Choosing a Heavy Duty Grease Gun

Choosing a Heavy Duty Grease Gun

Heavy-duty equipment, including commercial vehicles, requires regular lubrication to function effectively. There are various grease guns on the market ranging in price from under $20 for hand-operated models up to several hundred dollars for pneumatic, cordless, or powered guns; your best choice will depend on what type of lubrication is needed, its size about your workspace, frequency of usage and frequency of refilling needs.
There are three primary types of grease guns: hand lever, battery-operated, and pneumatic-powered. Each has their advantages and disadvantages depending on your intended application; hand lever models feature an innovative mechanism that restricts grease flow until sufficient pressure has been generated through their narrow nozzle, making them an excellent option for many different tasks without needing an air compressor or external power source.
Battery-operated models provide the easiest, fastest, and most convenient means of dispensing grease. These models are lightweight, easy to handle, and last long on one charge; additionally, they include coupler storage clips to make storage simple for trucks, cars, and other machinery. While more costly than manual solutions, their convenience makes them an excellent option when regularly or quickly lubricating large pieces of equipment.
Pneumatic models are attached to an air compressor, making them heavier and more difficult to move around the workplace or garage. However, they offer long-term lubricating services under various conditions, making them suitable for professionals looking to lubricate equipment regularly or occasionally.
Selecting an effective grease gun is essential, as an inappropriate one could over-grease your machinery, jamming and damaging its seals in turn, or leaving unsightly grease spots on its components. To avoid this situation, look for models equipped with built-in air release valves and safety triggers to prevent accidental use of them.
As well as these features, take note of the material and handle design when choosing a grease gun. Aim for models featuring lightweight materials with cushioned grips for reduced hand fatigue when used for extended periods.
Taihong's GR-12K grease gun is an extremely reliable and high-quality model designed for multiple applications. Equipped with an 18-inch hose and capable of dispensing 1 ounce per stroke - an ideal combination for trailer bearings - its pistol grip design is comfortable to hold and use while its weight of 5.5 pounds helps reduce arm fatigue when used for extended periods. Plus it comes with a 2-year warranty against wear and tear!
