Grease gun

[ACEngineering]

Just added an Impact wrench to my collection haven't had cause to use it in anger yet

I would like the new fuel one with 3/4 drive and 5 amp batteries. Loads a power

 

[Darren]

You would recommend one though

Yes. Saves so much time when on the big cultivator and awkward grease nipples. Can also get grease into some stiff pins when the hand greaser won't. That said I've no experience of other cordless ones but Milwaukee has always stood us well. We have 2 impact wrenches and a battery grinder as well.

Another vote for their grease gun and impact wrench. Had both and were spot on

Why not get some shipped over from the UK? It won't cost much

Thanks for the suggestion. Never thought of it as I assumed it would be a tad expensive. Will look into it when the time comes. I don't use very much grease though and got a butload when I bought the gun so it will be a while.

A question for the users about that expensive quickcoupler for nipples, can they reach UJ's? Or are ploughing discs the only problem? Really like the idea but I refuse to change couplers in between greasing.

I could ship you a box of 36? grease cartridges for about £20 postage I think.

Sorry you need to go to wwwspeedygrease.com Not trying to use the forum to sell just to put a fact right (have to make sure I have my facts right next time) Most important thing is to use the grease gun no matter which make, cheapest mechanic you have .

Crisis averted! I was expecting a riot.

Got 2/3 A500's brilliant guns hardly ever air lock but I got a Milwaukee battery powered grease gun just before Xmas , it's fantastic the A500,s are in semi retirement now.

+1 for Milwaukee.

It's nice to see a nostalgic picture from the old days!

Quite!

There are a lot of grease snobs out there. Teenyboppers like red or blue because it looks flashy. This is handy money and on top of the job

£12 grease gun that has done some 18 years of regular, faultless service.

Then there's you lot measuring each other's peckers with you fancy grease guns!

That red grease is crap. Jcb blue grease is okay when on offer otherwise too dear. Going to lithium moly grease now which is black. I find cheap crap standard ep2 grease is no good for pins and bushes on loaders just does not last. Especially on manitou axle king pins. Dont give a monkeys about others peckers Just look after my own.

No need to get all menstrual about it

You can get drums of whatever grease you like. Manually load a cheap, off-the-shelf grease gun and you'll never have a problem again

I always thought you had to use blue grease in propshafts etc as it had a higher melting point or something so it lasted longer?
I keep a couple of cartridges for the fastrac props, everything else gets normal grease as the blue stuff 'sets' in normal pins and bushes.
Also keep a couple of JD cartridges for front axle suspension.

Might be completely wrong, jusy what I've been told.

Your wrong I think.
The blue grease is lithuim based and will mix with all other standard greases but if you mix lithuim with calcium based grease then it sets solid.
All lithuim based grease will dry out and set anyway if not done often enough.
