Good grease gun?

[99-02nut]

I have several Lincoln/SKF grease guns and they are worth the price premium over the cheap ones.

The 1134 is my preferred model, but they also make lever type.*

*Never have understood the appeal of the lever type guns unless maybe you have a third hand to keep the nozzle on the zerk?

BTW so far this thing is an awesome investment. Works great so far. Been greasing things like a mad man, it is so easy to use now. Used to hate greasing stuff.

What type of grease you use also has an effect on how much it leaks. I notice more sweat from red grease vs a thick moly lithium grease for example. This will also vary some brand of brand.

Y'all with your fancy grease guns are wild. I just go grab the cheapie pistol grip jobber from Rural King.

Speaking of greases, what’s good for our suspensions?

I’ve been using this: https://www.amazon.com/Valvoline-SynPower-Synthetic-Automotive-Grease/dp/B000CQ4DK0

Thoughts?

I use Lucas RedNTacky for the splines on the slip yoke.

I use red anywhere I expect to see water - slip yokes are a good example. Moly lithium most other places such as ball joints, wheel bearings, etc. Cheap grease anywhere frequently serviced, anywhere I apply by hand such as when used for an anti-corrosive, to lube seals as an assembly aid, etc. At the end of the day, any grease is better than no fresh grease.

My Alemite guns are 30+ years old and always work. They sweat and drip a little if stored too hot such as back of truck with shell in summer. I have a bucket with funnel,cartridges, and different tips for 3 guns.

I have to agree that Alemite makes quality products and customer service is exceptional.

grabbed one of these a couple weeks back, mostly because i had some needle zerks that require one hand pushing on it, cant pump with other single hand. have only used it with needle tip but so far so good. a little tip leakage
