Probably the worst advise ever. Those fittings are recessed because of their suseptabilty to breakage.
I also have a few spots the lock n lube won't fit due to it's size.
I will most likely replace the coupler on this gun with a better straight one. The narrow coupler on my Alemite gun works great so I will switch it next time and probably buy a replacement if I want to use that gun again.

I have the De Walt and it is super. At first I thought "only rich guys do this and I'm not nearly rich". This gun cut the time to grease of my equipment at least 1/2 the time and made it easy! Needless to say I'm a happy camper!

Maybe you just have a poorly designed loader? I have yet to run into a fitting on anything, including several loaders that I can't get my L&L on or alter the fitting to do so. I do understand that on some it just is not possible but I do not give bad advice and surely not the worst ever!

I have a couple of grease points on my PTO powered bagger that are near impossible to get the lock and lube onto...It wasn't much easier with the standard coupler, but the lock-n-lube definitely made it harder. I believe its poor design on that piece of equipment, and I've been meaning to make/buy some extenders to put the zerks in a better place, but always seem to have more important things to do! So I can understand the sentiment, if your particular piece of equipment is "difficult" to grease. However, for most people with a bunch of zerks to fill, a powered grease gun with lock-n-lube will be a great combination! Between my loader, backhoe, mower, and the tractor itself, I have 40-50 zerks, and I never want to do it manually again!

I have the 18v DeWalt version... Been two seasons now. Absolutely love it. My hand and pneumatic grease guns are long forgotten now.
It'll amaze you just how quickly you can go thru a tube of grease!

I opted for the DEWALT DCGG571B 20-volt MAX bare tool.
I've got a number of 20v batteries either in use or on charge. (1.5mah-5mah)
Works great and I've always hated the gripping, pumping or dragging the air line around the shop just to lube my machinery.

Take the wipe hose off the grease gun collecting dust and put a grease zerk on the end. Then clip it to the lock n lub for the ones you can't use the lock n lub on. We have the 18volt dewalt in the shop, won't use anything else, there is an adapter that will convert the 18v to 20 volt works well, lithium ion batteries last longer. steve

I just bought one on Amazon, it was $123.48 for the 18 volt bare tool (I have lots of 18V batteries) when I added it to my cart it applied another $25 discount so I got it for $98.48

Check the pawn shops. I bought a Lincoln last spring for 60.00 and I love it. I was also amazed how fast you can go thru the grease in half the time
