Battery powered grease gun recommendations?

[case580c]

Looking for the actual operating weight with a (full grease cartridge) of a Milwaukee #2646-20 and for a DEWALT 20V MAX I have read that the Dewalt is heavy. The specs say a dewalt wt is 8 lbs but also see comment from some that state it weighs 14.8 pounds. Thanks for your input

DeWalt 20v with battery and relatively full grease tube : 9 lbs, 13.5oz on a postal scale (no case or charger).
It's an awesome grease gun.

My DeWalt 20V weighs 8 lbs 10 oz with no grease or battery.

I got a DeWalt 20V last year. Simply great. Less grease all over me - more in the zerks. Easy, quick & efficient.

Can't go wrong with DeWalt or Milwaukee (people I know who have used both give Milwaukee a slight edge), but for the OP's 2 year old question, Ryobi now makes a cordless grease gun: 18V ONE+™ GREASE GUN | RYOBI Tools

Bought the DeWalt 20V last year also.
Had a Lincoln pneumatic, which in comparison is a POS.

The Dewalt is heavyish. But with the long hose (and even better a Lock N Lube) you set it on some surface nearby while hooking up & pumping. No need to actually hold it in most cases.

It seems as though it would be difficult to find any battery powered grease gun significantly lighter.
Total weight must equal gun assembly, full tube of grease, hose, and battery.
Pneumatic is lighter (no battery weight), but dealing with the air hose is a major hassle.

I've got a handful of Ryobi stuff to use at home, and I grabbed their grease gun back at christmas, when they had the batteries/free tool combo. It works great. It is kinda heavy, but I don't know how it compares to the others. It is Ryobi, so only time will tell if it'll hold up, but I have no complaints after the first few months.

We have a DeWalt one at work, it is also heavy but with the long hose there is usually enough space to set it down someplace and not have to hold it the whole time that you're greasing.
