Milwaukee two speed grease gun

[DrDunc]

Milwaukee released a two speed 18v greaser in America about two years ago. But as yet it hasn't released in Europe.

Has anyone imported one, or is the single speed one available here sufficient?

The reason for asking is because the single speed UK model is 8000psi max pressure, but the two speed is 10000psi.




And it's Christmas soon

I am sure you can buy it here. Try tradecounter direct think thats the name. Will have a look in a bit on laptop

Edit just had a look at folkstone, tradecounter, ebay and Milwaukee direct and would seem no you cant buy it here!

When my 14volt Alemite gives up I will be replacing it with either another one like this

Can buy them from Allube but they not got pic on there website.

Or the lincon version which is the same thing I think and also available in uk

I have a millwaukee grease gun and im 99% certain it is 10,000 psi. It isn't the two speed one though.

Double check that there isn't a 10k psi one available as well as the 8k.

Mine came with a charger and 5ah battery and im almost certain it was 10k psi.

We've had a single speed Milwaukee for over 12months here , bought just the body only and share the drill battery's with it was about £120 , great for the old man greasing the bat wing topper every day

 

[itsintheblood]

I say single speed, there is a dial on the side you can wind up or down to regulate how fast it pumps , but it's always kept on flat out

 

[YELROM]

The dial on the side sets how many pumps it gives when you pull the trigger.Have ours set on 6 so it stops after 6 pumps which is usually enough but if it needs more release trigger and pull it again

Well I borrowed IITBlood dads and then bought my own and its great. I find on tough/hard grease nipples that it forces in grease better than a hand pump one so pressure seems better to me.

Aye, but all the other suppliers only describe that model as the single speed?

It's my Christmas present from the wife, so eventually I'll order one.....

...... then tell her what she's bought me

I've got s single speed one and it's a brilliant bit of kit, makes greasing a pleasure.

I bought an , M18 GG, grease gun, a couple of weeks a go. It is a single speed model. it is has a max pressure of , 690 bar, which converts to 10.005 psi.
Here is a copy of the rating from the user manual

 

[Nae bother]

I'm after one to,my sealy has broken down,won't have another one of them,so im interested what everyone else has.

I have the Alemite 14 volt gun but it is on the old batteries (- Ni-cad?) and hardly manages to dispense a cartridge/charge. However a great piece of kit and I wouldn't go back to a hand-gun.

Been thinking about upgrading all my cordless tools as they have all done a lot of work - but have 4 different makes. Would it be sensible - and worthwhile - to change to Milwaukee for everything. The biggest advantage - to my mind - would be in having one set of batteries compatible with everything. Thought is to upgrade to a number of 5ah batteries and then just buy tools as "body only".

Thinking Santa would buy them too but not wanting to hijack DrDunc's thread.

Hijack away, I've ordered my grease gun from Santa

Though I can't have been as good a boy as @Getnthair if the sleigh is dropping off a complete cordless set there!



I'd thoroughly recommend Milwaukee as a cordless family. The performance is setting the benchmark that other brands are trying to emulate.

For example, the impact wrench is unsurpassed for nut bursting (and bolt shearing) torque.

I have the alemite 14 volt too, there are 2 types of NiCad batteries used on them depending on model, its made under licence by Ryobi. I have a 3ah Ryobi nimh battery I bought off ebay a while ago as my original bats are knackered too. its only a cheap copy battery not a genuine Ryobi, it works it okay but I don't think it puts out the pressure it used to seems to stall out easier than with the original batteries. but its given it another lease of life.

It will be replaced with the new Alemite 20volt lithium 2 speed version when it finally packs in.

Agree Milwaukee is excellent, and I have several tools but I don't like there design of grease gun were cartridge slides though the body just looks like its going to get messy to me. otherwise I would have the 2 speed 10,000psi one over the alemite.

Milwaukee is very good, doesn't get messy at all.

Whether it be greasing machines, changing wheels or some remote metal work it's Milwaukee every single time!

3/4 fuel impact my most recent purchase well happy with it. and the HD18 combi drill which handles my 16mm black smith drill bit with ease. impact screw driver is also really usefull with a 1/4 and 3/8 drive adaptor for small sockets
