The 18V LXT® Lithium-Ion Cordless 20 oz. Barrel Style Caulk and Adhesive Gun (model XGC01T1B) is a versatile, powerful lightweight solution for any contractor dispensing large amounts of caulk and adhesives. It’s part of Makita’s expanding 18V Lithium-Ion series, the world’s largest cordless tool system powered by 18V Lithium-Ion slide-style batteries. Makita 18V Lithium-Ion batteries have the fastest charge times in their categories, so they spend more time working and less time sitting on the charger. For improved tool performance and extended battery life, Makita created Star Protection Computer Controls™. Star Protection is communication technology that allows the Star Protection-equipped tool and battery to exchange data in real time and monitor conditions during use to protect against overloading, over-discharging and overheating. For increased versatility, the tool can also be powered by Makita 18V LXT® and Compact Lithium-Ion batteries with the star symbol on the battery indicating Star Protection inside. The XGC01T1B delivers 1,100 lbs. of dispensing force for even the highest viscosity adhesives and sealants. The XGC01T1B features a 5-speed dial (0-66 IPM) and variable speed trigger that optimizes flow rate and allows for faster dispensing. It has a compact design at 21-1/4” with less weight (only 6.0 lbs. with 18V LXT battery). Convenience features include a 360° rotatable cartridge holder for increased comfort and ease-of-use when dispensing, as well as a built-in L.E.D. light that illuminates the work area for improved visibility. The XGC01T1B allows the user to dispense 20 oz. cartridge, sausage packs and bulk materials.
