Air grease gun.

I came across a air graese gun used( has the replacing cylind of grease), $20. Would this be better than the hand pump?

IMHO, an air grease gun is superior to the hand pump style.  I wonder if you could run it off the bus air.  I've never tried that.  Hmmm....  new project!

Much better and easier to use.  A must for king pins as it pushes a lot of grease and causes the stuff to come out of al the relief ports and I have often been unable to get that result with a hand pump.  $20 is a good price.  Harbor freight has them for cheap.

We have a 14 volt Lincoln. I love it...So much easier that hand squeezing it. Twenty sounds like a good price. If it works, get it. You will love not having to squeeze so much.

God bless,

I have a Lincoln air grease gun and run it off the bus air with no problems        good luck

 I've got a Harbor Freight Air grease gun, Love it!!!!  I keep the gun in a plastic garbage bag, even when useing it, keeps from making a mess.

Battery powered might be better than air powered (no air hose to drag around or get tangled).   Jack

We use the battery Linclon at work and they love them. I plan on one for myself.

I started with a hand pump type from my auto work, and quicly got a harbor freight air type.  There are often places that you can't get a full swing on a hand pump.  I'm sure you could use the bus air to run one, but I'd only do it in an emergency.

Hey John,

I've got a air grease gun and I've got a 14.4 volt Lincoln grease gun. As far as I'm concerned, the Lincoln is the way to go if you can afford it. Seems like I paid around $175.00 for mine.

I wouldn't take nothin' for it.

The battery operated Lincoln greese gun is the way to go. They are built for Industrial use and covered under warranty for 1 year with free service and replacement if needed. I've bought cheap grease guns from china before and usually had problems with them. Lincoln also makes a lever operated gun that works in tighter areas. Only needs a 1/4 pump of the handle to get up to 10,000psi of grease output incase you have a clogged bearing.

Absolutely get a powered grease gun!

He who gets tired pumping....won't finish the job, put in enough or start the job in the first place.

Anything that makes routine maintenance easier is good for the coach, since it will be more likely to happen.

If you really want a project, how about installing an auto greaser?

Then you only have to use the gun on those parts that rotate....

happy coaching!
