Santa surprised me with a Dewalt 20V cordless grease gun. Much needed given age has brought with it a bit of arthritis in my hands, and I try to be good about frequent lubrication of my tractor's front end loader.
My manually operated grease guns are stored in a bucket to catch the inevitable grease/oil drippage. That leads me to wonder ...
How do I store a cordless grease gun so as not to destroy the electrical components? It came in a set with a nylon bag and a 1/2" impact wrench, but I fear the grease would make a mess of the inside of the bag. My best guess is to find an appropriately sized tub or bucket, and store it sitting on its feet - with the grease tube on the bottom and the electrical portion on the top.
Your advice and experience is very much welcome!!! By the way, I have an extra Lock-N-Lube tip ready to install on it!!
Oh, is the pulsing sound roughly equivalent to the number of squeezes of a manual grease gun? The manual doesn't say. My WoodMaxx snow blower manual warns not to over grease the bearings (only using 1-2 pumps of grease rather than pumping until fresh grease is visible.)
