The thing that amazes me is the fact that a decent grease gun is now a sizeable investment. I don't know who made the Deere gun we have (maybe Lincoln), but it has pumped several 5 gallon buckets of grease through it--we fill it from a big air gun. We picked up one at a parts store for work a couple months ago. It oozes grease everywhere, and it wasn't cheap.

I wouldn't mind one of those locking fittings, if it was on a dedicated gun for "bothersome" fittings.

My thoughts exactly Sam!

John I was thinking the same thing.... put it on it's own grease gun so you don't have to use it on every fitting.. only the aggravating ones!

I've got a couple of those myself and I have to say, this one is what it's cracked up to be. Doesn't stick to fittings, doesn't leak, doesn't need 3 hands to grease If you end up snagging one, please post back here and let us know your thoughts, same to anyone who orders one

Hmm a decent grease gun...I want an electric one (or pneumatic), that will last longer than 3 tubes of grease, and...well, that's about it. I currently have just one gun and it's been good for me for a couple years. It really bugs me because when I got my own place many years ago, my dad gave me one of his borderline "family heirloom) grease guns. You know the tool, it was made when tools were made to last! What gets me is that during a move to my current house, I lost it somehow went through a couple guns since the move until I found the one I have now that is at least half way decent.

Anywho, my dedicated gun for "bothersome" fittings is my only gun

Always thought about purchasing one from the local "everything store" but didn't figure they were any good.

If it's rated at 10,000 psi, I might buy one for our "hydraulic grease gun"

It would be nice to have one that gets more grease thru the zerk than onto your hands and clothes :-)

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
