Vevor 6000 psi air grease gun

I assuming this is what 5030 was talking about.View attachment 825877View attachment 825878

That is both of them but the price on the Oregon is way out of line.

So, for me, the lathe is strictly a toy. Not a tool that is fun, just a toy. I've made a coffee scoop, some misc pins, and turned 1.5" brass rods into curls of brass scrap... That's not saying a smarter person couldn't, or that it's not as capable as other 7x14s, just for Me, it's a toy. It's an expensive alternative to watching TV or YouTube for an hour or two .

Lincoln lever action. I have put hundreds of tubes through mine in the last 20yrs.

Like 5030, I try not to buy Chinese products; however, I don't have a currency tree (we do have a silver dollar tree though ) so I tend to find good deals with Vevor for some items. We are currently building a new house on our property that is "wheelchair" accessible (10x more hassle than "just" ADA) which has caused a few "budgetary" issues and forced us to find some less expensive alternatives. For example, we found a stovetop vent at Vevor for ~$200 that would have been $750+ anywhere else. A shower console (multi-headed, etc) for ~$100 as compared to ~$1,000 alternatives along with numerous other items. How long will these last? I really don't know, but I can say that if they work/last for a year or two I'll be in a better place to buy American to replace them. If, on the other hand, they last as long as other Vevor items I've purchased in the past (3 way welder, plasma cutter, hydraulic knock outs and others) I'll be very pleased and money ahead - I might even consider their solar well pump for the garden & pond!


Bottom line, I'd love to have nothing but Hobart equipment for welding & cutting, I'd love to have nothing but southbend, Bridgeport, or standard equipment in my shop but I can't justify spending as much on one machine as it would cost to have the capabilities of three different machines e.g., one metal lathe or a lathe, milling machine and welder for the same price

Just my two cents worth!

Agree Ozark. If i was the poweball winner, it would be a different story. I think for a lot of the stuff I've bought from them, it wasn't a US (or Germ/Jap) made vs Chinese decision; it was buying a Chinese vs not buying anything decision.

Couple other than I've been halfway interested in from them; they have some really heavy duty meat grinders/sausage staffers, for really cheap, that frankly are the same price but more powerfull than the generic homeowner ones you see at sporting goods stores.

I have the hole set of Ryobi cordless tools including the grease gun. It was reasonable when I bought it. I have 9 batteries and everything works great. I agree about the air hose and compressor.

Just a side note. About any grease fitting on a mower that needs this kind of pressure probably can be freed up with the propane torch. Especially that front axle pivot that never gets greased on most mowers. Warm it up and the standard gun will probably do it.

I have the HF version. Thought it was great, at first. Then, it became a problem, dragging out the hose, wrestling with the hose, and putting stuff away.

Still it was better than greasing by hand which for me was becoming a painful experience. And time consuming.

Bought a Dewalt 20v battery gun and much prefer it over the air powered gun. Greasing is almost a breeze now. Got the bare tool after shopping around a lot, as I already had other DeWalt battery tools. Don't remember what it cost.

So, a quick update on the grease gun. It works, I like the locking end. The air hose connect is kinda a pain with my hose end, especially with grease hands. Kinda have to bend the end while putting the air connect on, it sorta is pointed into the grip awkwardly. I'm sure I could get a swivel end, or something to make it easier.

air grease guns are junk I have one I will give you......bought a hercules battery powered. grease gun from harbor freight with a 5ah battery and the charger for $120 best money I ever spent. Between the tractor and my F550 dump and my stump grinder I have a lot of fittings to grease also have a locking connector and it works great.

 

[5030]

I'd really like to buy a Hougen Mag drill (Rota Broach) but the asking price is crazy high. I see Vevor makes a nice copy for about 1/3 the cost. May get one of them.

if the grease zerk was plugged take them out clean out hole and insert new zerk not jump on grease gun
Just saying

So that issue was resolved (another thread, CK2610 Front Pivot Bushing question), but the old grease gun broke regardless, so it had to be replaced. In the end, the air one was only a couple bucks over the price of a normal manual one.

I broke my old grease gun, trying to force the front axle pivot point to take grease, so I need a new gun. I know everyone js all about their 18V Milwakee and Dewalt cordless, but for a guy that greases every 10 hours, maybe 20 points per month, I'm not dropping $200+ to turn a 5 minute job into a 2 minute job. So, searching, the Vevir air grease gun is frankly not much more than a manual one ($37.99 direct or $39.99 on Amazon). My tractor is always parked at the shed, where my air compressor is, not doing mobile service work. Any thoughts either on this one is air grease guns in general?View attachment 825698

Sure, pneumatic grease guns work fine but that hose is a pain. I tried a Lincoln pneumatic GG for awhile but got tired of dragging that hose around and getting it stuck as I tried to position myself to lube all the zerts. I have 2 tractors, a baler, rake, bush hog, hay mower, manure spreader and tedder that require regular lube so the Dewalt cordless was a good choice. It works well and is fairly easy to maneuver. If I had so few grease points that a cordless wasn't worth the money I would just go with a manual GG.
