JCB don’t make battery tools. They sold the branding rights to a guy who imports far east tat and sticks the name on them.

I used to have a JCB power planer about 20+ years ago. It wasn’t that bad actually

It baffles me why they would put their name to crap like that then I remember I have a JCB mini and it’s been pretty crap recently as well

Worst thing they ever did was sell the name to someone to stick on rubbish tools.. completely devalued them as a brand imo!

Used the new gun yesterday..glad I kept the strap..lobbed it over my shoulder and away I went. Pushed grease in easily on some of the stubborn nippels. The end was abit strange to get to fully grab the nipple, maybe a g coupler or the makita lock on version would improve it.

Overall, ideal thing for greasing everything all at once while it's in the yard.

I changed all mine for alemite gun heads and never had an issue . Why did you need the strap ?

I put it over my shoulder and it was easy peasy walking round greasing everything. I wasn't picking it up or putting down every 2 seconds, it literally made it easy for me. Especially when your greasing the grab lorry with the majority of nipples been above your head

Looks like he replaced the hose with something cobbled together.

It does say the Makita s have a recall on them as well. I definitely think it's something worth being mindfull of
