Makita's new Compact Extreme Technology (CXT) introduces a range of 12V tools featuring a new slide battery. The CXT range is similar to the 18V LXT Li-Ion battery used in the heavier tool range, and has multi-contact terminals to ensure stable contact even under extreme work vibration conditions. The slide battery fits easily into the tools and new chargers and has the same high power. Features include a 300ml tube holder, anti-drip function, and up to 5000 N of push force. Variable speed is controlled by trigger or dial, with a trigger lock for convenience. Powered by Makita 12V Max batteries, this caulking gun has a compact and lightweight design, along with a soft-grip handle, for easy use and precise control. The variable speed control dial and variable speed trigger switch allow for maximum pushing speed for optimum flow rate, matching the speed to the application. It also includes an overload warning lamp, LED work light, and a 360° rotating sealant holder for working from any angle.
