Cordless Grease Gun

Moonlite37 · May 2, 2022

I am debating a cordless grease gun and do not know which to buy a Milwaukee or DeWalt. I want to hear from those who have used both.

I have a Milwaukee 18 volt and am very happy. You will find yourself using more grease. Tom

I have neither of those.
My son bought a $400 grease gun and it failed very quickly.
He borrowed my Ryobi gun and likes it very much like I do.
Been very pleased with it.

Best gun out there is the old lever or pistol action Lincoln skip all those battery outfits. The batteries just don't hold up on these battery tools. I'm going back to cords. They always run and never get dead batteries in them. Just like the lever gun never a dead battery. A Lincoln gun has been the only one we could get to not leak by the plunger with bulk grease.

I have the Dewalt and have had no problems with it. I did add the Lock n Lube connector to it. Gets used daily during haying season.

I am your man we run two excavators and each have 20 + fittings on the booms. Anyone that does not have a battery operated gun for these task is a fool. Takes half the time and effort. I have a m18 Milwaukee on one machine and a two year old dewalt 20 volt on the other. I only went to Dewalt because we have several other Dewalt here at the farm. Just me but I prefer the Dewalt but the Milwaukee has done OK . It is probably because the Dewalt is newer but seems it goes longer on a charge. I guess if I were buying new I would get either one if I already had batteries but if starting anew just get the one with the best price. So far ahead of a hand gun .

We have a Dewalt which works great.

I agree with Tom down below--I have a Lincoln-bought 10-15 years ago-Son has a Milwaukee he bought a couple years ago--no comparison-his will pump circles around mine-10 years newer. But will his take the abuse? After I got my Lincoln I was combining corn with the Wife and had the wagons and the truck full and she wasn't back yet with an empty so I got my Milwaukee out of the truck and commenced to grease my Ol' 8820-saw her coming in the field so put the gun on top of the drive tire and crawled up and dumped the hopper of corn into the truck and started combing again--Found out the hard way a Lincoln will take getting run over by a 8820-It cracked all the plastic and pushed it into the ground but it still worked! DUH---Tee

lincoln is my top choice

We have a Snap On from a yard sale. Found a new battery on the Net, and it works great. Wonder who really made it?

A agree with T. I got my Lincoln when I got my tri-axle dump truck. One day I set it in the tractor bucket and forgot it. I went to get a bucket of gravel and when I dumped it there was the grease gun. The housing cracked but a hose clamp has held it together for over ten years.

I recommend buying a tool without a battery and use the battery and charger you already have.
Or if you have dewalt batteries you can buy an adapter for a Milwaukee grease gun.
I like my 10 year old dewalt grease gun.
Not saying milwaukee's are bad, they may be better.
Buy a bare tool and save money by using the batteries you already have..

I have a Dewalt 20v. Really like it a lot. Im a heavy equipment operator by trade and it gets used daily at work and at the farm when needed. Have had a few bad fittings that wouldnt take grease and the gun went into relief . These fittings had to be removed and the hole cleaned out with a new fitting installed. Not the guns fault. Have also borrowed an 18v Milwaukee from a co worker. It worked well also. I would buy the one you already have batteries for like some have suggested.

Geo-TH,In · May 2, 2022

BTW
a 20v dewalt battery can be used on an 18v Milwaukee
you just need to buy an adapter.

All my tools can be powered with a 20v dewalt battery.

Still using my 15 year old lincoln 12 volt for 15 years now, as long as I can buy batteries for it.....I'll keep using it.

JayinNY · May 2, 2022

I thought Lincoln was good too after 15 years or so the spring and the handle collapsed I can use it but I got to keep pushing the lever forward

JayinNY · May 2, 2022

I borrowed my brothers DeWalt couple years ago I liked it so much I bought one a year ago, I also did what Geoterr haut mentioned bought an adapter to use Dewalt batteries on Milwaukee tools

chuck from neb · May 2, 2022

We've had both and we like the Milwaukee better than the DeWalt

I have mostly Dewalt tools so purchased a Dewalt grease gun
I like it pretty well but do have issues bleeding the air out after changing cartridges, also on some fittings it will stall out
Nephew has Milwaukee and Ive used it a few times, didnt have the air bleeding issues with it and it appears to put out more pressure, had it lug down on some fittings but it punched through
If this Dewalt ever lays down itll get replaced with a Milwaukee but until then Ill keep using it
