I have a speedy grease and it keeps air locking, it's brilliant when it works but I keep having to push the rubber end cap in with a screwdriver. Is it because I'm using the wrong cartridges or what?
i usually pull the handle all the way back and then drop the cartridge in and then screw the top on, who knew playing with a grease gun could be done soo many different waysSeems to be a lot of air lock problems, some on cheap guns some on the expensive ones :/ who when loading them leaves the plunger handle out and pushes it in manually or who twists it off the clip, pushes it in so the spring does the work, is every 1 on cartridges or some still on buckets of grease
mine was to but when i bought some new cartridges its been fineI have a speedy grease and it keeps air locking, it's brilliant when it works but I keep having to push the rubber end cap in with a screwdriver. Is it because I'm using the wrong cartridges or what?
Are you over tightening it so the tabs of cartridge are pushed inside the metal collar? Only lightly screw it up so just touches sealing it, then maybe once or twice cartridge just check its not loosened. Found I had that when used to tighten up as a standard one aka tight. I'm using Claas and Morris cartridges which seem to easily loose tabs inside collar speedy cartridges are far better. Plus always bring lever full stroke not pull back part stroke. Hope this helpsI have a speedy grease and it keeps air locking, it's brilliant when it works but I keep having to push the rubber end cap in with a screwdriver.

Thinking of getting a 18v Milwaukee what sized battery do you use?The best we have is either the 18v milwaukee which is superb or the reasonably priced one we got from Bunnings. Can't remember the make but I think it's a german one. Both superb and empty the cartridge properly. Wouldn't have a Mcnaught, never seem quite right. The allemite is also very good but cost more than the Bunnings gun.
We have a few bits of Milwaukee so we have standard 18v and the fuel type. The standard ones last for long enough on it.Thinking of getting a 18v Milwaukee what sized battery do you use?
How much did you pay for yours ive got the batteries already so be just the gun its self I've seen them for £125Just make sure you gill the extended Warrenty out to get your three years.
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.You would recommend one though
Love my speedy grease but the special speedygrease cartridges seem to be unobtainable in my part of the world. Well, for a decent price I mean. I am not planning on paying ~€5 for a cartridge.
My father fished a JD lubeshuttle out of the dealers scrapbin with a missing bottom but an intact spring. Good times.
Just added an Impact wrench to my collection haven't had cause to use it in anger yetYes. Saves so much time when on the big cultivator and awkward grease nipples.
