The purpose of Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) is to construct buildings in an energy efficient manner and reduce the buildings' energy consumption. As a result, these buildings can help conserve nonrenewable energy resources; decrease dependence on foreign oil; and lower greenhouse gas emissions. MR 5.1 was developed with the intent to increase demand for building materials and products that are extracted and manufactured within the region, thereby supporting the use of indigenous resources and reducing the environmental impact resulting from transportation.

The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 requires that all construction materials for federal, state and local stimulus projects must be manufactured in the United States. Unlike our competitors you know you are buying American made products and supporting the American economy and workers when you buy Ramset. Ramset's parent company, Illinois Tool Works (NYSE: ITW) employees more than 25,000 Americans.

High quality fasteners provide consistent and reliable performance in concrete, block, masonry, and steel applications. Choosing the correct fastener for the job will assure professional results. B. Fastener must be long enough to drive approximately 1 into concrete, cement block or penetrate thickness of steel. As the fastener enters the concrete, extreme pressures and heat are created. This creates a bond that provides high loading strength in concrete snugly and provides tool protection. Threaded studs are used where the object fastened is to be removed or where shimming is required.

ITW saw a challenge: how to create a portable tool that delivered the power of pneumatic tools without the hoses and compressors. In 1991, ITW Paslode conquered the challenge with the revolution of gaspowered technology. The cordless Impulse Finish Nailer delivered the power of pneumatic tools without cluttering job sites. With the thought of Driving Jobsite Speed while creating a safer work environment, ITW Ramset built upon the Paslode technology and in 1992 introduced the TrakFast to the drywall trade.
