Review on πŸ”§ Efficiently Lubricate with Plews & Edelmann Plews 30-200 Standard Duty Grease Gun in Black by Jessie Duhon

Revainrating 3 out of 5

The gun is good... the rest is not.

I've used this a few times and been happy with the gun part but the grease fitting and hose that connects it to the gun is a real problem. The clutch on mine started leaking under pressure before the grease came out of what I was lubricating. The rigid tube has no wrench slots. So when I tried to swap out the clutch it just started twisting the tube where it connects to the gun...it took a couple of vises and that much damage to get the clutch loose. The hose was also too long to reach some of the fittings on my lawn mower so I had to replace it with a flexible hose. I also swap out the clutch now, so pretty much anything that wasn't painted black was a problem. The gun itself received 5 stars for its cheapness and how aggressively it infiltrates lube into those long-forgotten fittings. I would also add that the threads on the gun and end of the pipe are pretty bad and I was only able to get a few turns before they started sticking... the process was pretty bad. Overall it gets 3 stars (minus one for handset and clutch).

Pros
  • Great for outdoor activities
Cons
  • Secret
