After going through several cheap grease guns in the past few years, I’d like to buy a good quality grease gun that will last. I’m planning to buy a full size, pistol grip type with flexible hose. Does anyone know if any of these brands are better than others? Looked at Plews, lubrimatic and...

I’ve finally decided on which lift to get. The prices on the Bendpak lift are the same regardless of whether i buy it direct or through one of the dealers and it seems that all of them use the same local installer. Seems like I should just buy it direct. Am i missing something?
