Grease gun

Well I did my last lube job with a conventional grease gun. I have looked at the battery operated ones but as often as I would use it the batteries would make it uneconomical. What I decided on is the Lincoln 120 volt unit. Anyone have any experience with one? Any greasing is done by the barn so power is always available. I tried to grow a third arm but that didn't work. I also have a one handed grease gun but it's to slow and the pressure is not there.

Thanks Marvin, nice to know that. Maybe it will work okay.

Yeah Brian, that's how this HF works.

I have a pneumatic grease gun. You have to keep triggering it to get it to grease.

I just bought a cheap HF pneumatic grease gun this last weekend. Figured I'd give it a shot, HAR, and see how it does. I figure to use it on suspension components on the trucks and trailer, but not the hubs on the toyhauler. I have no desire to pump grease past the seals.

Of course knowing the quality of HF products, it may not have enough oomph to make it past the seals. ๐Ÿ™‚ For $15 I figure what the heck. I'm not out that much if/when it doesn't work.

I just bought a nice hand pump one this past weekend. It is soooo much better than the two cheapies I've owned before. I just did a job that 3 tubes,not a problem or tired at all.

Nope, no more lever guns. If 7500 psi can't do it then it's time to fix the issue.

I have a Milwaukee cordless, it's great but pretty spendy.

I would buy a good Alimite 10,000PSI grease gun for $40 and be done with it. It's one of the best grease guns on the market. Might want to also get a longer grease hose so you can leave the grease gun on the ground (easier to use one-handed that way). How many strokes does it take to grease your MH? It isn't worth running the electrical cord around under the MH. To grease my track rig below it takes a half of tube each day I'm running it in the mud.
