Milwaukee M18 grease gun, vs the big stuff

[Hammell]

I own a few Milwaukee products, and im more than happy with them, Fuel 1/4 impact driver helped make many projects including my kids tree fort. The Fuel hammer drill works great, and the big old Fuel 3/4 impact, my favorite.

I am looking at the M18 grease gun, I was wondering what you fellas think of it and how well it would work on heavy equipment, not cars and lawnmower applications. I would run it hard, using it to tighten tracks (tensioners) on large excavators and dozers. Some pins are hard taking too. Thanks.

I've used the M18 grease gun for the past year, working on heavy trucks. It's awesome, has good pressure and easy to use and clean. Grease hose is a good length too. My only complain with it is; I wish the light was a little brighter.

I have a 450J dozer and a ZX270 excavator and it's all I use. It's better than a hand gun.

I personally have DeWalt. But I hear a lot of good things about the M18 stuff. If it's comparable to my DeWalt 18v grease gun it should be great. Mine blows away the Lincoln 14.4v grease gun. It rarely has trouble even with hard taking fittings. It makes me want to leave my pistol grip Lincoln in the box or in the truck.

I have both the m12 and m18 grease guns as well as an air operated Lincoln bulk greaser. I use them for tractor trailers and heavy equipment.

I use the Lincoln the majority of the time. It is the fastest and most powerful.

The m18 I have used once. It is almost as fast as the Lincoln and seems to be about just as strong.

The m12 is the slowest and won't have enough power if the fitting is jammed up or tight. That being said I have used it in 5 degree weather last winter with no problems.

I would not hesitate to buy either of the Milwaukee products again.

I manage a fleet of tractors, bobcats and a ton of golf maintenance equipment (riding and walking mowers, utility vehicles and small landscaping equipment) and I use my M12 all damn day. Never had an issue, if my zerks were jammed I used a zero rejuvenator and all was well....

I have the m18 grease gun. It has worked very good for me on heavy trucks and equipment, farm machinery. It is very powerful and seems like it's holding up well

same here , really shines with the amount of pump setting and hi/lo. If you ever do wheel bearings it can fill the inner void between the bearings and pack the bearings if you have a grease zert on the end of the axle . I did a triple axle car hauler the other day and some bearings were trashed , i packed the first few then installed the rest semi dry and packed them with grease by just cranking the gun up to 50 pumps per pull. It packed them perfectly. I have used a lincoln and the m18 with light, longer hose and warranty is AMAZING.

My M18 grease gun works flawlessly. A real time saver on our farm.
