Anyone have experience using one of these?
I have been using hilti dx351 and I have 2 track fast nailers. The hilti dx351 always works and has never let me down. The track fast guns are amazing when they work, but I seem to have issues with them often I spend more time trouble shooting the problems then I do using them.
I have been eagerly awaiting dewalt to release a 20v style track fast gun. But I doubt that will happen soon.
I recently was approached to buy a hilti gx120 that is lightly used. I was hesitant because my issues with the track fast. But I read the gx120 doesn’t have a battery. How does it fire with no battery to create a spark or for a fan?
Anyone use one? Thoughts?
I love all my hilti tools, but the price usually keeps me from buying them.
I’ve seen the GX 120 in action years ago, nice nailgun. From memory, it does have a small battery that is replaced once a year, it’s not the normal rechargable battery.
I went ahead and bought this gun. So far I like it much better the the pasload trackfast guns. Lighter, better feel, no batteries to chArge and its a hilti.
Only downside is it doesn’t take trackfast nails which I can buy locally i had to order nails from hilti. I found some on eBay that I will probably order to save some cash.
Update. This gun is amazing. So happy I pulled the trigger on this one. No batteries to charge and shoots quickly. Also the skinny nose can get in hard to reach places.
