Lets Talk Grease Guns

Ben:
I am sick to death of crappy grease guns. Even ones I've paid $40 for are aggravating me as much as the cheapo Harbor Freight one. I use several around the farm. At this point money is no object for at least one high quality grease gun.

Any suggestions? Are lever guns better than pistol grip? I only have had pistol grips and measure grease quantity that way. For instance, I was schooled on my one ag pump that I put five squirts in each zerk every time I run it, but that was with a pistol grip. Do the lever ones put out significantly more quantity per stroke? Easy to load without grease oozing out everywhere is a plus as well.

Recommendations appreciated.

This might be the bet you can get for a manual grease gun. Lever usually gets you more pressure, but require two hands to pump, sometimes making it hard to get the zerk in straight,

I had a similar thought ... and regret it's not about a submachine gun ......  [popcorn]

I have an old made in the U S of A lever type with a locking grease zerk fitting that has probably provided 50 years of trouble free service. Probably can’t buy anything like it now…
