Grease Guns - Who makes one worth a flip

[TwinWillows]

I have the Alemite 500-E Professional Lever Grease Gun (with Whip Hose) you showed the link to. It's a top line manual gun that's never failed to quickly de-air & put grease into any fitting I've tried. Bought it a long time ago & plan to keep it lots longer.

</font><font color="blue" class="small">( Does anyone have Lincoln Lubrication model # 1134? it has a pistol grip which looks like it would be easy to use with one hand. I have a pump type and it takes 2 hands to use one to hold the gun and the other to pump the handle. For $33 it will not break the bank. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif Any other suggestions, for a non battery, non-air grease gun?

I have this one. I love the pistol grip. The only trouble I'm having with it is the coupler doesn't work how I think it should. When I get it to fit on the zerk tight enough to push the grease in, it's then too tight to pull off the zerk. I'm constantly having to put it on the zerk, tighten the coupler, squirt the grease, then loosen the coupler to pull it of the zerk. And I can't just loosen it by hand, I have to use pliers. So either I'm doing something wrong, or the coupler isn't working right. I've never had to do that with any other grease gun I ever used. I think I'm going to change the coupler and see if that makes a difference.
