- Change the way you lube with the @MakitaToolsUSA XPG01 18V Grease Gun. We've all been there, holding the hose on the grease fitting while trying to pump and hold the grease gun at the same time. You either need a pet monkey or a third hand to make it work. With the cordless grease gun from Makita, you only need to pull the trigger. Up to 10,000 psi and a variable speed trigger, you can dispense up to 10 oz. per minute. These are available as a bare tool for $239, or you can get the XPG01, 2Ah battery, and charger for $299. Makita includes a 3-year warranty on the tool.

I just picked one up on Amazon for sale at $163. Thanks for the review.
Tools Tested another you tuber put the Makita up against 9 other brands including Milwaukee and Dewalt..Makita came out on top. This review sealed the deal. Ordered one today.
Great video. Just purchased and needed to understand the Ins and outs. This video did a great job showing me what I needed to know.
love the my Makita grease gun! The new cartridge will stick out a bit...just insert whole spring loaded holder in and push n turn till thread catches. Works like a charm!!!
A Makita 18v grease gun... It's about time!! Better late than never, I guess.
I'd love to see @AvE get his hands on one of these.
Yes, great video. Would be great if you did a comparison with other beands, such as Milwalukee, Ryobi, Ridgid, Dewalt, Lincoln, Bauer, etc; and, one that I see getting quite good reviews... the HART! Thank YOU!
I got it back in July. Have been using 5 to 6 days a week. And most days it's 1.5 tubes a day some days 3 tubes. Greasing anything from a skidder to bulldozer to a excavator. Mostly muddy conditions. Personally I love it. Battery life is really good. And always unscrew the tube a few turns before pulling the handle back. And yes it's a little aggravating with the tubs not seating all the way down but I have gotten use to it now.
Thanks I plan on using it for heavy equipment at work. I’m tired of the manual grease guns.
@@ChrisLawley43 year later it’s still going it’s probably worked out to be about a tube a day. Still some days it’s 2 to 3 tubes a 5.0 battery will go about 2 weeks on a tube a day
Just undo blunger & turn it around (or push plunger out end of cylinder & insert the other way around)as it was set bulk grease, not cartridges
I just have a small diesel triple grass cutter,, would this be an overkill for greasing the machine ?
Anyone got a solution for the cartridge not fully inserting? I'm having the same problem on mine!
Ok..excellent
Hi there,
Where can I find Mikita cordless grease gun with this price please.
Looking forward to hearing from you.
Have a good evening.
Hi Tim, this is very interesting and impressive, Mikita put out a very good tool with this, much better with luging around the huge lube Mechanical barrel lol,
Exactly right! Thanks for watching.
@@Shoptoolreviews Tim you always produce quality videos, very interesting and informative,
Hello Tim.. long time no writing but watching your videos
Every day I am more tempted to buy one like this
Hey, thanks, as always.
I wonder how this one compares to the Metabo grease gun
Great ,thank you very much for your amazing an explanation.

I got one.. I love it, only issue I had was grease was getting on the backside of the plunger.. swapped it out with a plunger from an old hand pump gun and fixed it. Haven't heard of anyone else with this problem, they might have forgotten the rubber bit on assembly and I got unlucky, either way no biggie
Edit: yeh definitely didn't get the rubber cone like yours has just had the plastic backing.. will have to ring the tool Shop and see if they can get it for me
Had the exact problem!
You needed to only undo & turn plunger around, as it was set up for bulk grease, not cartridges
Do they offer this in a 12v and/or 40v model now? I’ve had great experience with the 20v Dewalt but I would like to try this in the future for a change .
Makita’s 12 volt line is awesome. The price to performance is spot on. You could fill your garage with very capable tools for a fraction of the price going with the 12 volt CXT line up.
The cordless ratchet, sawzall, impact and drill all impressed me. Makitas 1st gen CXT impact was the strongest and fastest out there upon its release. Same with the ratchet that you can switch heads on from 1/4 inch to 3/8. They were leading the way in innovation but have slowed down drastically since then. You’ll get the occasional release of an already existing tool but with a brushless motor and different modes. The innovation and competitiveness just isn’t there for their CXT line anymore. The more they see sales go up I think the more we’ll see them get their competitive edge back. Because it’s kind of just been them releasing cool and capable 12 volt stuff and Milwaukee releasing their own more powerful variant of it lol. I wouldn’t blame Makita if they put the CXT line on the back burner and concentrated on their 40 volt line and specialty tools. I’m invested in their CXT line up but often kick myself when I see the Milwaukee 12 volt offerings and the same old Makita stuff month after month. If I knew I’d never see a 12 volt Makita band saw or copper tubing cutter I’m sad to say it but would probably abandon team teal for team red.
That’s been my experience thus far with the CXT line. I’d love to see another team teal member help inspire the Makita engineers to get off their behinds but the 12 volt line up of other companies are just drastically larger and still growing.
The shop I work at got one used it steady for a week and it died.. Wouldn't pump grease or do anything with a new battery. They gave us a new one and we will see what happens with the second gun.
Any update?
Still don't quite understand why the grease tube would not insert all the way. The other battery grease guns I've used allows the tube to insert all the way. Obviously the rubber follower is fitting in the tube else it wouldn't flow grease. Very confusing.
I'd say the plunger is cocked over inside the tube when it's in that position.. so when you release the rod it lines up again
How common are grease fitting on cars and light trucks now a days? My '65 Corvair has several. I don't recall any other cars I've owned having them.
Exactly! Perhaps heavy equipment or farm machinery. Contemporary Automotive use......zero!
Beautiful Makita quality though.
Most car parts, these days, are throw away and replace items. Gone are the days of taking your vehicle in for an 'oil AND grease'!
i think you got the 400 gram model not the 450 gram model they make 2 canisters to suit
Just got one today. $140 at tsc.
needs a shot counter, how can you tell how much grease is going into a part? ill stick with the milwaukee. Hope they do a better one for the XTG line
Yep was looking at that. I'm on makita platform, but would want to go milwakee for this reason.
Damn... now I have to buy another tool.
No more pumping??? Sounds like my wife
I'm not touching that comment. Thanks for watching.
Have you cleaned the nipples?
I have a fitting that broke off and stuck to the gun. Any ideas how to get it off? Anyone. Thanks
You should be able to take the grease fitting apart and remove the grease zerk.
@@Shoptoolreviews only half on the fitting came off. I was getting frustrated, took it apart. Hit it with a punch and came off but damaged the adapter. Oh well
Put about 20 tubes of grease through it and it stopped pumping lol
He doesn't realize that he has compressed air between the plunger and grease😂
What thread size is the grease coupler? Want to purchase a lock and lube lock on end
You want the standard lock n lube that goes on 1/8 npt fittings. I just put one on my makita today.
@@Jaredbar does the locknlube fit inside the onboard coupler holder?
@@jasoncooperpcola the end of it slides in but it can slip out. It only goes in about two inches
@@Jaredbar did you get one for convenience or because you had trouble getting the stock nipple to stay on the fittings? i tried using mine at work today and it seemed like it was too big for the fittings
@@MegaMunchy convenience. the quick connect fittings are too cheap not to consider it. I've busted my knuckles too many times taking a normal fitting off a nipple to care to count lol
Would recommend Milwaukee over makita
Milwaukee's is weaker tho. This one pushes 20% higher PSIs than the M18. I prefer that over the counter dial that I never use anyways.
Hey it's not made to do that stop trying to push it in and put it in the damn grease gun
I'm an elevator mechanic. I'd love this but my boss would never buy it for me.
That’s a bummer. You would think this would be a great time saver. Thanks for watching
Elevator mechanics make over 100 an hour. Buy it.
@@galvanizedgnome
I don't know where you got that wage from, but that far from the truth.
Even the top paying Locals are still under $60/hr.
Also, I never said I wouldn't buy it, I just said that my boss wouldn't. ;)
Working by the hour I’d want the slowest method available.
