Airlock immediately

Well it's solid and well made. Good aluminum. Lubricant. Repumping (to the point of hand fatigue) and NO greasing. Now I need to clarify the suspicion of an airlock. The mirror fitting at the end of the tube is difficult to remove from the mirror fitting. I had to pull and unscrew it.

Pros
  • practical item
Cons
  • I'll add later

Very disappointing fuel transfer and lubrication

Appears to be well made. Except that the piston mechanism is defective. I used two 3 ounce cartridges to lubricate what needs to be done in a quarter cartridge. Holds no pressure. I would not recommend it. I've had a really hard time finding a good mini 3 ounce cartridge grease gun. My two previous purchases (not from Revain) were also very bad. Maybe the 14oz shotguns are better quality. They're bigger and bigger than I need, but I've had trouble with those lousy mini grease guns.

Pros
  • Very good value for money
Cons
  • Communication with seller

Don't waste money!

Don't waste your money on this junk. I thought I was buying a quality product and I was wrong. At the same time as buying this product, I also bought 3 packs of mini fat containers. The sole purpose of a grease gun is to lubricate properly!?!? Not with this garbage. The piston pushes the grease out, leaving more grease in the spring than anywhere else. If you want a grease gun that lubricates itself, but that's junk. If you want a grease gun to lubricate what you're actually working on, look…

Pros
  • Few competitors
Cons
  • old

Poor Grease Gun Great Customer Service

I really liked this grease gun at first. Lightly primed and working. Unfortunately, I had the same issues as others with grease leaking through the piston. I lost about 3/4 of a tube of grease behind the piston (see 1st photo). Contacted customer service and they were fantastic and sent a replacement. The same problem when replacing (see 2nd photo). The piston diameter is just too small and when the gun is touched down the lubricant slowly seeps through the piston. The only reason I give 3…

Pros
  • Best in Niche
Cons
  • Tradeable

Piston seal issues but up to 5 stars for excellent service

I use this gun every 6 months. Worked great, when I first used it again a few months later the piston seal didn't work and the lube just leaked under spring pressure. I contacted the seller and Yakov immediately agreed to replace the pistol as defective. Even with problems I give a 5 star rating simply because good customer service is VERY hard to come by these days. I'm an older guy and products just aren't made the way they used to be. For a company to support their product, like in this…

Pros
  • Comfortable to use
Cons
  • Wrinkled

Pull handle latches for easier grease cartridge installation

I plan to use a grease gun to fill Quicksilver 2-4-C with PTFE for my Mercury outboard. Also use grease on vehicle tie rod ends. The guide is good on loading a grease gun too. The handle also has a black rubber grip for your hand. I was also impressed with the deeper threading of this gun compared to another brand I own. The most important feature for me is the locking handle shown in the picture, which is used to load the pistol with grease. The color of the gun makes it a step up from my…

Pros
  • Shipped very quickly
Cons
  • Mostly OK but...

Yes it leaks but it can be fixed. But you don't have to fix it!

First of all, as others have reported, my pistol didn't have the CARBYNE logo on it so who knows what I got. Also, like others, I had a terrible spill of lube - it was useless. I wasted two barrels of grease trying to get it to work and was about to toss it in the trash when I noticed that the orientation of the rubber seal designed to push the grease out of the cylinder is BACK! I really needed a grease gun, so I removed the gasket, reversed its orientation, and then drilled a cotter pin hole…

Pros
  • Easy installation
Cons
  • Other interesting options are available.

Messy but works best with tools and equipment

Using a grease gun is inherently a messy endeavour, and this is where a lesson needs to be learned. I think a lot of the negative reviews reflect that fact and not the quality of the product itself. This grease gun is well built, mostly aluminum making it light weight but strong enough not to look cheap. The 12 inch hose extension makes it easy to reach hard-to-reach places. I have used this gun to lubricate the front axle of a John Deere tractor and the reels of a mower and it has worked well.

Pros
  • Great for a small home
Cons
  • A questionable purchase for the elderly
