New Grease Gun

[kstanf150]

My son is now the owner of my old grease gun I’ve had for 30 years. So I bought a new one
It’s a Lincoln / SKF Brand
Made in India and Germany

Hopefully it lasts another 30 years!

Which model Lincoln is this? I need a new one myself.

As do I. I bought one from Harbor Freight, loaded a tube of Mobil 1 synthetic and it leaks like a sieve.

Nice. I gave up the manual grease gun for my battery powered one I will never go back.

I need a pistol (one hand) grip and pump myself.

Yeah I’m old school. I went with what I’ve used for over 40 years.
This Lincoln one I bought is a nice piece. Should last for years and years.
I’ll pass it on to my grandson

Can anyone recommend a NLGI 2 synthetic grease that won’t separate as bad as Mobil 1?

Speaking of grease I had a zerk go bad last fall on my John Deere lawn tractor (was an aftermarket part) anyway, went to parts store in town and the owner picked out the match, looked perfect..threw the old zerk in his garbage went home and the new zerk didn't fit..what a mess had to drive back buy 3 others, wasted hours.

Absolutely. Once you get one of those you will never go back to the manual one. Especially since my dad owns a 18 wheeler so every few weeks I grease his truck from front to back. Holds a change forever it seems. I charge the batteries about every other month.

I've been using Supertech's Lithium/Moly meets Toyota spec for spiders/U-joints..I use it everywhere.

Isn’t that kind of thing the worst?!? So frustrating!

Sold out on Amazon but contact sales and they will ship you one. This is the one others knock off inc other brand names making their products in India and China, it also uses a German made hose.

Helpful tip-- to get the most life out of the batteries, keep them around 50-60% capacity while in storage and charge before use if you can. Lithium ion batteries degrade much faster if kept at full charge. Difficult to do if there's no charge level indicator on them though.

I have a pneumatic gun which is a pain at times since you're tethered to an air line, but it works for me given 99% of my greasing is done in or near the garage. I'll have to look into one of those battery operated ones one day.
