Simpson Strong-Tie GCN-CHG007 120V Charging Base only

The GCN-MEPMAGKT gas-actuated concrete nailer is a portable fastener tool for attaching light-duty fixtures to concrete, steel, concrete block (CMU), lightweight concrete over metal deck, and cold-formed steel. As a magazine tool, GCN-MEPMAGKT is ideal for attaching drywall track, furring strips, hat track and angle track using GDP and GDPS collated pins.

GCN-MEPMAGKT offers you the flexibility of having two tools in one convenient package — a magazine tool and a single-shot tool, since the magazine is easily removed without additional assembly tools. As a single-shot tool, the GCN-MEPMAGKT is great for attaching mechanical, electrical and plumbing fixtures with pre-assembled pins/accessories such as washer pins, ceiling clips, tophats and threaded studs. The pre-assembled pins for the single-shot tool use 0.300"-headed fasteners with 0.125"-diameter shanks for stronger fastening performance.

Both the single-shot and magazine tool offer portability without the need for cords or hoses, and are actuated with GFC34 gas fuel cells.

Key Features

• Power to drive 0.125"-diameter pins
• Flexibility to drive 1/2" to 1 1/2" pins
• Flexibility to drive 0.250" and 0.300" dia. headed pins
• Pin-depth adjustment dial
• Battery charge indicator light
• Comfortable “sure-grip” rubber handle and ladder hook
• Easy start-up procedure: Insert fuel cell, insert battery, load pins, and begin use

Minimum Cleaning Required
The GCN-MEPMAGKT has a very efficient ignition system that provides complete fuel combustion. This results in a cleaner operating tool, which, in turn, results in more tool energy and higher productivity. To maintain maximum level of productivity, periodic cleaning is recommended.

• Only requires cleaning every 20,000 shots
• Easy access to the air filter and piston chamber

Applications

• Mechanical / Electrical / Plumbing
• Fastening to Structural Steel
• Direct Fastening
• Ceiling-Wire Fastening
