I can’t believe there needs to be a thread about grease guns. There’s one on every forum I’ve ever been on, and every guy who uses one once a year thinks they need a battery powered gun.
^^ This is so true.
I guess learning to use and load a grease gun at like 12 so I could daily grease the tractor and implement I was running taught me a major skill in life that I didn’t even know was a “major” skill.
I’ve never once thought, “Damn, this tool is so hard to use, I should spend $300 on a battery powered one!” Not even when I’m greasing the backhoe or excavator or a 4x4 tractor and tillage equipment.

I've got to say that there have been times I've been trying to hold the coupler on a zerk with one hand and am trying to hold the gun under my arm or between my legs while I attempt to pump it that I've thought having a powered grease gun might be nice. I'm thinking it would be better to just upgrade to a LockNLube coupler, though.

Better then a locknlube IMO, smaller profile makes it easier to get into tight spaces

Sure, personal use its like once a decade or whatever. Once a year maybe? Not worth it for most users

Like most on here I use manual grease gun.
Have a few on hand, as well as a couple taking smaller cartridges.
It is not something heavily used, no need for battery stuff.
Decided to try out the Lumax grease coupler, just mounted it on earlier today.
Will update once I put it to work...
