Thanks Mike, trying to get caught up on all the small stuff. It stinks working out of the Hotel parking lot and on the weekends at the base auto hobby shop

I couldn't spring for the Electric Lincoln but I did get a new Lincoln Pneumatic one to replace my 40 yr old pneumatic one that only gave one pump per trigger pull. The new one can go Full Auto!!

I like my Lincoln power luber for the tractor and bushhog but prefer my pistol grip for my truck. I have blown out a boot on an upper ball joint so now I like to slowly squeeze on the pistol grip. Note I did not blow it out with the power luber but can see it blowing one out before I realize it. A little safer with a hand luber
If you have not done this yet add a couple of long whip hoses to the grease gun and it helps when you have to loop the hose like a snake to get best alignment. One whip hose isn't enough IMO.
I think I added (3) 18" whip hoses. I used a couple of 1/8-NPT plumbing couplers to add the extra whip hoses. Note it doesn't get cold enough here to cause a problem pumping cold grease through 3 hoses.
Another tip I learned via a forum is diaper your grease gun. Wrap a couple shop paper towels (make a coule layers thick fold one or more etc) around the base and tape it on and it will eliminate the oil seperation drips out of the plunger hole.
