milwaukee grease gun

[47chevy COE]

I just noticed that Milwaukee has cordless 18 volt grease guns. Our shop has been using Lincoln 14.4 has anyone used both and compared them? I have Milwaukee batteries and kinda want to try one but can't find alot out about them. Thanks in advance.

If it is as good as the m12 gun it should be awesome. I use mine on my semi with the 35plus fittings and it barely uses 1 bar on battery gauge. Usually go through 2 tubes.

How is it with priming/staying primed? We've got like 4 guns at the shop between zerk, right angle zerk, and different needles, and it seems like I can barely keep one working, let alone the one with the end I need.

I've been thinking about it anyway, it would really come in handy on larger ball joints and stuff that come dry.

The only time I have priming problems is if I don't change the cartridge as soon as I can tell it's empty. Not a big deal, loosen the hex plug and pull the trigger for a few seconds. every gun I have ever used was like that though.
Even though my M12 has been flawless, the M18 version sounds very tempting. Maybe I will hint for my bday or Christmas to my wife.

that thing looks badass I run the lincoln 14.4 and it has been a great gun for 5 yrs or so, i just bought a new battery for it and it runs as good as new. I was looking at the m12 gun for when the lincoln wears out but would rather have the m18 now that I know it exist.

I was going to ask why, but instead I'll just say I'll buy your M12 when you get the new one.

I always tell my wife I will sell the old tool when I get the new one. Yeah right, I have only sold one item and that was my SO road box and my buddy really needed it.
