lbs
and they are water tight (I have used them mainly in sail boat decks)

fyi - if they are not installed as an interference fit they will fall out when not tightened down
