Thanks! Have had a De Walt grease gun for a long time, always worked good, couldn’t get it to pump today. I suppose the owners manual tells about the screen,but that is long lost!😁
I have been there buddy! I have that same gun and have had to clean that screen out once before. I also knocked a track off today too! See you at Bunyan! Thanks for sharing
I don't use grease guns but looking at buying one of Milwaukee's fancy dancy caulking guns for all the tile we have to caulk along the edge of the grout. Been watching Tim down in Mississippi showing off his Milwaukee tools and he don't do that unless he really loves something and it works for him.
The boss already had dewalt batteries so that's the way we went. I am really like the Milwaukees tho. I have been watching Tim's reviews on them to. I would say go for that power caulking gun!!!
Been having the same problem with mine. Seems like the pressure relief goes off way to soon for it to actually be maki g the claimed 10,000psi. Did you end up cutting it out? Or just clean it regularly?
I'm headed to exchange mine now for another one to try it it keeps pushing grease out of the pressure valve on top if the new one doesn't work I'm going to Lincoln or Milwaukee
No and also I'm not going to it's not even a month old and only used 5 times to grease my track ho we had Lincoln and they just went out after 3 years I never had to clean a screen on them I think that they should come up with a solution because time is money lol it's frustrating
Skidder Kev I took it to our local napa parts store where I bought the grease gun he did a lot of work for me trying to figure out if dewalt would give me another gun or money back... they will replace it but I would have to send it off for a month or better well I can't do that they wanted to blame my grease and grease fittings I just told them to not ever expect me to buy anything else dewalt we already had the drill an impact and saws all I am disappointed in myself for not getting another Lincoln they would have just replaced it this stupid gun wants to let grease come out of the top of it instead of going where I need it lol oh well you live and learn thanks for your advice
That's a bummer dewalt wouldn't help you out. I really wish these companies would stand behind there products. Well I hope cleaning that screen fixed your problem with it and it's still usable.
Skidder Kev I have cleaned it but it didn't help that much I think that the gun is just a lot slower and weaker than the Lincolns we had... yes I wish these companies would stand behind their products as well they are letting greed destroy their name working on a farm and in your case logging we rely on efficiency big time time is money is time
Yeah no problem love my dewalt grease gun it grease’s all my equipment daily 2 John Deere skidders. Feller buncher. And I knuckle boom. Have had it three years and still going
hell yeah!!!! still helping fellers fix their grease gun in 2024, good man!
Awesome man! Glad it helped ya out and thanks for the support!

Your welcome!!! Glad it helped you out. Ya not sure if it's in the owners manual or not either haha
Kubota Breaks a Leg but the Fixed DeWalt Cures It!!! I have the same gun. I like it.
I was on the ledge of disliking it till we figured out that screen was plugged. Then when it worked again I was happy haha
That grease gun sure makes pumping that track up easy.
You got that right!!! We pumped up the track with a pistol grip a couple of times and that was the end of the manual one haha
I have been there buddy! I have that same gun and have had to clean that screen out once before. I also knocked a track off today too! See you at Bunyan! Thanks for sharing
Haha funny we knocked a track off again today too. But this time took 5 mins. See ya at bunyan!
Skidder Kev that’s good glad it wasn’t to bad!
Thanks for the tip... worked like a charm
Glad it helped you out!

Thank you I fought with mine for 3 days. Took the screen out and bam works great. Colder days it clogs the screen on hot days it would work normal
your welcome James glad it helped you out.
Was your gun making a loud grinding sound when you use it ?
No it wouldn't. That doesn't sound good either
Now you'll have to ad that screen to your monthly maintenance program.
Ya we do or every 6 months. Not something I ever would have thought would have gotten plugged
Been having the same problem with mine. Seems like the pressure relief goes off way to soon for it to actually be maki g the claimed 10,000psi. Did you end up cutting it out? Or just clean it regularly?
We just clean it. It has a rubber seal in it so thought it wouldn't hold it shape as well.
Electric grease guns are a big time saver!! I wonder if our Milwaukees have the same screen.
I'm going to say yes they do. Maybe poke around next time you put In a new tube. For pumping up tracks these grease guns are a life saver.
Thanx Pal!
Your welcome!
I took that screen and threw it out. Works much better without it
the leafs they are a changing !
Ya they sure are! Looking forward to seeing you guys thursday
rags ??? hell thats what your cloths are for lol !
I'm headed to exchange mine now for another one to try it it keeps pushing grease out of the pressure valve on top if the new one doesn't work I'm going to Lincoln or Milwaukee
Did you clean or remove the screen? I'd go Milwaukee if you do buy a new one
No and also I'm not going to it's not even a month old and only used 5 times to grease my track ho we had Lincoln and they just went out after 3 years I never had to clean a screen on them I think that they should come up with a solution because time is money lol it's frustrating

get a milwaukee , you can use that yellow ting for a wheel choc !! c u thursday buddy !
Haha those red ones are fancy!
👍👍👍👍
Thanks for watching Wayne!
Diesel fuel can wipe the grease off.
Must be a DeWalt thing my grease gun was doing the same thing!
Must be or the Milwaukee has more power and can push that junk through haha
Shit I gotta check my dewalt.
Those screens are junk, I cut out the center of the screen on all of my grease guns.
ya thats probably what we will do now
Just get rid of the screen. I did on my dewalt 2.5 years ago and use it every day
Did you keep that seal or just get rid of all of it
I left the seal and cut the screen out
Ok. That's how I figured people were doing it. Thanks!
Yeah no problem love my dewalt grease gun it grease’s all my equipment daily 2 John Deere skidders. Feller buncher. And I knuckle boom. Have had it three years and still going
That's pretty good!
Good video. where you cutting at now . ? Break down suck.
This is just a local building lot we are clearing. Ya throwing a track sucks but doesn't take much to get it back on most of the time.
Are they a rubber type track.? How do they hold up for bush work?
Ya they are rubber style. I think bridgestones. The bush is hard on them but them seem to be doing well. About 900hrs on them now.
