I read tons of reviews on many of the grease guns and decided upon this gun. It is built solid and doesn’t seam cheap at all. In order to avoid the issues that many others are having, I did the following once I received it:
1). Checked the tightness of the fittings. All of them were slightly more than hand-tight from manufacturer. No wonder many of these guns leak out of every location. I put teflon tape on every thread and added just a tiny bit of plumbers pipe joint compound (10,000 psi liquids); wiping off any excess so as not to contaminate grease. The compound is probably not needed on this, but I use it on any fitting under gas or liquid pressure. It’s awesome.
2). Unscrewed tip and applied teflon tape & joint compound; so it would easily turn when I needed it to. I also left it loosened/unscrewed tip 1 turn; so I could easily unscrew if it got stuck on grease fitting.
3). Test fit the tip on a grease fitting, before adding any grease to the gun, and adjusted the tip so it wouldn’t just pop off, but came off easily when wiggled just a bit. About 1 turn or so.
4). Loaded the gun… Pull back on handle, drop in grease cartridge, pull tab and remove lid, screw top on (leaving 1/2 turn loose to help air bleed), released bottom handle while holding finger on air bleed, then screw top on tight enough to seal, but not too tight to cut into or damage the o-ring. The handle/spring may not go all the way in. This is ok and expected. Ignore it for now. Once you pump out a little grease, you can hold air bleed and let it in the rest of the way.
The gun worked fine on the 1st grease fitting (40 pumps on new bearing spindle until grease started coming out), but it got stuck when finished with 2nd grease fitting. I spun the whole gun around 1 turn to loosen the tip (since I already pre-loosened it) and it came right off the grease fitting.
Other tips:
5.) If the guns stops pumping grease don’t freak out; simply bleed out the air. This happened on my 2nd grease fitting. I simply held down on the air bleed for a couple seconds and let the grease push out the air. A little grease started to come out of the air bleed. This was expected and indicate that all air had been removed.
6.) If the gun gets stuck on the grease fitting, don’t panic and start breaking out the hammers and pry-bars. Grab some pliers or vice-grips to loosen the tip a couple of turns and it’ll come off. It should already be loose if you followed my previous suggestions.
That’s it. Hopefully this helps out anyone that is deciding on a grease gun or is having issues. A little patience and common sense goes a long way. Granted, I’ve only used this gun once and can’t speak to it’s longevity, but it worked great. I’ll update if any further issues. I have more fittings to grease before I’m done with this project.

I thought, as I’m sure many do, that a decent $25 grease gun would be just fine for the occasional greasing of a zirc here and there on my vehicles. Like many things I’ve purchased, I knew getting anything made in the US would be expensive, so I looked for a decent name and good reviews on Amazon for a foreign-made unit.
This little number popped up and its unassuming looks appealed to me. It was just a straightforward grease gun; nothing more. I bought it and a tube of grease for my next vehicle servicing, trusting the “Best Seller” label on Amazon provided some sort of assurance it’d at least be a grease gun that worked. 4.5 stars reviewed, “WOW – this is a sure thing!”, I thought. Silly me.
WRONG. IT IS GARBAGE. DO NOT BUY THIS. PLEASE, FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, BUY A QUALITY GREASE GUN AND SPEND THE EXTRA MONEY. HERE’S WHY….
I received the grease gun in the mail. It was packaged pretty plainly, but it had everything I needed and was easy to charge and start using. Next few minutes I’m doing a quick 2-3 minute grease job on my upper control arms for my 4Runner (brand new upper control arms, less than 6 months old, zircs in pristine condition) and I realize the zirc fitting on the grease gun is not letting go. I move it around, pull, push, twist……absolutely will not let go. I do a quick google search and BAM – this grease gun shows up with all the AWFUL reviews I somehow missed in the midst of these 4.5 star ratings – which I assume are bought and paid for.
I had to completely disassemble the entire grease fitting assembly to pop out the tensioning spring and get it to let loose of the zirc without ripping the zirc off (a costly replacement, more than $200). Thinking maybe I did something wrong, I tried it on the other control arm zirc and the exact same thing happened! As far as a grease gun goes, it serves the purpose of looking like a grease gun…..but not letting go of the zirc is a huge issue, could damage your equipment, and is especially bad for anyone who uses an implement for their job and livelihood.
I immediately submitted for a return and then bought a quality, assembled in the USA grease gun. The grease gun I got is an immaculate piece of quality workmanship and features compared to this $25 abomination. I happily paid three times the amount for a good grease gun and couldn’t be happier. I went with the LockNLube unit along with their easy release grease fitting. It is the nicest grease gun I’ve ever used, and I am certain it will serve me well for years and years.
Today, I packed this piece of Chinese garbage for return shipping and see that it is now leaking from every thread and sealing point on the cap. I am beyond impressed with how bad this is, and a quick glance back at Amazon shows a plethora of user-submitted photos of their leaking grease gun caps and fittings. I don’t know how this thing is still sold on Amazon, but please, do yourself a favor and DO NOT BUY THIS!

I like this because my old one finally conked out. It was a pain to use because it was a lever pump style and I needed 3 hands to use it. This pistol grip style is great. I can pump it with one hand and hold the locking coupler with the other. The first time I used it the coupler would not release from the zerk fitting. Other reviewer mentioned that. I tried to pull it off at a 45 degree angle like someone suggested, it didn’t work. I finally got it off by gently tapping off at a 45 degree angle with a hammer. I’m hoping it’s tight because it’s new, or I might have to replace the hose that came with it. It does seem a little flimsy anyway compared to my old one.
