Lincoln Industrial 18V BATTERY OPERATED GRESE GUN DUAL BATTERY, 1844

I have a Newholland backhoe/loader that was always a chore to grease all of the zerks. My 6500 dump truck is also benefitting from the Lincoln power grease gun. A great tool and takes the strain out of equipment care. I did a lot or researching before deciding on the Lincoln but the final choice and best device from my findings is the Lincoln. If after a half a dozen tubes of grease go through the hose I have a different opinion I will write another review. Don D. My second review. I have owned this grease gun for almost a year. After reading numerous reviews I went to the shop and removed it from the case. Took volt ohm meter and checked both batteries. Both were truly over 19 volts. Fully charged and no grease had leaked out. I only have one hand that works normally after having a stroke. This gun has performed perfectly every time I use it. I recommend this gun 100 percent. I have not experienced any of the negative issues other owners have commented about. Before today I had not opened the case for about four months and was pleasantly surprised to find all was in perfect condition. Buy it, be happy. God bless the USA.

First things first. The product came in a timely manner and in good condition. I like the fact that it comes in a hard case very easy and portable.. Be sure and let both of your batteries charge for 12 hours recommended in the owners manual. I have a case XT 75 skid steer and that's the reason that I purchased this product, I got tired of pumping 17 Zyrtec every time I use the machine by hand. I now can grease the whole machine in less than three minutes effortlessly and it doesn't excellent job, one battery lasts about five or six tubes of Greece. Another bit of advice on the high flow Setting you can really go through the grease fast I was amazed ! The one and only thing I had to alter on the grease gun was the Zürich fitting it didn't seem to be tight enough for some reason been easy three dollar fix

By far Amazon had the best price I found on this product by over $100.00 I use it in the oil field and it will pump about 8 full tubes on one battery charge even in 20 degree weather. The hi/low switch is great. When it is cold out the low speed pushes the grease with ease. When warm outside the hi speed gets the job done very quickly. Great product that I hope last me a long time!

First unit I got from Amazon came damaged in the case - battery was broken apart. Nice. It either was a bad quality control from Lincoln, and/or a return that somehow made it back into the shipping department. In either case, not good. However, Amazon stepped up and sent a new unit and a return authorization ASAP. The second unit was intact, and works great. No air hose, and the power selector allows you to overcome reluctant zerks. I do see a flaw in the battery construction, however. If not careful in removing it from the gun, it will pull apart at the base. Needs improvement. Otherwise, it'd be five stars.

If you do allot of greasing, this is the product to have in the field or in a shop. Heavy equipment lives on grease, it is nothing for them to eat a tube of grease a day. Excavators, less grease fittings but you have to clean tracks, not a fun thing to start or end your day with. A backhoe has wheels but is good for a good 20 different grease fittings. Been awhile but a tractor trailer is good for over a dozen. Air grease systems will save you your arms and wrists at the end of the day but the problem is they aren't available in the field or if you are on your back on a creeper greasing a semi the air hose is a pain in the exclamation mark. Lincoln's system, battery life, pressure, ease of operation and quality is hands down the best there is. Every heavy equipment operator who is in charge of their own machine should have this even if they pay for it themselves. It is that valuable. Every owner operator truck driver should have one. I have done the work and my husband will never be without one.

I choose this Lincoln 18v with 2 batteries over the Milwaukee 12v single battery. Both grease guns were rated at 7500 psi. I agreed with the other reviews. I went with the Lincoln because it had a hard case (as well as 18v). I did not want grease all over everything. Ironically, the day this grease gun arrived at my house, I stopped at Rural King (a farm store), and a salesman told me they have a new 18v Milwaukee 2 speed (high and low) grease gun with a hard case. the Milwaukee is rated at 10,000 psi vs. 7,500 psi. It also has a 4' hose instead of 30". It also has the lithium-ion battery (which should outlast several of these batteries). The Milwaukee has a 5 year warranty for the tool (2 or 3 year for the battery) vs 1 year for the Lincoln, and I do not know if the batteries have any warranty. I sure would have paid the other $35.00 difference for the Milwaukee, but it is too late now. The 3 star rating is for several reasons. The first thing you are told to do is charge the batteries for 12 hour the fist time before using the grease gun. The first battery charged fine. The other battery I had to keep taking in and out. Finally I put the first battery back in and out. After several attempts, the other battery started to take a charge. So far, it works great. I have not had a problem since until this last time. I charged one battery--no problem. When I went to charge the other battery, it would not charge. I took it back out. I only had to put it back in one more time. It charged just fine, so I do not know if I got a battery problem or not. Second, the first time I used the grease gun, the coupler at the end of the hose that fits over the grease fittings blew grease everywhere except into the fitting. Despite spending $236.00 for this grease gun, I had to use my hand grease gun--no mess what so ever. I thought I just had a bad coupler, so I ordered a 5 pack from a seller at amazon.com for around $20.00 with shipping. I also stop at Rural King and bought a $3.00 4 jaw coupler (instead of Lincoln 3 jaw). I tried a Lincoln coupler first. I had no problem except on about 4 fittings. The hand grease gun worked fine, so I tried another Lincoln coupler with the same result as the replacement. It too blew grease around the fitting. Finally, I put on the $3.00 coupler. It work like the hand gun--no mess. I think the problem is solved. Lastly, this grease gun is rated at 7500 psi. I tried to look up the owners manual on-line since mine is 70 miles away. I could not find anything on the Lincoln site. However, I am sure according to the manual, there is a safety relief valve at 7,000 psi. Furthermore, according to the owners manual, the replacement coupler #5852 (and probably the hose as well) is rated at 6,000 psi. In fact, I bought a bag of 5 replacement couplers. It said not to exceed the 6,000 psi limit. Bottom line, by the time I replace the grease hose couplers, I am almost up to the price difference of the 10,000 psi Milwaukee grease gun. It even has a carry strap for the gun included (additional cost on the Lincoln). So far, the Lincoln has been strong enough to do the job. I did have one fitting on a tractor and one on the truck that bogged the motor way down. It even spit a little grease out the side of the gun (I think that safety valve). So far, it has been a great tool, and only time will tell if the gun and batteries hold up. I do not know if the Milwaukee would have bogged down or not. It might be all hype. I do know, however, at Rural King, the Milwaukee hose and coupler are rated at 10,000 psi--not 6,000. I also know, if I could choose all over again, I would choose the Milwaukee. On both the tractor and the truck, that 4' hose would have been handy. I think that hose was around $25.00, but I bet it would not fit in the Lincoln case (since it is 18" longer). Before the 18v Milwaukee, I don't think there was much of a choice--buy the 18v Lincoln, but since there is the 18v milwaukee, I don't think there is much of a choice--buy the Milwaukee. In addition, I have read the reviews that say these Lincoln guns are stronger than the hand guns. I can not say one way or the other since neither has failed due to lack of power. The Lincoln just did not have a good coupler on the end of the hose. However, some of the hand grease guns are rated at 10,000 psi. I know this has been a long review, but you are talking about a lot of money. I hope this will help.
