I purchased a Lincoln which has worked great. My dad had one which is why I purchased the brand. I don't think you can go wrong with any of the brands that have been mentioned.
Battery powered grease gun recommendations?

Thanks for the Answers regarding the weight of the Dewalt unit.

I see Milwaukee #2646-20 has a Pre Set Grease Counter Dial, anyone know if this really is worth anything ? Does the Dewalt have a similar feature?? As I usually place 2 or 3 pumps with my manual grease gun per most zerks on my loader as I just what to place enough to just start to push out some of the existing grease.
I have the Milwaukee M18 Fuel grease gun; had it for a couple of years now. Absolutely love it. Nice long hose with a holder that keeps the grease inside; has an LED light so you can see what you're greasing, has two speeds (volume vs pressure) and also has the preset grease dial. I don't use the preset amount dial...might be useful for certain applications, but for me I just wait to see grease moving out from whatever joint or coupling I'm greasing.

This must be a new one on the topic of Battery Powered Grease Guns, maybe the other Thread is just Grease Guns.
I always used the Lever Pump Type of grease Gun... they worked, but I always had fittings that would not take grease and using all the methods I knew I couldn't make them take grease; won't go further on that !
I decided about three or four years ago to buy a new grease gun, read up on all, got some good feed back on all the brands... there is always someone that like a certain brand.
I am not different that everyone else, I like DeWalt Tools, their twelve volt series is a great tool at a light weight and the latest releases are even more powerful, but there were no twelve volt grease guns, made by deWalt. I put the money down on a twenty volt DeWalt Grease Gun and I have never looked back. Well maybe on one thing and it could just be me, getting the grease tube out of the gun when it is empty !
After using the DeWalt twenty volt grease gun for the first time I had to stop and wonder WHY I didn't buy this sooner.
Most grease fitting just accepted grease, a problem that did arise was the end of the gun, that grabbed the grease fitting, it would leak grease out the sides.
In cometh the Lock-N-Lube Grease Gun Coupler, WOW, if I was surprised how well the Battery Powered Grease Gun was working, this Coupler was the next step up; as with the Gun, it just worked !
So I own the DeWalt 20V Grease Gun with the Lock-N-Lube Grease Gun Coupler XL, the long Coupler, and I have never been happier when greasing the Tractor. Although I have asked the Wife to buy the Lock-N-Lube Attachment Kit.
Everyone has their opinions, everyone likes a certain brand, mine is DeWalt, and I have proof of how well it works every time I use it !

Isn't 18 volts old tech ?
The industry is working 60 volts, 20 as the standard, and I am not sure if I saw a 120volt battery, just how big can they get... ?

Actually, 20 volts is all just marketing hype. A 18 volt battery and a 20 volt battery are both at 20 volts when fully charged.
The 18 volt battery is based on the "resting voltage" when it is fully charged and has sat for a while.
A 20 volt battery is based on the peak charge voltage when it has just come off the charger.
See: 2 V Max Vs 18V: Setting the Record Straight | Pro Tool Reviews for more details.

+1 Lock N Lube Couplers.
11 years ago I purchased a 12v Lincoln with only 1 battery, wanted it as light as I could get at the time so be the 12v, and 1 battery only gets charge about 1 to 2 times a year.
Purchased a Lock N Lube coupler a few years ago, and I should of bought it as soon as they came out...
Makes greasing the tractor is so easy a cave man can do it...
