LEED CREDITS
What is LEED?
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 non-renewable energy resources; decrease dependence on foreign
oil; and lower greenhouse gas emissions.
RECYCLING
Ramset Recycles
Ramset has always recognized the value of utilizing recycled materials
where available.
The raw material sourced for the manufacture of Ramset pins contains approximately 10-20% mill
scrap when it is converted to wire material. The plastic and casing material in our loads typically
consists of 10% recycled material.
Our packaging also contains post-consumer recycled material. The paper board (inner cartons)
containers are typically made from 40% recycled material; corrugated cartons typically contain 30-
35% recycled material.

FEATURES
Still the most revolutionary fastening system in the construction industry!
Since its introduction in 1991, TrakFast has been the tool of choice for both interior and exterior contractors. The TrakFast
Automatic Fastening System fastens all types of track, from standard track to hat channel, deep leg, Z, and J channel.
Contractors continue to report tremendous savings when using TrakFast for high production fastening. They have learned
that TrakFast’s actual cost in place beats all other systems. The increased speed and productivity of TrakFast allows the
contractor to bid more competitively, complete the job sooner and move on to the next job. Anyone can use TrakFast—
just load the pins and fire. It’s that easy!
