Grease Guns

Oh, one other thing. When I was trying to grease me truck yesterday, it came to me that there needs to be an L shaped grease gun end. I cannot get those long metal tips on so many fittings very easy. Do they make such a thing?

I have this style on my pistol grip gun.

Just bought a Milwaulkee 18V version. $160 with charger and battery. Wife plotzed. I told her that grease is super hard to pump out in the winter. She told me to loose some weight. I told her my wallet was thinner, she said it wasn't enough. I suggested to her I knew how to loose 150lbs of ugly fat. Spent the night in the garage with my new grease gun.

I have one of those air powered grease guns... You hear it working, but you don't know if the grease is going in.......I hate that!

Also, when they get cold, they don't want to push that cold grease...

I don't know a lot about grease guns have 1/2 doz. that no longer pump ( how does a manual grease gun wear out?) dam things run in grease. My main go to one now is air & it works best between 50-100# less no good more locks it up. From others experiences with battery ones ( I think with all) keep them warm for good grease flow and avoid have the plastic parts in side giving up the ghost on you.

I just wipe the leftovers and stick it in a small sealed jar for those other grease jobs. What I
Don't like is how deep those sharp pull top edges are and how deep and easily it slices that finger when I forget about it being there.

And that pretty red blood, looks funny lying on the grease doesn't it? I have also "learned over the years to be very carefully with that little motion.

Being around equipment and trucks all my life, I have lots of time with a grease gun. Lincoln used to make a good gun, but the last couple I got were junk.
I think Alemite makes the best quality guns.

And if you buy an electric avoid the 12V and get the 18V or 20V.
