The new GX3 gas-actuated fastening tool from tools and fastening systems manufacturer Hilti is the only tool of its kind not requiring an external battery to operate, according to the company.
Instead, users simply need to load the tool with gas and pins before starting work.
Replaces GX 120 Model
Replacing the Hilti GX 120, the GX 3 boasts several upgrades, including better performance in cold weather, smoother piston operation, increased pins per gas charge, and an improved nail transport mechanism to significantly reduce nail jams.
The curved magazine of the GX 3 provides greater accessibility and can hold up to 40 nails between 0.5 in (1.3 cm) and 1.5 in (3.8 cm). The tool’s power adjustment provides control of the nail embedment depth, and it also allows for simple nail jam removal.
Meanwhile, an easy-to-read gas gauge lets users know exactly how much gas they have left.
Additional System Benefits
Operators can stay productive longer because the GX 3 does not use an external battery, require general maintenance, or need cleaning, according to the company.
Overall, the GX 3 can fasten up to 900 nails on a single gas can. It makes fast work of attaching track to steel or concrete, wire mesh for lath or plaster, and waterproofing. The tool is also efficient at fastening Hilti’s full portfolio of electrical fixtures and elements.
The tool is covered by Hilti’s comprehensive 20/2/1 service warranty, which includes 20 years of repair or replacement on defective parts; two years of repair at no costs, including wear and tear; and a guaranteed turnaround time of one day at repair centers.
