Spit
Spit was founded in 1951 in Valence, France, by the inventors of a unique system for firing hardened steel nails, now known as PAT. This marked the creation of the first powder-actuated tool for concrete and steel. Today, Spit is part of the ITW (Illinois Tool Works) group, which operates in 55 countries with around 45,000 employees. Spit is particularly well-known for its fastening technology. Spit offers a complete range of fastening solutions for concrete, plastic, wood, and steel, as well as combinations of these materials. For every fastening challenge, the brand has a solution. Additionally, Spit also produces power tools, including the popular Spit drill.
