I have had the DeWalt for about 4 years and it has been great. Primes very easily and doesn’t drain the batteries very quickly. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Well, all of my grease guns have always been "cordless"... Just more...alcohol powered than battery powered. Honestly though, my primary one has kind of a pistol grip, you pump it by squeezing with one hand, no shoulder movement involved. Just wants the long flexible hose on it so it can be in the most advantageous position. Regarding bursitis in the shoulder. I have helped several people put that to bed for good with a few simple herbs, if you are interested. A tincture of Solomon's Seal root is one of the best. Helps the bursa glands in the joint to secrete more synovial fluid, the oil that lubricates the joint. Turmeric & Ginger in powder or other forms are unbelievable anti-inflamatorys & improve circulation. Several others work in tandem to improve things even more. Be careful of pharma shots that do nothing but dull the pain signal, while leaving the problem alone. It's like shooting Novacane into burning hand instead of pulling it out of the damm fire, only seams to make sense to these MD types & their accountants. More often than not those Cortisone shots give you asthma within six months to a year.
With whatever brand you settle on grab a lock-n-lub. That combo makes the chore a lot easier. Not much mess and no fighting to get it off the zerk. Hope your shoulder heals up quickly!
Welcome to the club! It’s like hanging out at the family reunion with the cool cousins that all cut firewood! You’ll love it!
I have had the 20v dewalt grease gun for a year now and no complaints. A coworker has a Milwaukee. Only advantage the Milwaukee has is it smaller and lighter. Both are good investments.
I have the 20 volt adaptor. Im able to use the 20v battery on my 18v tools. Mostly circular saw and impact driver. I have the 20v sawzall and oscillating saw. The adaptor is a bit tricky to remove though. Hard to press both tabs to remove. Can be a pain when using multiple tools and batteries, but it works. Id hate to buy all new tools.
I have the adapter-18v batteries gave up the ghost and couldn't see the sense in buying those batteries when very thing is going 20v. It is a little tricky to remove from a tool for sure!
Definitely agree the lock-n-lube is the best addition you can make to any grease gun... don't know how I did it before I got one. By the way, I have the Dewalt cordless and love it.
My 18volt circular saw fell off a high two story roof and still worked when i climbed down to retrive it. Cracked housing, slightly bent, but still cut. This was in Spring 2005. It has since been replaced.
As I usually suggest, try to buy the brand you already have so batteries interchange. As far as 18v to 20v Dewalt, when my 18v batteries started dying I bought an adapter set and then several more adapters to leave in the tools so I could switch only the battery. Then as tools died I replaced with 20v. I still have a full set of 18v and a full set of 20v the 18v rarely get used any more because the 20v are far superior being brushless.
I had a six piece 18v and mostly use the saw and drill/driver. Now have a 20v mini sawzall and oscillating saw. Dont use those a lot. Have the 20 to 18volt battery adapter too. Beware if you buy batteries online as the Chinese are counterfeiting them. Bought a twin pack of 18Volt three years ago and they barely held a charge. (New in sealed package) Luckily i was able to return them right away. eBay purchase.
These were ebay specials. The seller made no qualm about them or the return. I ended up getting a twin pack of 18v batteries plus the 20 to 18v converter at Lowe's. No issue with those as far as i know.
