Grease gun recommendations

[heritage machining]

Ok so my mate has just bought a brand new SANY 1.9 Ton and was asking me about what grease gun to get which got me thinking what do others use I have a sealey cartridge one pistol grip that I usually use I also have lots of the little Wanner type ones but I find them messy to use. What do you use any recommendations

You`ve started something now,
I generally use Mato ones with lube shuttle cartridges,

And a 2 hand one but with a G coupler,

the little Wanner ones are nice to use .. but as said - MESSY!!
Alemite for a manual .. nothing else cuts it (or CAT branded Alemite) - got two ... hassle free ... and a G coupler

This one.

Solid hose and standard chuck do fine for me.
A 1.9t should take all of 2 mins to grease.

It would take you longer to charge the battery than grease the bloody thing

Milwaukee one was cheap enough. I lost my dewalt battery adaptor for mine at the weekend and had to use the old grease gun. Machine gets greased better with cordless tool IMHO as it’s more fun

Fuchs now come in the toolbox on new Hitachi's. I tried one but couldn't get it to work. Then pushed the plunger down and everything exploded so it got thrown in the workshop whilst I got my alemite from the truck.

Makita battery grease gun is by far the best battery gun on the UK market if he wants to go down that route. Milwaukee is slower but if he already has batteries then they are also reliable.

I run dewalt but was warned off the grease gun.
