Battery grease gun recommendations

[crsutton81]

I'm considering purchasing a cordless grease gun to use here on the farm. What is a good brand to get and why ? Milwaukee, Lincoln, something else ? I'm currently have an assortment of cordless power tools, so batteries will probably not be an issue.

(quoted from post at 19:52:18 12/01/22) I'm considering purchasing a cordless grease gun to use here on the farm. What is a good brand to get and why ? Milwaukee, Lincoln, something else ? I'm currently have an assortment of cordless power tools, so batteries will probably not be an issue.

I have an air grease gun that is a Lincoln. Good product but anything battery powered its Milwaukee for me. Absolute premium quality in my opinion.

I have read on here before that the Lincolns are overrated. At work we have two 12v Milwaukee's, overall no complaints in 7 years. I have had to clean the pump housings twice from the guys letting dirt get in while changing out a tube. This dirt would prevent the valve/check ball from sealing and building pressure.

I just bought a DeWalt.

Local farm store had both Milwaukee and Dewalt on sale for $100 off (same price).

Having neither brand battery powered tools, I bought the Dewalt because it came with a 4 AH battery whereas the Milwaukee battery was 1.5 AH.

Looks like the 4.5 battery powered angle grinder that I plan to buy will be a Dewalt.

My Dewalt has been good to me. Already had other Dewalt, so easy to stick with the same flavor.

I second the Dewalt. Had manual guns for years. Bought a backhoe off a guy and he asked me if I had a battery powered grease gun. I said no. He smiled and said after hitting all the grease zerks on this thing before you use it each time-youll want one. He was right. Takes a tube and a half if I do it right. I bought the dewalt and its been good for the last 3 years. Also bought one of those lock and lubes they work good as well but adds some gerth to tight areas

I have a Milwaukee at home, and we have a Dewalt at work. I like the Milwaukee better. Don't like the bleeder or the relief on the Dewalt.

I have a dewalt but most of my cordless tools are dewalt so always have batterys charged when needed. I had a Lincoln before that and the motor smoked on it greasing a combine and was not real impressed with them. the plus on the dewalt is the light were they have it helps.

Did you know you can buy an adapter to use a 20v dewalt battery on most popular brands.

I don't think Lincoln is considered a popular tool and may only be 12v.

So buy a bare 18-20v grease gun and an adapter to use 20v dewalt battery
Then buy a new end that will hold on to the grease zerk.
I forgot what the end is called.

Milwaukee or Dewalt would be my choice.

My brother bought a Milwaukee last spring. IT works good and I got some fittings to take grease that would not with a regular hand gun. Though I use a hand gun most of the time. Lever or pistol type. Don't have much like for batteries on tolls just don't last and always dead when I want to use them.

I have a Dewalt grease gun. I consider it to be a blessing and a curse in one tool. It is heavy to the point they sell it with a shoulder strap. I have a Landpride rotary with several grease zerks. For that the battery powered grease gun is great. If I only have a few zerks the Dewalt is to heavy to be worth using.

I have a Milwaukee 12V that I like and woks just fine. Ive sold all the major brands of tools. I prefer Milwaukee, too each their own.

I have had a DeWalt for a couple years. Works great.

I have a Bauer from Harbor Freight that seems to work good. Got it because I already have the batteries.

Have had a Dewalt 20v for a couple few years now. Pump a tube to 4 tubes a day at my construction job. Its heavy, has a long hose and will pump quite a bit of grease on one 4 amp hour battery. Would never want to be without it again.

Ace Hardware has the m18 grease gun kit on sale for $199 online. Pick up in store. Gun, battery, charger and soft case. I was going to get the m12 version but this is too good a deal to pass up.

Bought a Milwaukee M18 version a few years back, no complaints.
Loads and primes easy, you can set how many pumps of grease you get, decent length hose.

Only one I've ever used, so can't compare.

I will say I'd wait and try it before putting a lock n lube coupler on it.
I've found I can hold the hose straight and tight on the zerk since I only need 1 hand to run the gun.
And while Lock n Lube's are great, they don't fit in the real tight spots
