Makita HG001GZ01 40Vmax XGT Cordless 600°C Heat Gun – Tool Only

The Makita HG001GZ01 40Vmax XGT Cordless Heat Gun is a high-output heating solution designed to deliver performance comparable to traditional AC-powered heat guns, while offering the mobility and flexibility of cordless operation. Built on Makita’s 40Vmax XGT platform, this heat gun is engineered for demanding applications that require high temperatures and strong airflow, such as PVC welding, heat welding waterproof membranes, and shrinking large-diameter heat-shrink tubing commonly used on power and industrial cables.

Capable of reaching temperatures up to 600°C (1,112°F) with a maximum airflow of 7.1 CFM (200 l/min), the HG001GZ01 provides fast, consistent heating for production-level work. The tool actively maintains stable temperature and airflow by adjusting current as battery voltage changes, ensuring consistent output throughout the charge cycle. A backlit LCD display allows precise control and monitoring of temperature and airflow settings, with clear indicators for battery level and system status. The quick-release nozzle system enables safe, tool-free nozzle changes without contacting hot metal parts, while compatibility with Makita DC and AC heat gun nozzles expands application flexibility. A rubberized soft grip, lock-on button, hanging hook, and LED job light with afterglow support comfortable, controlled operation in a variety of jobsite environments. Batteries and Charger Sold Separately.
