The concept of using metal deck anchors can be traced back to the early 20th century when the first patents for deck anchors were filed. These early anchors were primarily made of cast iron and were designed to provide a strong bond between the deck and the underlying concrete. However, cast iron anchors had several limitations, including poor corrosion resistance and limited load-bearing capacity.

The self-drilling feature of these screws eliminates the need for a pre-drilled hole, saving both time and effort. They have a sharp point and specialized threads that cut into the material as they are screwed in, reducing the risk of material distortion and increasing overall efficiency. The unique design of the screw's tip, often resembling a drill bit, allows it to pierce through metal effortlessly, making it particularly useful in industrial and construction settings.
