NEW MAKITA 18V CAULKING GUNS COMBINE POWER, SPEED AND CONVENIENCE

18V LXT® cordless caulking guns deliver most dispensing force in their category

Makita's new 18V Caulking Guns deliver power, speed and convenience.

La Mirada, CA – Makita, a worldwide manufacturer of technologically advanced power tools that are more compact with less weight yet deliver industrial power and results, has added to its expanding 18V line-up with two new cordless caulking guns, the 18V LXT® 10 oz. Caulk and Adhesive Gun (LXGC011) and the 18 LXT® 20 oz. Barrel Style Caulk and Adhesive Gun (LXGC011B). 

The new caulking guns are the latest additions to the Makita’s expanding 18V LXT® line-up, with 70+ cordless tools powered by one fast-charging 18V Lithium-Ion battery that reaches a full charge in only 30 minutes. Makita LXT® is the world’s largest 18V lithium-Ion cordless tool line-up. 
 
The new caulking guns are a versatile, powerful and lightweight solution for any contractor dispensing large amounts of caulk and adhesives. They are ideal for commercial glazers, residential window installers, siding contractors, painters, tilt-up contractors, remodelers, auto manufacturing technicians, aerospace workers, boat builders, and more.  
 
18V LXT® Lithium-Ion Cordless 10 oz. Caulk and Adhesive Gun (LXGC011)
The LXGC011 delivers 1,100 lbs. of dispensing force for even the highest viscosity adhesives and sealants. The LXGC011 features a 5-speed dial (0-66 IPM) and variable speed trigger that optimizes flow rate and allows for dispensing up to 2.5X faster than other cordless caulking guns. It has a compact design at 15-7/8” with less weight (only 5.1 lbs. with BL1830 18V LXT® battery). Convenience features include 360° rotatable cartridge holder that fits 10 oz. and 300 ml cartridges, as well as a built-in L.E.D. light that illuminates the work area for improved visibility. The LXGC011 also features an Overload Indicator Light that notifies the operator when the tool is nearly overloaded to minimize breakage of the sealant cartridge. It is available as a kit (LXGC011) and as a tool-only (LXGC01Z). 
 
18V LXT® Lithium-Ion Cordless 20 oz. Barrel Style Caulk and Adhesive Gun (LXGC011B)
The LXGC011B allows the user to dispense 20 oz. cartridge, sausage packs and bulk materials. Similar to the LXGC011, the LXGC011B delivers 1,100 lbs. of dispensing force for even the highest viscosity adhesives and sealants. The LXGC011B features a 5-speed dial (0-66 IPM) and variable speed trigger that optimizes flow rate and allows for dispensing up to 2.5X faster than other cordless caulking guns. It has a compact design at 21-1/4” with less weight (only 6.0 lbs. with BL1830 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 LXGC011B also features an Overload Indicator Light that notifies the operator when the tool is nearly overloaded to minimize breakage of the sealant cartridge. It is available as a kit (LXGC011B) and as a tool-only (LXGC01ZB).
