Makita 18V LXT Caulk & Adhesive Gun 10 Oz Variable Speed - Makita

The Makita LXGC01Z 18V LXT Caulk & Adhesive Gun provides professional technicians with a cordless solution for precise and consistent application of high-viscosity sealants and adhesives. Engineered for demanding automotive body, glass, and industrial tasks, this tool delivers reliable dispensing force and accurate speed control in a compact design, suitable for both shop and field use.

Key Features

• High Dispensing Force: A robust Makita-built motor generates up to 1,100 lbs of push force, efficiently handling thick materials like seam sealers, structural adhesives, and urethane windshield adhesives without interruption.
• Accurate Flow Control: Maintain optimal bead size with a 5-position speed dial and variable-speed trigger, offering a versatile 0–66 IPM flow range for precision application along weld seams, flanges, and panel joints.
• Drip-Reduction System: An automatic pressure release mechanism activates upon trigger disengagement, significantly reducing material run-on and minimizing cleanup around sensitive areas like glass, trim, and moldings.
• 360° Rotating Cartridge Holder: The rotating 10 oz / 300 ml cartridge holder allows technicians to orient the nozzle precisely, enhancing access and maneuverability in confined spaces such as under-dash areas, trunks, and engine bays.
• Integrated Work Light & Overload Indicator: An integrated LED work light improves visibility in dimly lit areas, while an overload indicator protects the tool from damage during heavy use.

Applications

This professional-grade tool is essential for a range of automotive body and glass work, including applying seam sealer to rocker panels and wheel arches, panel bonding, and urethane installation around windshields, back glass, and quarter glass on passenger cars, light trucks, and commercial vehicles. It is also well-suited for RV and trailer sealing, upfitting, and general shop maintenance, as well as construction and industrial tasks involving silicone and latex caulks, acrylic sealants, construction adhesives, epoxies, gap filling, and weatherproofing around doors, windows, metal panels, and mechanical penetrations.
