Meet the new nailer that’s all gas, and no brakes. Ramset’s new TrakFast 65 unleashes more of everything a tradie needs to get the job done fast, powerfully and properly.
Now more than ever, tradies need a compelling reason to drop their current nailer in favour of a new one.
Ramset has loaded its new TrakFast 65 with a tonne of features that makes it a true upgrade for those working on framing or track and partitioning work.
Nathan ‘Nath’ Dowell is one such tradie who uses gas-power nailers for framing all the time, across a tonne of different materials.
Fortunately for Nath, the newest TrakFast 65 is built to work for long days of hard work with consistent results.
We joined Nath at a site in Melbourne’s east for this Tough Test.
Test #1: Power to the people
The TrakFast 65 is Ramset’s most powerful gas-powered cordless tool, delivering an awesome 105J of impact power in every shot.

“You can tell this is the most powerful nailer of its kind on the market right now,” Nath said.
Nath had a go pinning down a few frames as well as a few c-channels and into concrete for some formwork.
That 105J of power was put to good use as Nath cruised through pinning timber to concrete, timber sheeting and steel c-channels with ease.
“This is amazing,” Nath said.
“I was really impressed … I can’t fault this at all, it handled everything I threw at it.”
Given its name, it only makes sense that the TrakFast 65 can shoot up to 65mm length pins, which is another handy upgrade over its predecessors.
“Being able to shoot 65s makes light work for pinning down thicker frames and c-channel,” Nath added.
“I don’t need to change anything with the tool, I can just slide the smaller pins out and chuck the big 65mm ones in and away we go.”
Test #2: Built for better
Not just from a power and capacity point of view; the TrakFast 65 is built with convenience in mind.
The tool can deliver 10,000 shots per battery charge – pair that with a high-capacity gas canister and Nath has enough ‘oomph’ to do an entire residential frame in one sitting.
“No need to go get PA charges, no more reloading all the time, away you go,” Nath said.
“It leaves my old tool in the dust.”
Speaking of dust, the TrakFast 65 eliminates pre-drilling and delivers a clean shot with little-to-no dust created. Despite its large capacity, the TrakFast 65 was super light and compact, making it easy for Nath to clip on his belt and whip out when he needed to.
Tracking well
Ramset’s TrakFast 65 is designed for all-round convenience for tradies. Aside from all the major talking points Nath pointed out during the test, the tool has a tonne of ‘one per centers’ that combine to make it true upgrade to the tool kit.
“It’s an unreal bit of kit,” Nath said.
“It’s definitely getting added to my arsenal – it’s like having another chippy on deck.
“There’s so many steps taken out to make it quick and easy to use – you just gas ‘n’ go!”
