Source for *Quality* Grease Gun?

[38Chevy454]

I have several grease guns that I seem to spend 25 times as much time screwing around with to make them work than actually using.

The problem is they lose suction or feed to the piston. Pump the handle and nothing comes out. I loosen the air bleed, check the spring is making pressure on the piston, etc. I think I am cursed with grease guns that are all POS's.

Is there some trick that I can be enlightened? Or a source for a good high quality one that will stay hanging on the wall for extended periods of time and then works like it is supposed to when needed?

Get a quality grease gun. all my lincolns seem to have worked for years. When we get a new craftsman/HF/no name gun for the shop sometimes they don't even work correctly out of the box, sometimes they work for a month.

I had the same problem and finally found some USA Lincolns here in classifieds and they are great.

Does anyone have a snap on grease gun? Or is it just a sticker that they put on some other brands tool?
