May 5, 2026, La Mirada, CA – Makita U.S.A., Inc., manufacturer of high-quality professional tools, power equipment, and accessories, has released the 40V max XGT® Grease Gun (GPG01). The new Grease Gun features a Makita-built brushless motor that delivers a category-leading flow rate of 12oz. per minute at 10,000 PSI of max pressure.

Speed Control and Precise Greasing

The new Grease Gun includes Air Lock Detection, engineered to prevent damage and misapplication of grease due to grease replacement air lock. It features Constant Speed Control, which ensures stable, consistent discharge during greasing. The Constant Speed Control function is also responsible for precise greasing, and the Discharge Counter allows preset discharge control up to 99 strokes.

Greater Access to Fittings, Faster
