LX-1152 Black Heavy Duty Deluxe Pistol Grease Gun with 18" Flex Hose, Handy 3-Way Loading - Fill with Standard Cartridge, Suction or Bulk Fill. Convenient One-Hand Operation for Easy Greasing.

I read tons of reviews on many of the grease guns and decided upon this gun. It is built solid and doesn't seam cheap at all. In order to avoid the issues that many others are having, I did the following once I received it: 1). Checked the tightness of the fittings. All of them were slightly more than hand-tight from manufacturer. No wonder many of these guns leak out of every location. I put teflon tape on every thread and added just a tiny bit of plumbers pipe joint compound (10,000 psi liquids); wiping off any excess so as not to contaminate grease. The compound is probably not needed on this, but I use it on any fitting under gas or liquid pressure. It's awesome. 2). Unscrewed tip and applied teflon tape & joint compound; so it would easily turn when I needed it to. I also left it loosened/unscrewed tip 1 turn; so I could easily unscrew if it got stuck on grease fitting. 3). Test fit the tip on a grease fitting, before adding any grease to the gun, and adjusted the tip so it wouldn't just pop off, but came off easily when wiggled just a bit. About 1 turn or so. 4). Loaded the gun... Pull back on handle, drop in grease cartridge, pull tab and remove lid, screw top on (leaving 1/2 turn loose to help air bleed), released bottom handle while holding finger on air bleed, then screw top on tight enough to seal, but not too tight to cut into or damage the o-ring. The handle/spring may not go all the way in. This is ok and expected. Ignore it for now. Once you pump out a little grease, you can hold air bleed and let it in the rest of the way. The gun worked fine on the 1st grease fitting (40 pumps on new bearing spindle until grease started coming out), but it got stuck when finished with 2nd grease fitting. I spun the whole gun around 1 turn to loosen the tip (since I already pre-loosened it) and it came right off the grease fitting. Other tips: 5.) If the guns stops pumping grease don't freak out; simply bleed out the air. This happened on my 2nd grease fitting. I simply held down on the air bleed for a couple seconds and let the grease push out the air. A little grease started to come out of the air bleed. This was expected and indicate that all air had been removed. 6.) If the gun gets stuck on the grease fitting, don't panic and start breaking out the hammers and pry-bars. Grab some pliers or vice-grips to loosen the tip a couple of turns and it'll come off. It should already be loose if you followed my previous suggestions. That's it. Hopefully this helps out anyone that is deciding on a grease gun or is having issues. A little patience and common sense goes a long way. Granted, I've only used this gun once and can't speak to it's longevity, but it worked great. I'll update if any further issues. I have more fittings to grease before I'm done with this project.

I've had this grease gun (pistol) since 2022, and it's never failed me. I made the mistake of putting one of those "gripper" heads with the lever on it. Didn't take long to change back to the original tip. Those don't grip. The gun itself has performed flawlessly and continues to do so. I am very satisfied with that purchase.

Should have replaced my old grease gun long ago. Pistol grip is great for one-handed operation. The connector sometimes sticks on the zerk but overall works well.

I've never actually had a grease gun before, even though I've been doing my own work on cars and motorcycles for years. Bought a Land Rover with a driveshaft known to blow up without greasing, so I figured this was the time. The price was very reasonable and it seems sturdy and well made. Metal is a good thickness. Hose is a good length to reach fittings in weird places. It took me a while to de-gas the grease. It has a bleed valve on top which I couldn't get to work - the only thing that did it for me was pulling the handle back out from the bottom, unscrewing the body, and slowly releasing the handle to push grease up to the top. My first few greasing were interrupted by the handle bottoming out because there was an air pocket, but once I got through that it's worked flawlessly. I'm using SynTech grease with it and it works perfectly. If you do take the body off while it still has grease in it - PULL THE HANDLE DOWN FIRST or you will have a greasy mess on your hands (ask how I know this...). In short, the quality is very good, especially considering the price. Used it a few times and I'm quite satisfied with it for a home user.

Super buena para engrasar aún en áreas difíciles

35 year diesel/heavy equipment mechanic here. I'll just say for the price, this is an excellent grease gun. Probably the easiest priming grease gun I own and I have several much more expensive ones. For those who aren't mechanically inclined, the tip is adjustable for how tightly it grips onto grease fittings. Loosen it up just a bit and then you won't be snapping off grease fittings trying to pull it back off.

Super Gress Gan No Problem Very Good amazon Team Thanks

Good

As described.

It made it all really easy, big difference against normal push/pull type. Facilitó mucho el engrase, hizo una gran diferencia contra el acoplador normal del tipo empujar/jalar.

This is an awesome grease gun compared to my old one which is always leaking and I had oil always around the barrel and the trigger area. I put new grease in the gun. And two squeezes of to handle it was working. Yeah it was quick so I highly recommend this grease gun
