Cordless grease gun?

[BillyP]

After looking at the Lincoln cordless, I went and ordered one /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

$161.76 w/shipping

After doing a search, the only cordless one I find is the Lincoln. Are there any that are cheaper that are battery powered?

None that I am aware of.

The Deere is even more money at $209.00 at your local dealer. Unless the parts guy gives you a deal.

AndyM, here is another cordless grease gun for comparison, the Alemite. The specks are a little better than the Lincoln and it has a few more features if you want to spend only about a hundred more. /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Any 12-volt grease gun with a cigarette-lighter-plug-in (or battery clamps) ? /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif

Could the Lincoln cordless gun be rigged to operate like this ?

Would be nice to eliminate the gun's own battery... reduce cost & weight & battery replacement...


Thanks...

Dave...

Having a power cord to hook up and then drag around would, for me, defeat the purpose of the cordless grease gun. The whole idea of a cordless grease gun is portability and convenience.

Tehy sort of look like the Dewalt batteries will work. On the battery life, based on my experience the average cordless tool battery life is about 3 years with 5 being the longest I have had one survive. It seems that most times when the battery quits the replacement is no longer available and I have to buy a whole new drill or whatever /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif

I have a old grease gun that has the rigid stem. I have to apply a fare amount of pressure on the fitting while using it. Do the guns with the flexible hose require the use of one hand to hold the hose tight to the fitting while the other hand controls the grease trigger? If so it sounds like the rigid stem guns would be a lot easier to use. Am I missing something /forums/images/graemlins/crazy.gif
