Over a half century of leadership in powder actuated tools and fasteners
The first powder actuated tools (PATs) were used for repairing damaged ship hulls during World War I. This application continued through World War II, when the son of the original inventor, Stanley Temple, developed and implemented the technology for commercial use. In 1947, the “Tempotool” was introduced to the construction industry.

Ramset Fasteners was founded in 1948 to handle distribution and sales for the construction trades. In 1949, Ramset’s accredited Operator Program was officially launched. Today this highly successful training program has instructed over 1,000,000 trades people in the safe use of PATs.

Today, Ramset continues to bring the industry the products, service and innovation that they have come to expect from the leader in powder fastening. All geared to help contactors do their job faster, more safely and more productively.
