ABSTRACT:
A fixing element comprising a fixing section and a tubular stamped or riveted section in which the stamped or riveted section enable the fixing element to be placed on a metal part and the fixing section enables an object to be placed on the metal part. A bearing surface on a transition region between the fixing section and the stamped or riveted section extends in a radial or conical manner and optionally has torsional fixing features. The tubular stamped or riveted section free front end has a conical cutting surface which is divergent on the radially inner side in the direction of the free front end area and a rounded impact and traction surface on the radially outer side. The cutting, impact and traction surfaces meet at an annular edge on the free front end of the stamped or riveted section and are shaped to prevent shavings from occurring.
