DEWALT 20V MAX XR Trak-It C6 Gas Nailer (Bare Tool)

Description

Dragging pneumatic lines through busy commercial drywall framing projects creates severe tripping hazards around metal stud tracks. The DEWALT 20V MAX XR Trak-It gas nailer drives structural pins into cold-formed steel track and hard concrete floors. This specialized tool fires gas-driven track pins up to one-and-one-half inches in length. High-strength aggregate concrete causes severe pin bending when pins strike hard gravel inclusions.

An internal combustion chamber burns metered gas fuel, utilizing a ductile iron cylinder sleeve to contain explosive combustion pressures. An S7 tool steel driver piston transfers expansion energy directly to the structural track pin with minimal kinetic loss. Intake air routes through synthetic foam filters while sintered bronze exhaust ports dissipate spent hot combustion gases. Internal needle roller bearings guide the mechanical charging cam without axial deflection.

Track Pin Mechanical Features

Compact magazine profiles fit directly inside narrow metal drywall track channels to secure baseplates to concrete slabs. Gas combustion power drives pins flush without the recoil shock of powder-actuated systems.

• Twenty-volt battery module delivers electronic fuel metering and high-voltage ignition spark through thousands of drives
• Internal gas combustion cell generates penetration force without external air lines or heavy powder cartridges
• Slender nosepiece contact bracket centers structural pins inside deep one-and-five-eighths-inch metal track flanges
• Forty-pin magazine channel feeds collated steel pins without mechanical feed pawl jamming during rapid installation
• Tool-free fastener jam clearing latch opens the nose casting to remove buckled concrete pins
• Sintered bronze exhaust deflector disperses hot combustion gases away from the drywall installer face
• Twist-lock gas canister compartment seals internal fuel valves against pressure leaks during rough handling

Gas Combustion Bench Telemetry

Testing registers impact energy outputs surpassing forty-eight foot-pounds of fastener drive force per combustion cycle. Equivalent pneumatic shop demand equals 3.4 CFM at 90 PSI dynamic line pressure during steady forty-pin-per-minute operation. Acoustic testing registers peak impulse noise levels of 95 dBA at operator ear level inside enclosed rooms. Cylinder head temperatures rise fifty-five degrees Fahrenheit above ambient during sustained commercial framing track runs. Mechanical cycle speed allows two complete fastener cycles per second.

Maintenance Rules Fleet Filter

Do not deploy this tool for wood-to-wood residential framing or fastening thick heavy structural steel plates over one-quarter inch. Pins deflect off heavy structural steel, posing dangerous ricochet risks to surrounding trades. Running unapproved generic fuel cells clogs the fuel injection metering valve with heavy oily paraffin wax.

• Strip the combustion chamber every fifteen thousand cycles to scrub carbon soot off the piston head.
• Clean the electronic ignition spark probe using brass wire brushes to prevent cylinder misfires.
• Replace the foam air intake filter pad when fine drywall dust restricts fresh air combustion flow.
