Time for a cordless grease gun

Does anyone have any tips or tricks on how to prime a grease gun whenit loses its prime? This is a perennial messy problem for me, and I figured I'd ask the experts. Also, is a cordless grease gun worth the extra cost?

Thanks,


Great question and thanks for the email. First of all, it depends on your gun.
My cartridge type has a bleed screw at the top andit has a T-handle and rod. If the grease is really cold or heavy I openup the bleeder.
If the grease is warm, the t-handle will turn and push all the way in and pull back out easy making a channel for the air to come to the back of the tube and grease fills it in. Several
repetitions are needed sometimes. I seldom have to use the bleeder screw, too messy anyway. You may also consider purchasing a cordless grease gun as well.These are great tools and make the whole process alot cleaner and easier. Lincoln cordless grease guns are by far the most popular model out on the market. I decided to switch to a cordless grease gun when
finally got sick messing with the cheap models.
