I'm on the market for a grease gun to use on my trikes, my truck, etc. Any recommendations on a good one?

i got a good one at napa it was like $35

i like the ones you can hold and pump with one hand...not the long handled ones

I went to Northern Tools online...good selection. I don't want to spend a fortune, but I also like to buy tools that last forever. Trying to narrow it down.

I prefer the ones with a long handle. When I used to grease machinery daily, I put a 3ft. hose on my grease gun so I could pump it against my knee or whatever was handy. This left one hand free to hold the tip on stubborn zerk fittings. Buy a good one, you likely will have it for awhile. I like the Lincoln brand, and dont buy a cheap replacement tip as you'll get what you pay for...

Go and borrow one.


You won't use it all the time and it will have grease all over it and last you forever on one cart. unless you are a mechanic. I was going to throw mine away if it still didn't have all that grease inside.

A grease gun with a flexible hose and a swivel tip is usually pretty good to almost grease anything.

Just picked up a Lincoln Heavy Duty #1134 with an 18" hose...$36 on Ebay.
