pigster Posted February 10, 2007 Share Posted February 10, 2007 so far I don't seem to be able to get a single grease gun to actually work consistently with my LR. so can anyone recommend a decent brand that will not break/go wrong or just not pump the grease out. Also the connection bit, I can not seem to get one that stays on properly either, - would like a flex end rather than fixed pipe. any ideas? Have done the drapper one twice now and am fed up of them now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rtbarton Posted February 10, 2007 Share Posted February 10, 2007 I've got one made by Wanner - must have had it for the best part of 40 years, been perfect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

freeagent Posted February 10, 2007 Share Posted February 10, 2007 Grease guns are just another tool... you get what you pay for, buy Britool, Teng or Snap-on spanners, and you'll never buy another set... ...buy carp spanners from markets and they will break... same with grease guns... spend the money and they'll last forever.. I've got an ancient grease gun, branded Ford, it must have been given away with trucks in the 60's.. it works really well... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveG Posted February 10, 2007 Share Posted February 10, 2007 No problem for a couple of years using the difflock grease gun for ~18 pounds.. Takes the 400g tubes difflock you can buy either 11" or 20" flexi hoses with it Cheers Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Highway_Star Posted February 10, 2007 Share Posted February 10, 2007 LOL I have one of those too, handed down from my dad. I suspect it had one carefuly lady owner before him..... And I'll add my voice, it's the dogs danglies of grease guns. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As long as you remember to check the bleed screws are closed before you unhook the chain that holds the piston back! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
