Cornish Rattler Posted September 23, 2021 Share Posted September 23, 2021 Hi guys I've just bought an M18 grease gun, I do have an air grease gun which works well but gets annoying when the hose catches on something so the battery one should be better 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arjan Posted September 23, 2021 Share Posted September 23, 2021 Interesting to see how you like it in use Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simonr Posted September 23, 2021 Share Posted September 23, 2021 We have one of them in the workshop - it's awesome! I used it on some big steel on steel pin hinges that someone had forgotten to grease before assembling. With 32 Ton on the hinge, we couldn't push in any grease with a hand grease gun, just couldn't get enough pressure. The battery gun squirted a whole tube in, in no time. The bad squealing noises went away as if by magic! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cornish Rattler Posted September 24, 2021 Author Share Posted September 24, 2021 It arrived today so if i get chance tomorrow after fitting the Roamerdrive i will give it ago 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simonr Posted September 26, 2021 Share Posted September 26, 2021 With the pressure it delivers, I wondered if it might be useful for Hydroforming? I've seen people (on youtube) doing it with a pressure washer - but I think the material they were forming must have been particularly squashy (technical, engineering term there). When I tried it, it did nothing! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you seen Colin Furze's suit of armour he made? That was hydroformed with a pressure washer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bowie69 Posted September 26, 2021 Share Posted September 26, 2021 AvE (youtube) did a few videos on that gun, was impressed with the pressure capability, way more than book, something like 3 times, so for hydroforming, certainly worth a look.
