Grease Gun Recommendations

I would go with what battery system you already have.

Not sure why project farm bothers to measure grease flow at no pressure.

Funny how the most expensive has no provision for standing up gun out of the dirt or storing tip.

I have a Dynalube, bought 1/2 price at TSC. It has a plastic sleeve for storing the tip. Very nice feature. But not a stand for the gun.

BOLTR does a good review on the Milwaukee.

Yes choose grease gun by what battery one has, it can be hard to stay with one brand when another brand makes a tool that Dewalt or Milwaukee dont have so I try to stay under 2 brands.......

What I liked about Milwaukee was the 2 speed, what I dont like about my Dewalt is the pressure relief valve, if grease zerk binds then grease comes out of it and makes a big mess, how about just stop greasing when 10k psi is reached......

Anyone try the new Ryobi grease gun?
I've got a few of their tools and batteries so I've been considering getting the grease gun, though I manage ok with a manual one as I'm not greasing every day like serious operators...

I would say that going w/ Ryobi is a bit of a gamble - long term. One can never have enough angle grinders when welding projects are in full swing, so I picked up a cheaply priced Ryobi grinder to suplement my Milwaukee's that I already had. I probably got about 1.5 hours out of it spaced out over the next few mo. before it died abruptly... Like I said, it's a gamble going w/ Ryobi (imho); price point is attractive at Home Depot - that is for sure. I don't see why angle grinder quality would be any different from grease guns; cross your fingers when you buy...

Ryobi makes light duty tools. You can't "lean" on many grinders out there without letting the smoke out btw. Certainly not the "light duty" ones, sub 7A. Want to lean on a grinder get a Makita rat tail.

If you don't beat on it I don't see the ryobi gun giving any issues. if you own a heavy equipment fleet in Alaska then sure, get the Milwaukee.

If you have to have a battery grease gun check this out: Best Battery Grease Gun Brand? Let's find out! - YouTube

As for grinders I have a Bosch light duty that has been through a LOT of hard hours, many that should have been on the big 8" heavy duty grinder, but smaller and lighter wins most times. Replaced the cord on it 4 times that I can remember and it still is going strong, longevity is directly related to quality and that is directly related to cost.

Time for me to get one as I already have the following Milwaukee M18 tools;

Hammer Drill
1\2 inch impact
portable skill saw
band Saw
ratchet wrench
portable stand light and charger
various attachments
hardware cases
gaws-all

Wish list
grease gun
caulking gun
and someday pipe crimping set

Wow, so far on my wish list I have added the M18 caulk gun, and M12 Pipe pro press crimper and many more. Still waiting on the grease gun but I do own the locknlube already.
