CarbyneGrease Gun - Pistol Grip, 7500 PSI, Heavy Duty Professional Quality, Anodized Aluminum Barrel. 18" HD Flex Hose w/Spring, 6" Straight & 6" Angled Tube, Coupler & Needle Noze, 3-Way Loading

Got tired of spreading grease with the gloved "finger dip" method and decided to buy a grease gun. This is something in all honesty I will probably only use 6 times a year at most so didn't want to break the bank on a high dollar one.After looking at several models, this one seemed to be a great balance between functionality and price point. Was pleasantly surprised how sturdy/heavy the gun is and had no problem at all loading it and getting pretty thick grease flowing.I did tape the threaded connections with teflon just as insurance to help keep things neat. First use was on a sliding van door and the gun allowed me to reach deeper into the door's track than I could ever get. Again, this gun isn't something I will use everyday, but I honesty think I could, it seems solid enough I wouldn't call it light duty.

Upon arrival I loaded it with a tube of Dexter Lithium #2 grease. After a short period of time I noticed grease leaking from the bleed valve. I reset the valve several time in hopes of correcting the leak to no avail. I then sent an email to seller customer service and immediately heard back from a rep named Jacob. He advised he would immediately send me a bleed valve and for my troubles a gun kit, what ever that is. I was very appreciative and delayed finishing the job I started assuming I would soon receive the new bleed valve and and took the pressure off the grease gun to slow the leak. I am located in Las Vegas and the valve was being sent from CA. I waited for over a week and emailed Jacob and never heard back. At this point I will be returning grease gun to Amazon. Very disappointment and never again will I purchase their product again. I understand things can fail but when new I expect support and not phony lies.UPDATE: Prior to returning the gun to Amazon I again contacted the mfg in regard to not receiving replacement bleed valve as promised. I was advised it had been sent but they would resent one immediately. They were very apologetic and understanding. Within a few days I did receive a new valve as well as a bulk loader. I replaced the bleed valve and the gun works perfect, no more leaks. The only question/concern I have is the strength of the spring. I have never used a grease gun with a spring so powerful. Bottom line, the gun works as designed w/o leaking and I had great customer service. Hence the 5 star rating.

This is the best grease gun I've ever owned. It is very well thought out and has many nice features that make it a joy to use. First of all, it's very clean and doesn't leak grease all over everything. Just make sure you tighten up all the fittings before using it as they are loose so you can use either rigid or flexible attachments. I love the firm grip coated pistol grip handles and the rubber coated container tube which is about half the weight of the barrel on my other gun. There is a finger operated spring loaded air bleeder on the head assembly, but if you follow the well written instructions I doubt you'll use it a whole lot. Speaking of which, the instructions are excellent, written 100% in English, and are very easy to follow. This gun was very well protected for shipping, double boxed by the manufacturer then boxed up again at Amazon.com. I am VERY pleased with this purchase and just hope that it stands up to repeated use over the next few years ~ time will tell, but for now, it's a real joy to use!

This gun works very well. It is easy to load & easy to use. The coated handle feels good on your hand when pumping. The reason for only 4 stars : when it came the black o-ring in the tube on top of the plunger was pulled down & pinched under it but nothing a little screwdriver and pick couldn't fix. All in all a good product.

Was not sure what to expect, but also figured if I went cheap, I'd get what I paid for. This grease gun wasn't overpriced, and definitely worth what it costs. High quality, choice of flexible or rigid tubes, great instructions (something I haven't seen in a long time). This one pushed grease through a zerk that caused my last cheap grease gun to fail miserably, and it filled bushing like there was nothing wrong with the zerk at all. Since it's new, I can't speak to whether it will leak eventually, but it certainly didn't have any problems putting grease where it was supposed to go.

I looked at other identical guns on here that just looked to have different decals on it; Lucas and powerbuilt.Not sure why I've seen so many bad reviews. Unless the product manufacturing is very inconsistent. But I was skeptical from the reviews. I'm a Refrigeration technician that also wrenches on my boat and vehicles at home. So very light to mid range use I will say this piece is great. I did teflon tape all the threaded fittings before use. Because I saw pics of it having leaks on those other identical units. If you're a mechanic you should know some tephlon tape is an easy fix. On first usage on about 8 zirks it performed great and seems to keep that trend up. So don't listen to other reviews that are negative. I'm a real person with no hidden agenda to knock a product.This pistol grip design is great. It pumps well and I'd buy again.
