grease guns

[contactme_11]

I'm in a market for a new one. Haven't bought one in forever. So which ones do you guys prefer and why?

I guess I'd still say Lincoln.
Up until a few short years ago I would have said Lincoln, hands down.
It's probably still very good stuff, still easy to find in any real parts store, probably works just fine...................but it's not the same Lincoln I knew.
sniff,sniff (I'll be ok...).

I'm sure there are quite a few good grease guns/equipment out there. I haven't kept up with the stuff lately. Cordless and compact air powered seem very popular nowadays though.

I bought one from NAPA for $50 or $60 and it could be a Lincoln based on the price. Read the directions and made sure I have the correct air pressure.

i use a rechargeable battery powered grease gun LINCOLN brand.

air operated. why? b/c it's a lot easier to pull a trigger with one finger than use a pump with two hands when you're crawling under/around vehicles. (cordless would be even better)

from harbor freight. why? b/c it does it's job just fine, for ~$20. it pushes grease. I'm not sure how one could improve it.

for a good old fashioned lever type gun, i had an alemite for years <until it grew legs>
lincoln also has a good gun
the couple of air operated guns ive had were lincolns.

I just recently bought an IR pistol grip, previously used a HF air one that I was never happy with.

Stay away from Plews, hate mine

I got a bluepoint air, and not happy with it, it blew a o ring and I have hardly used it.

I have a generic lever action grease gun but will replace it with a pistol grip one (much easier to operate one handed) YMMV.

I have the cheapo HF pneumatic one, it works fine for the amount I use it. If I was running a service shop and using it all the time, then the Lincoln battery op unit, for sure.
