The Stovebolt Site Forums The Shop Area The Tool Chest Grease gun

I just bought a Campbell Hausfeld Greasegun at Tractor Supply,it is the air operated one.Looked at Sears first,they had 2 different ones.One for $50. and one for $32.I havent had much luck with sears tools lately so I got the one at Tractor Supply.$29.and guaranteed for 1 yr.If it fails I just return it to the store.Antone else have one of these?

When using the air grease gun you can't rush it, you have to let the pistone to return before you push the trigger again. I always use a leather glove on the hand that is on the end of the hose, had a friend have one explode in his hand and filled his hand with grease. He almost lost his hand from infection, he recovered bur his hand is a ugly mess. They can put out upwards of 10,000 psi depending on the air pressure going to it.

yes be careful with any HIGH PRESURE GREASE OR FLUID.....back in 85 i was crew chief in the Air Force .saw a young gent of maybe 18 ...stick his hand in the wheel well of an F-15 cause tehre was fluid runnin all over teh ground to stick his hand into 3,000 psi of Hyd fluid sprayin from a pin hole leak ...it filled his hand an lower arm in a split second , thank god our Senior Master SGT. was an ol timer from the Vietnam days , grabed the young fella an took sfety wire too his upper arm for a tourniquite , well nedless to say we found out later the young fella lost that arm from infection an just plain damage , from the reprt the fluid hit bone an ran up the arm ...wasnt a pleasant site to witness ...JUST BE CAREFUL !

The reason I bought this gun was because of my mower deck.It has 3 blades with bearings,that take forever to fill up with grease.I usually just pump the grease in til I get really tired of pumping the old grease gun.I am thinking the air operated one will make this job a lot easier.
