Decent quality grease gun?

Diggin It · Oct 14, 2018

Thread might be better placed ion the Tools section.

How does LnL differ from the regular tips? I don't see much difference in the pictures on their site.

I have a couple from HF that work fine and a couple of older ones from who knows where. One of those is plugged up and I need to find a way to dissolve whatever is in the metal tube ... maybe mineral spirits?

All my battery tools are Ryobi and I haven't found a grease gun from them yet.

SKF Lincoln 5900 PowerLock coupler is similar design as lock n lube and cost less

Well the grease gun was what I was referencing. It takes screw in cartridges versus standard grease cartridges. A lot less mess.

The video he's using to sell it,

, shows extreme incompetency in getting the old tube out of the gun. Seems a lot of profit motive involved.

What Tools section?
Do you mean Parts & Repairs? Oil, Fuel & Lubricants?

Implication is that it requires a unique-to-the-brand grease cartridge ? They go out of business next year and then what ? I'm not biting on that one. The lever operated tip looks like a ruggedized Lock-N-Lube. Works the same way ?

All good points!! The tubes are refillable. And the tip style is the same clam shell clamp as the other brands. We sure like it!

Same. I have more Ryobi than you can shake a stick at. But they dont make a grease gun. Submitted a few requests over the years but still nothing.

I ended up getting a Dewalt. It works well with that 3' flex hose on it & the variable speed cordless is nice. Not sure if I like the longer LnL XL I got over the normal LnL, but it's better than the standard couplers.

For a single hand operated grease gun I will ad a vote for the John Deere Heavy Duty Pistol Grip Grease Gun TY26689 for $35.99 at greenfarmparts.com. It has a pressure and volume setting and is probably the same one mentioned in posts 13 and 16.
