Humm... now I want to buy an electric grease gun....

That is genius!
Hook it to a foot pedal and your be made in the shade

And how is this different than an air grease gun? The air guns have been around for years. My air setup is just hook the grease gun up, pull the trigger and grease goes in. no mods needed. price out the Lincoln luber versus an air setup.

Well, the difference is.. You have the benefit of the pneumatic set up with out the hose needing to be dragged, or not being long enough. Total portability, easy enough you can almost do it with one hand.

Its just a modification to make things a little easier, Not saying its the greatest thing since sliced bread. But, it sure has made things just a little more efficient.

Thank you everyone for you kind comments!

Hector,

Watched some of your videos. The one documenting the zerk cleaning tool is pretty cool. Never seen those tools before. I am tempted to go find one now.

Thanks.

own 5 electric lincolns. best tool! they live in our service trucks as well as shop

I like that. Nice work!

Every time I pull out the Lincoln I spend the next ten minutes wiping all the grease that leaked while it was stored.
Other than that its a nice tool.
I would recommend a momentary switch in place of a toggle.
I can see the toggle slipping out of ones slippery hand in the on position.
good idea.

Take an old zerk, plug it with jb weld. And you can use that as a plug on your coupler while in storage.

It leaks from around the top of the cartridge. Very little from the coupler.

Ahh Yes ok understand now!

Yes, You will get that depending on the type of grease you use. The only way to combat that is use a higher quality grease, but that depends on what you are greasing also.

Never though about that! I'll be using that one!

I thought Mystic (red) was pretty darn good quality, any way, it happens with whatever grease is installed. Is there suppose to be a gasket there? (I never even thought of that). Its one of those tools I reach for a few times a year.

You know something, writing this reply got me thinking. I'm going to turn a piece of delrin with a light groove on the cartridge side to seal it better.

It really ***** when you open the nice blue plastic case only to find the recesses filled with oil.
No one else has this issue?
BTW Hector, your videos are informative.
Thanks
