New Grease Gun

[AutoMechanic]

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.

Thanks for the tip. I don’t have too many battery powered things as I am kinda old school and like air lol. I’ll have to try that out. The whole lithium ion thing is pretty new to me.

I have somewhat of the same model, just the pistol grip style with the lock n lube fitting. It’s awesome although it made a few zerks inaccessible.

Dad and I also share a Dewalt battery powered model. It’s very handy to just squeeze the trigger and go.

Mine is from Lock n Lube and works well. It's a pistol grip design.

I'm partial to the Ablox Wanner grease guns.

wise choice...the lever lincolns are very solid. even better if you have a longer hose made for it

I have a 20v Dewalt that I use for the Caterpillar, I carry the Lincoln heavy duty pistol grip gun and an alemite pistol grip gun on the truck. I also have a few cheapies loaded with stuff I rarely use. I also have a Lincoln pneumatic at work that is my go to. I didn’t want to abuse my personal batteries like that as I can blow through several tubes in a shift. The shop has air in my service pit and I have an arm that swings over the pit with air, electrical and a led light. The pneumatic gun never dies. Any more that I buy for myself will be Alemite. The feel of them blows Lincoln away.

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.

I bought this one last August to lubricate the new Metal Cloak suspension upgrades I installed. Best grease gun I have ever owned hands down. It has a connector on it that is lockable so the grease goes into the zerk instead of all around it. I loaded it with Mystik JT-6 moly grease and have been all smiles ever since.

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

It's the Mobil1 grease more than likely. I use Mystik JT-6 without a drop leaking. Mobil1 leaked all the time

Yes, not the gun’s fault necessarily. Mobile 1 Synthetic tends to leak more than most greases. Good or bad.

absolutely. M1 turns drips out in my cold basement 10x more than other greases in my hot shed.

supposedly a very good grease for lubication but I cant deal with the mess.
