In Focus: Makita 18V LXT Cordless Grease Gun

Application

The 18V LXT Grease Gun is engineered for lubricating vehicles and machinery. It is ideal for automotive, as well as farm, fleet, and construction equipment. 

Features and benefits

The Makita grease gun has a key point of difference: Auto-speed mode. This feature automatically switches the flow rate to match the higher pressure of the part being greased based on resistance. This means more efficient greasing so users can get the job done faster and move on to the next zerk fitting. Another key point of difference is compatibility. It’s powered by a fast-charging 18V LXT battery, the same battery that’s compatible with over 275 different Makita cordless products. 

Selling points

• The grease gun comes as a tool only, No. XPG01Z or as a kit, No. XPG01SR1
