The present invention relates generally to improvements in plastic fasteners and more particularly to the provision of novel and extremely practical one-piece plastic grommet type anchor members for accommodating the threaded shank of a screw member when positioned within a work aperture. The anchor member disclosed herein includes a head section for clampingly engaging one side of an apertured workpiece, and a shank section comprising an elongate hollow portion for accommodating a screw shank, and diametrically disposed outwardly flaring shank arms integrally connected with the entering extremity of hollow portion and having free work engaging extremities. The shank arms and the wall defining the hollow portion are laterally expandable in response to forces applied axially thereof.
