Any recommendations for a decent battery grease gun ?

[Vinpetrol]

Anyone using battery grease guns ? What’s working well without air locking all the time ?
one would be handy for greasing drivetrain and steering . I want to be able to hold head on nipple with a bit of force and pull the trigger at the same time

Milwaukee then of course you start on a very slippery slope ....plenty more tools to go at in their range!

People love the MILWAUKEE 18v one. Personally I’m waiting for the makita one to be released in UK as my other kit is Makita but admittedly been waiting over a year now. Covid delayed the release.

I have a Snap-on one that i'm very happy with.

Can you charge it from 12v so I could do it in the van ?
thanks a million for the pins by the way !

Yeah it's kinda been covered before. It's nearly as divisive as digger paint colour

Ah they got there then!

Yes you used to be able to get a 12v charger too, not sure about now, I use an invertor now.

That’s my next question

That’s probably a good idea in the van . Could use it for the Makita as well . Is there much power required for charging the batteries ?

I have everything dewalt, 18v xr and flexvolt like 32 separate pieces and I hate my dewalt grease gun, air locks all the time.

dad has Milwaukee one and it works great but been back on the Fuchs 500g manual one for a while

i have the dewalt one, probably doesn't get used as much as yours once a week but never really had any issues.

It's a case of whatever battery system you have stick with it! DeWalt raced ahead of the competition with their 54v range which is amazing. The big 300mm chopsaw is more powerful on battery than mains.

You can get battery converters between most mainstream makes of 18v tools. I run makita batteries in a Milwaukee impact driver.

I have the makita drill attachment which works well. Might try the Milwaukee one though.

link to which @craig ? ... battery converters or the Makita drill mount gun ?
been trying to decide whether to buy a drill mount or not .. can get round my stuff pretty quick with me Alemites, but the one handed ability'd be handy in some locations and have found some well priced Makitas

The battery converts, I`m all makita, but sometimes some other brands certain tools look better, different batteries and chargers put me off trying them, a converter could be an answer.
