Overview

A contractor running bead after bead of sealant gets a battery powered gun that does the squeezing. The dial sets the top flow rate and a variable speed trigger adjusts it on the fly for the job in hand.

Cordless operation removes the hand fatigue of a manual gun and the force rating handles the thickest adhesives. The tool arrives bare, so anyone without LXT batteries has an added purchase to make.

Who it's for

Professional installers and large job crews who go through cartridges all day and already own Makita batteries. A homeowner with a few tubes to run is better off with a manual gun.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Strong dispensing force for thick adhesives
  • Five speed dial plus variable trigger
  • Compact for a cordless tool
  • Three year warranty
Cons
  • Battery and charger not included
  • Only the ten ounce cartridge size is listed
  • Heavier than a manual gun

Performance notes

The dial sets a flow ceiling and the trigger varies speed within it, so the operator can match flow to a bead size or material thickness. Dispensing force comes from the motor drive, which handles viscous adhesives that stall a hand squeezed gun.
