Check out what your dealer has to offer. You get to put your hands on it and I bet the pricing is very comparable. I like the John Deere pistol grip grease gun. As a matter of fact, I just picked up another one of them.

thats a good deal right?
That's a very good deal, and the best deal I've found. For example, Northern Tool sells it for $44.99 + $7.99 for shipping, your looking at over $50 there. I think you'd be pretty hard pressed to fine a grease gun of that high quality for that good of a price anywhere else. I used mine for the first time last Monday to grease all the points on my RFM, as well as the loader, and it never lost it's prime from the last time I used it.

Who sells the grease needles? I need one for the front driveshaft on my Dodge truck.

Any bearing shop. Just get a good one!!1 the cheap one i bought (at PAuto canadas harbour freight), the needle pulled right out of the place where the grease coupler connects. It could have been bad of it shot off under pressure!

I bought one at Advance Auto. There are two types you can get, one that's thin but still slightly larger than a medical needle, and one that is about the size of a straw w/ a cone tip. With the thin needle you actually insert it into the eyelet on the U-joint, and with the cone it's intended to be pressed up against the eyelet and held there while you pump. After thinking about it, I figured that the thin needle that inserts into the eyelet would be the best option and the least hassle. The only pain is that it is hard as anything to get the needle out of the end of the hose unless you have a loose coupler. Make sure you don't stick yourself with the needle either, that wouldn't be fun.
