Best Deal on cordless grease gun ?

[AndrewMawson]

In the market for a cordless grease gun - I know it's been discussed before and seem to remember that the Milwaukee 18v one was well thought of. I'd need the full shebang as I have no other Milwaukee kit - so battery, charger, and preferably a case.

So has anyone spotted any bargains that I need to know about !

All much of a muchness. If your already in a battery eco system go for that version.

I have the M18 Milwaukee it's good but not as good as I thought it would be. Main issue is the cartridges slide inside the tube which results in having to strip it down to get out, also no handy way of knowing it's out of grease.
Looking back probably would be the 12v version instead

At the moment mine is working great and you don't get covered in grease

Don't have any problems getting the tube out on mine? If your struggling maybe a pair of pilers no need to fully strip it.

You can tell its empty as the tone changes

I got the Makita version, it's still in the box, when you have a gun in each machine you get too lazy to go get the battery one

My jcb grease disappears down the tub, the top of the cartridge end ups a good 10mm plus down from the top

Got one of those couple year back not quite as neat and tidy as some but it works well had no issues with mine at all.

 

[AndrewMawson]

Well I took the plunge and bought the Milwaukee 18 volt offering - complete kit with battery, charger and soft carry case as I have no other Milwaukee stuff.

Charged the battery, stuffed a JCB grease tube in it, primed it and did precisely one grease nipple just to prove it works. Certainly seems to.

Next issue, this 3CX Project 8 that I’m bringing back into service has obviously been greased regularly up to a few years ago, but I don’t think it’s seen anything recently. Fair old buildup of throughly cemented grease / dust buildup round all the pins which I’d really like to clean off. My first reaction was to steam clean it, but when I did that with my Project 7 a few years back it was the start of significant rusting so I’m being a bit cautious this time.

Presumably the steam takes off the thin oil layer that’s stopping the rust, so perhaps a steam clean followed by a spray of ‘something’, but what? If it was bare steel I’d use Shell Ensis but that leaves everything sticky for quite a while.

Waxoyl if you really want to

 

[AndrewMawson]

I've decided on Lanoguard - seems more durable as far as staying on and yet more benign than Waxoyl.
