Grease Gun Recommendations

[shooterdon]

Well if you got that much equipment to hit, yeh a manual gun would be stupid. Me, I've used my alemite pistol grip gun for the second time the other day, it was perfectly fine. Actually I stumbled on zirk that was not taking grease, I would not have even known about it if I was using my lincoln pneumatic gun.

This is first time I could say that TBN steered me wrong into initially getting a powered grease gun, hindsight I would have skipped it and went right to the alemite, it's great.

Here's the one I got, came with a lockNlube and the hose swivels as well: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B077Q2H4RW/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Thanks for posting this. I just placed an order for one. I was on the fence about investing over $200 for a DeWalt battery unit but I might put 100-125 hours a year on my tractor, I had been getting by with a little mini-grease gun I used on the riding mower. Those mini-tubes are expensive and a PITA to replace frequently. This should be a step up.

I have an Alemite also. It worked OK but I always had trouble getting a new tube started. I bought a Dewalt and am much happier.

Did you get the one with the hose which swivels? I didn't think that would be a big deal, but I ended up liking that function quite a bit with the alemite.

Bought the Ryobi 18v earlier this year when they were having good deals, paid $55. Bought a Lock N Lube for it and used it for the first time. Easy to load and use no complaints.
For more serious tools i go with Milwaukee M18, but Ryobi has a lot of cheap specialty stuff that seems to work great.

Yesterday I ordered a manual pistol grip, an alemite 555e. It's got a dual mode, pressure or volume, sounds like a pretty nice feature. I really like my pneumatic lincoln 1162, but my massey has been working out back for a while now, no electricity back there hence no compressor.

I have the Lincoln pneumatic, and the 20V DeWalt
Have never used the Lincoln.
Who wants to drag an air hose around in the dirt?
Buying the Lincoln was a BIG mistake!
The 20V DeWalt is absolutely Great !

For those who claim the DeWalt is too expensive.....
I paid $128 delivered to my door (E-Bay)
I already had DeWalt batteries.

Ohio powertools has a special right now, but the 12v stubby impact with batteries for 269.04, get M12 grease gun for free.

Thank you for posting that link. I've got an M12 that I love. But I've been looking for a spare to keep around.
