Cordless Grease Gun Storage

[DEWFPO]

I got my lube shuttle today for Christmas. No more messy grease for me.

What's a lube shuttle?

I have the Milwaukee 18v version and all I do is pull the battery, Wipe off the hose and stick it in it's holder and throw it on the shelf. Never oozes grease like my manual guns do.

I have both the Milwaukee 12v and 18 v and have the exact same experience. They never leak between uses.

Made by Air-Tec. Can Google either that or lube shuttle. They use a screw-in cartridge that does not use the leaky plunger nor require air bleeding with that messy loss of grease.

Best to order the gun directly from Air-Tec. Saves $10 off the Amazon price.

Can get single cartridges from JD if you don't want to order a case of 10.

i pull the battery, wipe it down and hang it on the wall by the strap provided. Seldom see a drop on the floor and wipe it up when needed.

Still uses the same pull plunger, which often leaks around the piston in storage.

I put my first cartridge into the lube shuttle gun. Just unscrewed the cap on the end and screwed it into the gun.

Mine most of the time just lays around in the back of the service truck. Non cared for. Never leaks. Though one time it got me back, tipped over onto a wedge like thing. Get out of the truck. Heard some kind of pump running from the back. Guess at least using the the off switch could be a good idea....

Mine also came with a hard case. I always figured each click of the gun was roughly equal to a pump.

I have the Milwaukee 18v gun. I keep it and zerks and tools in the hard plastic case. It never leaks.

I discovered LockNLube a few weeks ago. It turns greasing my equipment into a one-handed job.

I keep my Makita 18v in an old plastic tool box with a handle. I have an Aussie made Macnaught KY Plus Safety Grease Coupler on it from Amazon.
