Hilti GX 3 Gas-Actuated Fastening Tool: Speed, Freedom & Precision for Direct Fastening
The Hilti GX 3 is a high-performance, gas-actuated fastening tool engineered for rapid, reliable, and dust-free direct fastening into concrete, masonry, and steel. Offering the convenience of cordless operation and the power of gas combustion, the GX 3 is an indispensable tool for interior finishing contractors, electricians, drywallers, and other professionals who demand high productivity and consistent fastening quality on various job sites.
Features
- Cordless & Gas-Powered Freedom: Operates on a combination of a small gas can (Hilti GC 41) and a long-life battery. This provides complete independence from power outlets and compressors, offering unparalleled mobility and flexibility on busy construction sites. The gas can typically allows for up to 750 fastenings, and the battery provides thousands of shots per charge.
- High Fastening Rate: Designed for speed, the GX 3 can achieve a high fastening rate, allowing for rapid installation of multiple fastening points. This significantly boosts productivity compared to traditional drilling and anchoring methods.
- Minimal Dust & Low Noise: As a direct fastening system, the GX 3 produces virtually no dust or concrete debris, creating a cleaner and safer working environment. It also operates at a significantly lower noise level compared to powder-actuated tools or drilling.
- Wide Range of Fasteners: Compatible with Hilti's broad range of collated X-G and X-P series nails/fasteners (typically 14mm to 39mm) designed for various base materials and applications. This includes specialized fasteners for drywall tracks, cables, conduits, insulation, and more.
- Reliable & Consistent Fastening: Engineered for consistent fastening quality, even into hard concrete. The tool's design ensures optimal embedment depths for secure and reliable connections.
- No Recharging Downtime (Hot Swappable): Unlike battery-only tools, the GX 3 can typically be used continuously. When a gas can runs out, it can be quickly replaced, minimizing downtime. The battery provides a long runtime, and spare batteries are easily swapped.
- Slim, Ergonomic Design: Features a compact and well-balanced design with an ergonomic grip, enhancing user comfort and allowing for easy access in tight spaces or when working overhead.
- Power Output Adjustment (Optional/Fixed): Depending on the specific model variant, the GX 3 may have a power output adjustment to fine-tune fastening force for different base materials, ensuring optimal embedment without over-penetration.
- Magazine Capacity: Equipped with a standard magazine capacity (e.g., 20 or 40 fasteners, depending on the strip type), allowing for extended periods of work between reloads.
- Built-in Diagnostics: Includes an LED indicator that provides simple feedback on the tool's status, such as low battery or service required.
- Tool-Free Depth Adjustment: Allows for quick and easy adjustment of the fastening depth without needing additional tools.
