I use them for grease and lubricant sprays.
Get all oils from tractor dealer to keep warranty right.
Few times I've priced fuchs and dealer for oil dealer been cheaper.

Ive just been on the JCB website looking for oil specs and noticed the grease guns, half the price of Fuchs too.

I haven't paid for any of my Fuchs grease guns. Had 4 for free.

They got their money from you in the price of the grease? 500g cartridges are coming down in price, blue lithium under £3

Forget published prices. The only price that matters is the discounted price that the rep gives you.
Fuchs is a top German company that has blending facilities in the UK, having taken over several UK blenders, including Silkolene at Belper. Top quality products.
I find that ACT tends to be substantially cheaper for Fuchs, which is all they sell [and have done since the 1960's when it was Silkolene] than I've ever had quotes from the local major trade distributor, but it could be that I haven't talked to the right person there. Or it could be that they only want to sell to the motor trade in higher volumes.

That is not the same gun as the Fuchs. It is a multigun: http://www.multigun.uk
Not a very good gun from what I've heard?

Thank you. Nice to know the real brand and inspires confidence. Have previouly bought from ACT at very sensible rates but you wonder how it pays to brand it yourself without putting it out to tender and going for the cheapest possible product rather than quality. Knowing it's Fuchs changes that a bit.

In are area we find Fuchs oils cheaper than the equivalent Morris oils.
Like what has been said before Fuchs is a high end manufacture of quality oils And lubricants. You won’t go wrong with them .

Yes. Got an account with them. They might chuck in a few freebies on your first few orders as a new customer.

Direct with Fuchs UK Limited. Minimum order value is/was £150.

Thanks. £150 doesn't go far with oil these days.....too expensive to buy in less than 200l barrels.

Sure doesn’t. But thought I’d mention it. They will of course sell you less, but there’s a £50 surcharge as I recall.
