The Makita XPG01Z 18V LXT Lithium-Ion Cordless Grease Gun, Tool Only is a battery-powered grease gun built for faster lubrication work in a workshop, garage, or service setting. This is a cordless grease gun designed for lubricating fittings on vehicles and equipment. Model Number: XPG01Z. If you already run Makita 18V LXT batteries, this bare tool gives you a cleaner and more efficient way to handle routine maintenance without dragging around an air hose or pumping a manual gun all day.

The big numbers here matter because they directly affect how quickly the job gets done. With up to 10,000 PSI of maximum pressure and a maximum flow rate of 10 fl. oz. per minute, this grease gun is set up to move grease fast while still having enough force for tighter or more resistant fittings. Makita also gives you two speed modes, Low and Auto-Speed, plus a variable speed trigger. That combination gives you more control than a one-speed tool, especially when you move between easy-access zerks and fittings that need a more measured feed rate.

Auto-Speed mode is one of the more useful features on this tool because it adjusts grease flow automatically to match the resistance of the part being greased. In plain terms, that helps keep delivery more consistent when conditions change. For the user, that means less guesswork and less mess. The lock-on button is another practical feature that matters more than it sounds like it should. On longer lubrication cycles, it reduces the need to hold the trigger the entire time, which helps cut down hand fatigue.

Makita built this tool around jobsite and shop usability, not just raw output. The 47-1/4 inch flexible hose gives you reach into fittings that are hard to access behind guards, under equipment, or in tighter service areas. An air bleed valve helps with faster pump priming, which is a real time-saver when you are trying to get the tool ready and moving. Built-in twin LED lights with a separate switch help you find grease fittings in low light, under a vehicle, or in darker corners of a service bay. The stand-up design and included shoulder strap setup also make it easier to stage and carry between tasks.

As part of the Makita 18V LXT platform, the XPG01Z fits into one of the broadest cordless tool systems out there. It is compatible with Makita 18V LXT Lithium-Ion batteries with the Star symbol, and the tool uses Star Protection Computer Controls to help protect against overloading, over-discharging, and overheating. That matters if you are using this grease gun as part of a larger Makita cordless setup and want battery and tool communication designed to protect runtime and service life.

This cordless grease gun makes the most sense for mechanics, equipment owners, fleet maintenance crews, shop techs, and serious DIY users who regularly grease fittings and want to work faster with less effort. If you only grease a machine once in a while, a manual gun may still get you by. But if lubrication is a routine part of your work, the Makita XPG01Z 18V LXT Lithium-Ion Cordless Grease Gun, Tool Only is the kind of upgrade that saves time every week.
