Claim:
1. A metal steel stud anchor for use with a steel stud comprising a head, a shaft and a pointed tip: wherein the shaft is conically shaped and extends from the head to the pointed tip, with the shaft having a top grooved zone adjacent to the head and a threaded portion adjacent to the grooved zone and extending to the pointed tip, said threaded portion having an auger zone proximal to the pointed tip having threads for stretching a hole in the steel stud and pushing debris out of the way as the anchor is inserted through the steel stud and a wedge zone proximal to the auger zone for further enlarging the hole in the steel stud, said wedge zone having threads for forming an increasing rim around the hole in the steel stud formed by the folding of the steel stud material to wedge the anchor in the steel stud and prevent the steel stud from jumping over threads of the threaded portion so it does not strip the steel stud anchor, wherein the shaft diameter has a non-linear progression along the length of the shaft, and wherein the threads extend in a non-linear pitch around the length of the shaft in a linear progression and wherein the head has a central void, wherein the central void extends into the shaft.
