What happens here

A critical point of distinction is highlighted with the Graco RAC X guard (blue guard). Unlike other G-thread guards, the RAC X system is proprietary. This means that a Graco RAC X guard will only accept Graco RAC X tips. Tips from other manufacturers, or even Graco's own RAC 5 tips, will not properly seat or function within a RAC X guard. This proprietary design restricts users to a single brand and specific tip type for these particular guards, which the presenter advises against.

Goal: The presenter warns that Graco RAC X guards are proprietary and only work with Graco RAC X tips, limiting interchangeability.

this off now this is the one kicker i have a graco rack x guard right here it's g thread it's going to thread right on there and this is where people ask me well will my graco or my titan gun you know use graco products you can screw a graco rack x guard on there but it has to have a rack x tip to go along with it you cannot take a rack guard and put tips from any other manufacturer in there they are proprietary guards and tips they will not line up it will not seat in their property and it will not work even graco rack five tips graco wrap five tips will not work in a rack x guard and that's probably the reason why orr is the reason why i highly recommend you do not purchase and use rack rack x guards this is the graco blue guard because you're very limited to what you can use you are limited to only using graco rack x tips
