Fastening element

It is a fastening element (1) for hard surfaces, in particular for concrete or the like, proposed, which has a substantially cylindrical body (2), on whose peripheral surface at least one helically rotating cutting edge (7) is provided. The cutting edge (7) extends from a setting direction side (S) front end portion (3) of the body (2) in the direction of the rear end (4). An engagement means (8) for a setting tool is used during the setting process for the transmission of torque. The engagement means (8) is arranged substantially at the same axial height of the body (2) as an outlet (71) of the cutting edge (7) at the front end portion (3) of the body (2).
