What do you think of your Milwaukee grease gun?

[Pilatus]

As above, as I am considering buying one.

I like mine, nearly always pick it up over manual gun. Only negative thing for me is the noise it makes, makes it hard to hear the when the grease pops to say its had enough.

I like mine for greasing 90% of stuff but pto shafts I still use a manual.

Love it

Excellent tool.

Best cordless tool there is simply because it gets used when it should. Makes most of the job a breeze with great power, doesn't air lock and has lots of neat things like being able to set a number of pumps which is useful for greasing combines, balers, etc. If it breaks at any point it'll be replaced instantly as it's become regardless of it costing £150 because it'll have paid for itself 10x over and is seen as something to just pick up and go (lost the nozzle end off the combine wheel and my dad grumbled about it for a week till the replacement came!).

We also like running a lock-on connector with it and have a 90deg male nozzle that just clips on for getting some awkward spots.

I don’t like it or any electric grease gun because of the noise. I am never quite sure what grease it is pumping or not pumping unless I can see the results. We have 5 or so different grease guns but the JD trigger grip one is my favourite. Son is however a Milwaukee fan so pays your money…..

When I use mine I pull the plunger out without locking it then you can see what grease it’s using.

Great bits of kit but we’ve 2 that have both packed up didn’t bloody register them either

Don't think buying one will be the end of the spend. You now have a battery so a drill would be handy then a driver then a grinder got some tools another battery would be useful........ its never ending.

Its the start of the spending spree, the most expensive grease gun you'll ever buy but really handy and at least one of the tools will get used most days.

And you will use more grease

Overrated, would rather have a good quality manual gun.

I agree. I'd rather one good gun than multiple guns because you can't feel pressure or access a grease nipple.

fine with a bank of greasers all lined up lovely but life isn't like that on many farms.

Loved mine till it broke .

 

[Neil MP]

I’ve literally put thousands of grease cartridges through mine in the past 3 years and have never had any issues, great tool.

 

[collywol]

Had mine over 5 yrs now , wouldnt be without it . If you’re pumping till you hear it pop you’ve blown the seal.

I’d say you can tell the pressure by the sound & speed its pumping. Also can get more places with the Milwaukee than a normal gun as it came with a 90 degree adaptor with is actually very handy.

You will get one on any nipple you can get a manual on on and you can tell by listening to it if it’s taking grease/blowing it out the side of the nipple/run out of grease or not going to take grease because the nipple is blocked

I’ve two think their great
i always hold the pipe and you can feel it pump every time
