DeWALT 1/2 in. x 0.120 in. CCN Steel Nails for Metal Track to Steel are purpose-built concrete cleats designed for fastening steel track directly to concrete, block, or steel substrates. With a zinc-coated smooth shank and angled stick collation, these pins deliver fast, reliable anchoring when used with compatible DeWALT cordless and gas-actuated nailers - making them a practical choice for framing, furring, and metal track installation on a variety of structural surfaces.

Key Features

• Steel construction - provides strong, durable holding power suitable for demanding metal track and concrete fastening applications
• Zinc finish - adds a layer of corrosion resistance to extend the service life of the fastener in typical interior construction environments
• Smooth shank design - requires less driving energy compared to ring shank nails, allowing for faster, more efficient installation with less tool wear
• Angled stick collation with plastic collation material - enables smooth, reliable feeding in angled nailers for uninterrupted workflow
• Round head profile - provides broad surface contact against the workpiece for secure, stable seating after each drive
• 11 gauge, 0.120 in. diameter construction - sized appropriately for secure penetration into steel track and concrete or block substrates
• Compatible with DeWALT cordless nailer models DCN890 and DCN891, as well as the DeWALT gas-actuated TRAK-IT C6 - ensuring broad tool compatibility across cordless and gas-powered systems

Why This Product

• Engineered specifically for metal track to steel fastening - these pins are matched to the application rather than being a general-purpose substitute, which means better seating and holding results in steel stud and track framing work
• Works with both cordless and gas-actuated DeWALT nailers - giving crews the flexibility to use whichever tool platform suits the jobsite, without needing separate consumable inventory
• Smooth shank entry reduces driving resistance - which translates to more consistent pin placement and less tool-cycle strain when driving into concrete, block, or steel
• Zinc coating on a steel pin balances cost-effectiveness with corrosion resistance - making these an economical solution for interior steel framing and furring strip attachment to concrete walls or floors

Frequently Asked Questions

What nailers are compatible with these DeWALT steel track pins?

These nails are designed for use with DeWALT Cordless nailer models DCN890 and DCN891, as well as the DeWALT Gas Actuated TRAK-IT C6. Always verify tool compatibility before use.

What is the difference between smooth shank and ring shank nails, and why does it matter here?

Smooth shank nails require less energy to drive than ring shank nails, which makes them faster to install and easier on the tool. The trade-off is that they provide less holding power than ring shank options - but for metal track fastening into concrete, block, or steel, the smooth shank is the appropriate choice for this application.

Can these pins be used to attach furring strips or plywood, not just steel track?

Yes. In addition to attaching steel track to concrete, block, or steel, these concrete cleats can also be used for attaching furring strips and plywood to concrete and block surfaces.

What does the zinc coating on these steel pins do?

The zinc finish improves the corrosion resistance of the steel pin compared to uncoated steel. While steel is strong and durable, it is less corrosion resistant than stainless steel on its own - the zinc coating helps extend the fastener's service life in typical construction environments.
