There's a big "Manufactured in the USA" badge in the footer of the website.


However, there's no badge in that product's description. If you poke around a bit, most of their products carry an individual "USA" badge:

So absent any other info I'd have to guess it's made in a certain large far east communist nation...

I mean, a grease gun ain't exactly a jet engine, so it's probably a perfectly functional grease gun (other than it's the type that drools all over), but you can probably pick up the same thing for $15 or so at any auto parts store.

Or look elsewhere if you'd prefer a grease gun made in the USA.

This is the "best" thing I have found to cure the creeping grease syndrome. Works perfect!

I don't have things to grease that-often, so I use an elderly manual leever-action gun that takes the large cartridges.

One thing I do pay-attention to, is to grease my brakes well (attachment).

NOPE. Proprietary grease cartridges with almost no US distribution.

Great idea, though.

Good to know that these grease cartridges are proprietary. To be specific, this is the "lube-shuttle" or "lube shuttle" grease gun:

I'm guessing not many folks have used this model as I haven't found much else about it here on the forum.
