Comment: "I think "construction staple" is also correct, but perhaps only because it is more general. Thanks everyone!"

construction staple
Not sure of this, but the one image I found of a 'spreidniet' looks like a normal construction-grade staple.

spread rivet/expansion rivet
B In het luchtrooster aan elke kant elk 2 spreidnieten verwijderen.
B Remove two spreading rivets in vent grilles on each
side.
US Patent 2002: 6,371,708 B1
The expansion rivet consists of an expansion peg and a drive-in pin, which in the preassembled state of the expansion rivet are captively joined together. In its midsection, the expansion peg has an insertion hole adapted to the form of the drive-in pin, two lateral engagement wings projecting in opposite directions and two opposing spreader legs projecting downward at right angles. The preassembled drive-in pin protrudes slightly out of the expansion peg but is in engagement with the two spreader legs. When the drive-in pin is driven into the expansion peg, the spreader legs are forced apart by the drive-in pin to form a riveted connection.
Otherwise known as:
plastic plug-rivet

Maybe this helps to find a correct translation (or confirm Ollie's suggestion):
http://www.tackershop.nl/?page=14768555
Bij nieten en krammen zijn de punten meestal beitelpunten, maar als er een extra grote hechtkracht nodig is, kunnen nieten of krammen met uiteenlopende punten (zg. spreidnieten) een uitkomst bieden. Bij dit type zijn de punten speciaal gesneden zodat ze de nietpoten met een boog in plaats van recht het materiaal in laten lopen.
