Makita’s new cordless GP001G 40vMax XGT grease gun is flagged up as a practical and precise tool suitable for the largest machinery.
With a 1.2m flexible hose, the fixed quantity discharge function simplifies applying the required volume of grease. With a maximum flow rate of 350ml/min, a maximum operating pressure of 69Pa and an air lock detection function, Makita claims that it can increase efficiency by as much as 175% at 40MPa when compared to the existing 18v model.
“In terms of performance and speed of discharge, the GP001G exceeds our previous models while crucially maintaining the same maximum discharge pressure,” comments Kevin Brannigan, marketing manager at Makita UK.
Discharge volume is adjusted with a simple trigger pull, and continuous greasing is simplified by locking the trigger, which also helps to prevent accidental operation. Bulk grease is directly loadable into the gun’s barrel.
Compared to its predecessors, the redesigned lower housing has a wider opening to simplify changes to the bellows cartridge. There is also a handy twin LED job light, and the new grease gun comes with a shoulder strap.
Suitable for use with the firm’s BL4080H, BL4020 and BL4080F batteries, new accessories include a three-piece adapter set as well as a loader fitting, an adapter, joint and flexible hose set.
