The Makita XGC01ZB is an 18V LXT cordless 20 oz. barrel-style caulk and adhesive gun for sausage-pack foil adhesives and sealants. It delivers 1,100 lbs. of dispensing force across five variable speed settings (0–66 IPM). The 21-1/4 in. barrel frame accommodates the larger 20 oz. foil sausage packs common in commercial construction — eliminating cartridge waste and reducing material cost versus smaller single-use cartridges. Tool only — battery and charger sold separately.
What does 'barrel style' mean on the XGC01ZB?
Barrel style refers to the gun accepting 20 oz. foil sausage packs — a cylindrical tube of adhesive or sealant inserted into a metal sleeve — rather than the standard plastic cartridge. Sausage packs produce less waste and are more economical for high-volume commercial jobs.
What sealants and adhesives does the XGC01ZB support?
The XGC01ZB works with any sealant or adhesive available in 20 oz. foil sausage packs: silicone, hybrid polymer, MS polymer, polyurethane, and construction adhesives. The 1,100 lb. dispensing force handles even high-viscosity materials.
How does the XGC01ZB differ from the XGC01Z?
The XGC01ZB accepts 20 oz. barrel/sausage packs; the XGC01Z accepts standard 10 oz. plastic cartridges. If your jobsite uses foil-pack sealants for reduced waste and cost, the XGC01ZB is the correct model.
What is the dispensing speed of the XGC01ZB?
Variable speed ranges from 0 to 66 IPM across five settings. Slower settings provide precision bead control; faster settings move through large sealing jobs quickly.
What batteries are compatible with the XGC01ZB?
All Makita 18V LXT slide-style batteries with the Star symbol are compatible. For high-volume commercial caulking, a BL1850B (5.0Ah) provides the longest run time between charges.
Is there a kit version of the XGC01ZB?
The XGC01T1B kit (20 oz. barrel version with two 5.0Ah batteries and charger) has been discontinued. Pair the XGC01ZB tool-only with your existing 18V LXT batteries or purchase batteries separately.
