Good grease gun under $50

[Dynasty]

Do you have a favorite grease gun under $50? I have been using a cheap Harbor Freight one, but would like something better quality. Primary use will be greasing off road UTVs and lawn care machines. Thank you.

For whatever reason, I have had the worst of the worst luck with manual grease guns. First tube goes through fine. Any subsequent tubes never work. This is not good when I'm greasing my construction machines.

I made the move to the Dewalt 20v grease gun and have never looked back. Pricey, far cry from $50, but zero effort!

I have 4 in the barn for different equipment, all are the Lincoln 1134. I got clear barrels for a couple to see what is inside, but they are solid.

What little I do gets done with a Harbor Freight Pneumatic grease gun.

Same here my manual grease gun is a Cat one off the rack in our showroom/parts counter. You can get them either lever or pistol grip.

I have one of these. I've had it for a few years and never any issues.

I like manual grease guns better than milwaukee or lincoln battery powered ones. I am still looking for a good manual grease gun.

I'm sure the CAT one is good. If that is hard to find, I like the Lincoln.

Lincoln for me. Never had a problem either.

I have a Lincoln. Grandpa gave it to me when I started driving to keep up Maintainence on my truck. It was old when he gave it to me near 30 years ago. Not sure of the model

I did add a Lock-n-Lube connector to it. That saves a lot of cussing.

The last ones I bought were Lincoln pistol grips, and no problems.

I bought a German-made pistol grip Umeta grease gun from MSC back in the summer for $48.00. I like it a lot. Just noticed, MSC has since doubled the price to $107....bummer. They still list the Umeta lever guns for under $60.

I need to thin the herd for some new ones too
I need or 4. I like a lever and a pistol, one each for red stuff and sticky black bear ****.

Last one I got was an unused Alemite on ebay. That’s the way to go. Something like $25. USA made.

That would be a lever gun or a very old NOS gun. There isn't any pistol grip grease guns currently being made in the States.

Yes, the packaging was old. There were several to choose from, most had seen some use but this one hadn’t.

Alemite 555.

Surprising build quality for the $$$

What about this Macnaught? Supposedly not made in China. Currently about $45 and good reviews. I have no experience with it but have been considering it.

Ive had a lock n lube for a year or so and other than struggling to get it primed, it seems to work ok. The bulk loader port leaks a little oil and lock n lube said they would replace it but I never followed through.

It looks like they have made some updates. It now has a bleeder port.

I just have a manual one from Tractor Supply but it isn’t that good. I use my battery powered Flexzilla from Tractor Supply it works awesome it was on sale for $99 when I got it.
