Grease Gun Recommendations

[lilranch2001]

Unless you are using a powered caulking gun for massive panel adhesive projects, I do not understand the need, or even the want of one.

I do not see how anyone could ever do a professional caulk job with one.

I have an air powered calking gun that I even forgot I own. Maybe when using cheap calking guns, I thought it was a good idea. Using good quality guns and especially a sausage gun, I can't see the need for power dispensing. Heck, even my Glazier friend that does hi rise towers doesn't use one. You really wouldn't want the extra weight either. The alluminum sausage guns weigh very little.

It helps me to do a better job, I also have the manual one. My only complaint is if the caulk is going bad it will make a huge mess inside the piston before you know it.

I bought the Ryobi caulk gun when I built my shop several years ago. I used it for about an hour and decided a manual caulk gun was less trouble and much lighter. I returned it.

That's my opinion on battery grease guns.

I have stuck with manual grease guns too. I have one with the flexible hose and lever and one with the rigid pipe and pistol grip. I use the the rigid pipe and pistol grip for everything on my tractor and most fittings on other equipment. I need the flexible hose gun for one fitting on my lawnmower and a couple of fittings on one off my trucks.

I have the m12 grease gun and if it died today I would get it again tomorrow or m18. I use it on my dozer, bobcats, and trailers. I dont use it ever day or even every week, but monthly. And when I do i need the psi to do it. and hand cranking it doesnt have the psi i need.

If my lever gun ever needs replacing, this is what I will get: Professional Series Lever Grease Gun - LOCKNLUBE

It rates at 10K lbs and 25 pumps per oz while the Alemite 1056 rates the same on the high pressure setting. On the high volume setting the 1056 only needs 16 pumps per oz.

I'm in the market for a quality grease gun for both my tractor and mini skid steer. Have a couple off the wall junk grease guns that are great door stoppers. I will be greasing each machine maybe three or four times per year. Prefer a pistol grip manual pump with a flex hose.

How do these models compare to each other: LockNLube LNL252 or LockNLube LNL153? Is the quality difference better with the more expensive 252 model? What is the extra $20 getting me?? Or will the 153 work just as good for my needs?

just realize the lock n lube is a bit larger, that said I just got it, and haven't found a zerk yet it doesn't fit, that said if its not straight you will have grease coming out the sides, so i keep a manual for that, i went air for my grease gun, i only paid 40 and my stuff is always near a compressor, its nice to just use one hand to do everything and leave the grease gun on the ground.

I have one Joe. As well as a Milwaukee. I like them both a lot. I'll never pump again. The real test is if they will pump out your track tensioners.

Milwaukee here, works great. Did the full round at my Dad’s place last summer with his normal hand pump gun....man have I been spoiled.
