Grease gun preferences

[DarrenWS6]

What's up folks. What does everyone prefer for a grease gun? Having never owned one before, I am slowly loading my vehicles up with serviceable suspension components and going to need to greasethem. There's $14 guns at auto zone then there's pneumatic ones. What's a good one for a garage self maintenance guy like myself?

I heard Mobil 1 and Amsoil produce grease too, being a big Amsoil fan I naturally feel I should use their stuff. Opinions?

Thanks!

Not sure if you have a compressor but this is the one I have and love it

Also,I put a flexible hose on it.I've had it for maybe fifteen years and still working great.

Don't remember paying $50 for it though

Darren, I got this grease gun and it works great. Easy to use and it takes the 14oz cartridge of grease. I just put AMSOIL's Multi-Purpose Grease and hit up all my zerks on the vehicles and my lawn mower.

I have a Snap-On. Lincoln makes a great one, and pistol grip is the way to go.

AMSOIL! Just used it last night do do my truck

I like the pistol grip ones too

My dad has an electric one (battery) on the farm. It is pretty nice too

That one looks good. Flexible hose, hand operated, pistol grip.

I'm not a fan of pneumatic or electric ones. They are great if you have to grease a lot of zerks often, but they can be very problematic.

Another vote for the Lincoln 1134. I have at least 4-5 cheap grease guns, the Lincoln is so much less problematic!
