Excellent quality for transferring fuel and lube

I got this to lubricate my new ball joints. This is by far the best grease gun I have ever used and the price is great. I haven't had any issues with leaks or air pockets. Very easy to use and for beginners there is a guide to walk you through the 'how to do it'. The only thing that will improve this is a flexible hose to access the fittings. I would recommend purchasing a flexible hose when ordering. I think Lincoln has the cheapest attachments here and it's good quality.

This is your entry-level gun, why isn't it working?

I followed the instructions, it took me several tries to get it working but in the end the grease leaked out. The second time you try to use it, the grease doesn't flow. Went to the manual and tried several times to fix the air bubbles but the rod didn't engage the pusher at all. By the time I was done trying, all the fat had pushed out of the back of the tube. A traditional mechanical grease gun like this should be reliable, but it isn't. This is my first time trying a Lincoln product and…

Don't waste money!

This gun worked great on the first tube of grease I poured in, on each subsequent tube the trigger licked the grease in the tube, tried another tube and it still didn't work, the pump from - because the push rod bypassed the grease in the tube because the push rod seal was NOT tight. I got rid of him furiously after he ruined two tubes of lube for me AFTER I cleaned everything up and the pusher was hoping it would close I was that pissed off. I can't even request a refund as I was outside of…

Very high quality grease gun well worth a small premium on price

This grease gun is REALLY value for money. First, it's very well done. The upper part containing the "pump" is a casting. It has both a vent hole and another port for removing grease. Second, it has a feature that allows the T-handle to push the plunger to fill the barrel with grease. The T-handle can be rotated 90 degrees so it doesn't protrude beyond the end of the cylinder. This greatly simplifies refueling the gun. The plunger can also be removed and inverted to use grease in bulk instead…

Pros
  • Fuel Transfer & Lubrication
Cons
  • No Instructions
