For just a few bucks more, you can get a DeWalt battery powered grease gun. 20v.
I got one a couple of years back, and wished I had gotten it 10 years back (if it was available).

For around $229 you can get the Dewalt 20v grease gun. Believe me, once you use one, you'll wonder why you didn't buy it sooner.

They should make one that looks like this...

I just bought another grease gun; I wanted a quality lever gun as they put out more grease per pump.

I bought a Milton brand; it was priced reasonable and works VERY good.

LockNLube has several grease guns: Grease Guns

I prefer a lever gun with a hose. Mine is a different brand, with a 4' hose and a LockNLube coupler:

Also have an 18v Lincoln:

personally i dont like cordless grease guns as i think they put out too much grease. most people i know overgrease their stuff, and just create a mess. i just use a pistol grim model with a lock n load tip. way cheaper than the one linked above. I mean i guess if i was doing a fleet of tractors or used it daily in construction, i may think differently.

Grease, grease guns, and best tips are very popular topics on TBN. Moderators should try to consolidate them since I have seen an uncountable number of threads over the years.

Here goes. I like the lock on tip of the LockNLube Easy-Prime Grease Gun but I hate dealing with cartridges ( way too expensive per tube) and the mess since some always squeezes by the plunger and the waste since some always squeezes by the plunger. They also leak oil that separates out of the grease from the plunger entrance and the screw on body. How many people have put away a plunger gun with plunger pulled out and locked and come back to find plunger pushing grease or separated oil out of the gun?

I use a foot operated operated 2 gallon grease bucket ( see pic ) with a 10 foot hose and locknlube tip. Grease doesn't get wasted and is much cheaper ( 50% ? ) by the 5 gallon pail. Set the pail down and grease every nipple 4-5 feet to your right and 4-5 feet to your left. Foot pump generates much higher pressures ( 10,000 psi ) than the hand operated guns and same pressure as Dewalt's battery powered grease gun. Great for pushing out old cranky grease from backhoe stabilizer pads.

I have a bucket full of hand cartridge pumps that haven't been used since I bought the grease bucket.

That's my rant.

I added the lock-n-lube lock on fitting and I also bought the right angle lock-n-lube fitting for it.

Dewalt 20v with the lock and lube is the way to go.

Why Dewalt? If someone is already invested in batteries from say Milwaukee, Ryobi, Kobalt, or any other manufacturer that offers a cordless grease gun, why not go with them.

I'm heavily invested in Rigid 18V and Milwaukee 12V so I went with a set of Milwaukee 12 volt greasers and they work just fine.

In this video

he says the gun will pump air to create a vacuum. My old grease gun when it gets air pocket will not pump! also can tell how much grease you have left. Will the battery grease guns pump out air?

This ^
I have one kit in 3 of my tractors behind seat with battery and a couple grease cartridges.
They barely ever need charging with a 4 or 5 amp hour battery.

LNL has become 'extremely proud' of their products.

Cordless grease guns are like mouthwash, basically all the same so whatever platform you already use, purchase that.

Me, I'm heavily invested in HF Bauer so I just bought the Bauer 20 volt grease gun on sale, under 100 clams. Works for me just peachy.

I see Ryobi just introduced a new cordless greaser, looks nice and looks lightweight too. One of the drawbacks of them is the weight.
