You need to invest in a LockNLube Grease Coupler.
Locks the nozzle onto the zerk.
No more need for a 3rd hand.
Well worth the cost.
Thanks for the tip!
I will second that. It makes getting the grease gun on and off so much easier.
I 3rd that, love my locknlube
I fourth that! I also love my grease gun that attaches to a cordless drill.
Exactly
$140? 2 years later it's $245 with battery. Just got one. Loaded the grease and grabbed a beer and off I went. Couldn't be happier! Thank you for the video.
And 9 months later it's 299.99 with a battery 😆 what is this world coming to.
It's now $299 with battery :{
It’s 160 now a year later without battery… and I doubt it was ever 140 with the battery/charger kit.
Folks Check out the new Stoney Ridge Amazon Page!! It includes most every tool that we've used in a Vlog! Bookmark it to your browser and head to Amazon through our page...it's free and it's a huge help to the farm! Here's a link www.amazon.com/shop/stoneyridgefarmer
I asked this question a week or so ago in the comments didn’t expect to see a full video 👍 great video as always.
When I was young I did all my own work...now I"m 70....and I let the mechanics do ALL the work, Heck the dealership even washes my van for for, for as long as I own it....So I don't even do that anymore...but I DO take donuts for the guys who do the washing...they don't get a whole lot of appreciation!
With age comes wisdom, or in theory it does. The donuts are the key to great service. I used to be a mechanic and people that brought donuts got top notch service. They were put first in line and got charged the least amount of money.
The easier it is, the more often things will get greased. I love my Dewalt grease gun, and so does my equipment!
As the guy in charge of greasing the machines at my place of employment, I most definitely agree.
well thank you for showing that cuz I got a grease gun for my birthday courage and someone that you were showing. I was confused on how to get that grease cartridge in this unit.
I work for the local county road department and we have the dewalt power grease gun and it's a must with all the equipment and dump trucks we maintain. Great gun
As a heavy duty mechanic I couldn’t imagine life without one. Not sure how the old times faired out back in the day but I got some zerks that can take up to half a tube of grease on some equipment till it’s actually full. I’ll still use a hand pump one though from time to time with a needle tip to repac some sealed bearings or small articulation joints. Lol I never knew you had to turn the pull back lever on the gdewalt grease gun to push the rod back in on a new tube of grease haha I learned something new today so thank you for that. Always thought that was kind of weird but I just rolled with it and assumed it didn’t require it like a hand pump does
The new table looks good and works well for Tool Tuesday (Thursday lol). I bought a LockNLube for my grease gun which makes greasing much easier. Bloopers were hilarious.
Thank you Sir!! I bought a Dewalt a couple of days ago! It's awesome!
I have a lot of equipment that needs to be greased and the one advantage of the battery powered grease guns is that I am more likely to do regular greasing with it than the manual guns. Stupid as it sounds, I find that the battery powered guns are cleaner and faster to use, so I'm more likely to take the time to do it.
Thank you for the review! I have the blue one at work for packing bearings, greasing joints etc
I currently looking at the dewalt to purchase!
I ordered a dewalt grease gun a few days ago, cant wait to get it. I lube the tractor and implements every 8-10 hrs at minimum.
I’m really enjoying the great vids Josh. Over here in the U.K, I love my mcnaught K7 mini lube but I do like the idea of the battery greaser although if they had the option I would prefer a 12V version that you hook up to any machines battery so no chance of running out of power.
I used to have one of those small-size grease guns, but the tubes are the same price as the regular size, with a fourth, or less, grease.
The pistol-grip gun (regular size) is my favorite, too. One hand on the tip, one on the grip, zip zip!
Absolutely correct about lubrication. I’ll spend two hours greasing before brush hogging. An hour before baling hay. Other than changing fluids on your equipment as required it’ll keep your equipment running with fewest repairs and down time. Good video.👍
I agree with you. Those battery powered grease guns are hard to beat.👍🏻👍🏻
I did it manually for a lot years. Then I got a compressor for a low price (it failed two years later). Meanwhile, I bought an air-driven grease gun. Along with a new compressor, the air-driven grease gun made life much easier. But, I need to be within reach of my retractable air hose in my garage. For me, Mr. Suburbanite home owner, an air driven grease gun works. But, if you need to be portable, that Dewalt battery-powered grease gun is the way to go. In a farm application, I can see it as a cost-effective tool.
I always get that vacuum problem where the manual guns won't feed the grease and it takes many attempts to get them working. Maybe you could explain the right way to fix that problem. I guess I don't know how.
I have several different ones, but the 20 volt DeWalt is my go to. I use the lock n lube coupler others have recommended. I keep a regular coupler and a 90 degree coupler with whip hoses and a zerk on the other end to attach to the lock n lube, for situations where the L&L won't work. Store your grease with the pull tab end down, it will prime easier
LOL, fond memories of lubing aircraft in the Navy with the lube fondly referred as baby poop. Oh yes we used manual grease gun. Could you mention that at some point the lube fittings need care as well.
I have used the Milwaukee gun and own the Dewalt. I bought mine as a bare tool on sale for 100 bucks.
Wouldn't trade it.
Nice table.
I bought a lincoln cordless grease gun 10yrs ago, I gave away my pneumatic and hand pumped grease guns away. Never looked back, it might get used 10 times today and zero times tomorrow, but it works great.
Make sure you follow greasing guidelines per recommendation for special bearings! Over greasing or overfilling oil for bearings can be destructive, I've just learned this in the last year. Interesting stuff!
Specific** not special lol
I have a Iar grease gun , I dont need a battery one as the Air type are less bulky and im checking my Tyre pressuer at the same time but the old manuel greas guns are hard work when under a truck some times you cant get the angle and pump the leaver at the same time ,,,, Great vids buddy
Hey Josh! Love your show, but you indicated that the current price on the Dewalt 20 volt grease gun was $127. Researched this to purchase and found that price was for the TOOL only and did not include a battery and charger which increases the price quite a bit for a usable tool..
Have a Holt air driven, very satisfied...
As a Landscaping company owner, greasing the spindles is a PITA, we change have to sharpen blades every day, we grease about once a week.....it takes 1/2 a day to grease these dammed things....so I just ordered this grease gun......
I’ve had a Lincoln, we have a Dewalt at work and a Milwaukee at our farm the Milwaukee has been by far the best.
You are awesome brother! It is about 150 deg F. in my truck box, and every grease gun i have leaks like a sieve. Do you think this would solve this problem?
Nice ved Josh. Tks gary
Josh, cool video! I have a pistol grip grease gun with a Lock N' Lube grease coupler and I love it! The electric one makes sense for big equipment maintenance if your constantly greasing during the day. I am sure guys who do dredging and pond work with excavators use the electric ones to blow through all the greasing when they need too!
What kind of lock and lube coupler do you use,I read some reviews where people said they leaked and were not that great.
Great video...makes me want a cordless or even a pneumatic grease gun now. I've always had that weird fear that I'd end up with grease all over everything but what I was trying to grease with those electric or air operated grease guns LOL. Looks like they're easier to control than the manual lever or pistol type....I've found the regular manual type grease guns don't seem to ever dispense the same amount of grease consistently. You might get a lot of grease in one pump and the next pump may not get much if any at all...each grease gun is different though.
The bloopers were awesome.
A Tool Tuesday so good it happens on a Thursday!
Good points. For more difficult places maybe add some attachments. Such as a needle attachment.
Good point brotha!
I got 1 a couple of years ago never have regretted it
I got a Lincoln electric grease gun and I love it
+1
Im not huge on the battery powered tools since i built my shop on pnuematic and has held strong n steady BUT the lincoln electric grease gun seems like a way togo tobe more productive and less time in freezing temp. Than the old pump/trigger style.
Any recommendation on type of grease? Gray, Red, Green? Just wondering if you have used the Green. On the bottle it says it is for agricultural.
I like the third one ... Ole blue ... I want to be able to feel the resistance so i don't blow a seal ...
Very good product I am impressed how fast I can lube my machines
Agreed well worth it 👍
Hey Josh , something you didn't say...what kind of grease do you use? Same question for everybody else. What kind of grease? I use Valvoline full synthetic. With a Locknlube.
If you live where it gets cold keep your grease were it is warm, pumps much easier. Wish we had them when I greased the tractor & plow at 105 grease fittings.
You really need a LockNLube coupler. It alone has saved me A LOT of time making connections to the grease zerks
Helpful
I used a Milwaukee battery powered lube gun in the oil field and it was a God send when one piece of equipment has over 30 points hands down nothing else would do
I am a mechanic for an agricultural company and I would say get an ezlube grease head it cost a lot but they are great I was one who thought it was a gemic until I saw one on sale and decided to try it and now the guys in the shop have them too get one with a long and a short I also stick with a pistol grip I like them cheaper, lighter, easier to get in places, and it is 3-5 pumps for most zerts and 60 or so pumps for a 5 series like your or smaller machine is less and I rarely work on bigger so they are fine for me
I have a manual pump one and I'm always fighting with holding it on the fitting and trying to pump. $128.00 for a Dewalt battery operated is not bad at all and probably easier to use. Like it... Weld table top looks great. 🚜-Woooooo!!!
Thanks Chris!
128.00$,where?the ones I’ve seen for dewalt grease gun were 400$ to get one that comes with battery and charger.
Thanks for sharing your knowledge. Love your channel.
Also, I hope, many different KINDS of grease too. Especially for bearings, which require very specific types and viscosity greases. Just like specialized fluids have different weights based on purpose and tolerance, heat and speed, etc... The wrong grease can totally wreck equipment.
Josh there are two types of grease you need on the farm EMB or electric motor grease and EP2. Believe it or not ball bearings don't require EP grease and it actually can shorten a bearings life. Now bushings need EP grease which stands for Extreme Pressure. Electric grease guns can lead to over greasing in bearings, so don't go nuts. Now farms would probably do best with a Lithium Complex formula of grease. For electric motors a polyurea grease or just lithium. Bottom line greasing is great but do so sparingly and pat attention....Great Video Josh
I had the Tractor Supply version. The button stopped working. I wet out and bought The Milwaukee… mannn what a difference!
you can buy buttons fyi on Amazon...if you wanna fix it
@@StoneyRidgeFarmer yeah. I’m sure the wire just broke. It’s was really just an excuse to buy a good one. 😂
Hey Josh love you channel love your content I just have one issue!!!
I KEEP GETTING YOUR INTRO STUCK IN MY HEAD!!
LOL
Great review Josh, got my lad a DeWalt for Xmas he is a plant fitter he says it very good and had no prop was that a submariner watch any chance of a review on that 😀
Power grease gun all the way fantastic video thank you
I have a air powered grease gun works great
You need to check out the lock and lube products .
Probably not worth it for the average guy. But I LOVE my Dewalt 20v gun. I run through up to 10 tubes a DAY, and Schaeffers grease no less. I am a mechanic for a good size farm...every morning I beat the guys out to the field and get everything greased and fueled. It didnt take me long working here to realize exactly how long I spend actually pumping the handle on one of the manual guns. Bought the DeWalt to make my life easy. Lock-n-Lube tips REALLY make it nice, too
I’ve been wanting one for a while. Great video
Check that price drop man...it went from $141 to $127 yesterday! www.amazon.com/shop/stoneyridgefarmer (our new Amazon page)
Finally got one so I came back to watch the video.
I sugest look into lock and lube grease tip and then take that 90° tip and get a grease fitting that fits on the hose end so you can just use it as an attachment on any grease gun
I love Dewalt tools and have numerous ones. However, I was always hesitant to spend the money on the grease gun. Two weeks ago I purchased a new and my first tractor. I bought a decent (I thought) grease gun at tractor supply for $50. After reading reviews on it I returned it and decided to buy the 20 volt max Dewalt. $199 at tractor supply, minus $50 for the return, minus a 10% coupon and no sales tax since we’re a registered farm equals $129 out the door. This included the charger and battery which alone is almost $99. I have plenty of the batteries but you can’t have too many. As I expected it is an amazing tool. Now I don’t mind servicing all my equipment that requires grease. Buy once, cry once.
Hey Josh do you farm full time or do you have a day job too and if so is it hard balancing the two?
I work in the oil field and a grease pump jacks which hold approximately 10 tubes of Grease at a time so the powered grease gun is the only way to go
hey josh have you ever try the lock n lube for grease gun?
If you wanna grease efficiently, and often, a cordless is the way to go. I have a Milwaukee personal and its hands down amazing. I do work on a lot of farm and construction equipment, so it makes greasing tolerable.
Tractor Time with Tim would be proud of you " greazin " @9:20
Tim is a friend of ours...good people
This vid is 9 months old now, do you still love the dewalt Stoney Ridge Farmer ? Did you end up taking the filter screen out like some other people recommend? ever try a lock n lube end? In case your interested and haven't already learned Josh when you put a new tube in dont screw the barrel all the way at first let it bleed from there, then after you push the plunger tighten the barrel the rest of the way, any how thanks for another great vid Josh. $112 us ha ha ha, try $212 for bare tool in canuckistan, wish our dollar was on par with yours.
This show is always great.. relaxing and learning. Great work patriot...
Thanks buddy!
Another reason to store your grease with the cap-end down is that the grease will leak out of the rubber cap while stored in your garage due to the heat.
The DeWalt lube kit includes a 20V, 4AMP battery, fast charger, shoulder strap, and hard plastic case for about $192.
I have the Dewalt and it’s worth every dollar! If you do your own maintenance on your equipment and or trucks etc. get one ☝️ you won’t regret it!
Pair a Dewalt Cordless Grease Gun with a Lock n Lube connecter and it's a game changer!
Haven’t watched the video but I was wondering how many puppies are left?
I store my grease in a old fridge in the shop.... summer heat.
Power grease gun is good buddy....you have lots of equipment. I would buy a used power grease gun. Chk on gumtree or any 2nd hand tools. Save a lot.
Hello Josh, great review, and very fair comparisons. By the way, {joke coming} you may want to see your doctor about that Hoof & Mouth, it seemed that when you opened your mouth, you kept sticking your hoof in it. ;->)
Tool Tuesday.... Damn I’m many time zones ahead of US of A.... Friday morning here already 😁
lol...I posted a bit late due to real world farm drama on tuesday
$140 4 years ago, $300 now. Crazy. I paid $160 yesterday for a grease gun from harbor freight 😳
yep....there's a boat full of shipping containers parked at my harbor freight lol....but look at all the other tools ya buy...where are they from?
@@StoneyRidgeFarmer it's just crazy how fast prices rise.
you know what's really crazy....is the price of everything skyrocketed and people actually bought more!! What on earth!! Why on earth!! When a $150k house costs $400k to build...why wouldn't folks just sit tight and wait out the market? We're in for trouble in the next few years ....I see a full banking meltdown coming ....home values will plummet and our tax $$ will have to foot the bill for millions of foreclosures again...just like 2008!
Time is money faster saves money
Nice vidio
Cold weather, moisture, humidity is not electric grease gun friendly as well and especially if you bring wet dripping equipment into the shop. Can't leave an electric grease gun in the cab of heavy equipment in cold weather and start pumping away. This can strip gears and burn motors out. That's the drawbacks of electric grease guns.
Never had any of these issues my friend
Reach out to Milwaukee I bet they stack you up. Love my Milwaukee grease gun
Might have to do that.....I've reached out to dewalt several times to no avail
Where I work we got Milwaukee electric grease guns
Milwaukee electric grease gun it's great but you can also use air grease guns they work well also out of your shop
Would any one, of the "I think it's funny to give a thumbs-down," people please identify yourself. I want to see what an idiot looks like. This was an excellent video. Very well done. Every video should be this good.
Do you still have that seed drill you got at that golf course? Great vid!!😀
I do....I was just thinking about listing it for sale
Depends on the application when you have to drag yourself under trailers and prime movers to grease because you work remotely and don't have access to service pits cordless grease guns are a pain in the ass and it's easier with a manual one.
This video qualifies as a "LubeTube" favorite!
Can you switch out your 90 degree elbow with the Dewalt nozzle
sure
you never got the grease gun that can control the flow of the amount of grease to all of the mines does have it and can empty the gun to does allow me to put pressor on the bearing that is hard to get grease on the side of them or pins too
I saw you say you live in the mountains of nc of one of your videos... what part? I live in alleghany county
A few counties east of ya...Rockingham County
I saw those too, at tractor supply. The only use I could imagine is for folks doing lubrication on tractors for a living. $140 plus $80 for a battery. And I can’t see it being a lifetime tool any more than any other desalt cordless tool is lifetime. (Which means I am saying you are lucky to get 10 years. )
I do agree, never get a rigid hose on a freeze gun
I have 22 year old dewalt tools that work just as good as the day I bought them. Most folks that already have DeWalt cordless equipment wouldn't need to buy a battery. Price actually dropped to $127 on Amazon...I'd say that's a good deal....I'll let ya know in 30 years when the tool quits lol.....it's handy and well worth the money in my book....saves time and frustration for the cost of a nice dinner out with the family...man...can't do anything with $100 bucks any more...that's a half bag of groceries nowadays! Nuts huh?
Is their a playlist somewhere we could find the music you use in the videos?
No sir...not yet. I wish I had time to get in a studio with a band and do a 5-7 song album...maybe sometime soon
My dad is a hevy equiment mecanic he had a snapon grease gun it had a control dile that had a slow one pump per secon all the way up to like 20 pumps per seconds
The snapon one is not worth it ( to me )
Any risk of overpressuring fittings with the dewalt? I mainly grease my kubota tractor. Thx for the video!!
Never had any issue....I waited a year before I reviewed and recommended it...to me it's an investment.....took me some time to figure out whether it's worth the coin..YES!
oShane Kasper thank you. How do you avoid overfilling?
Stoney Ridge Farmer thanks bud. Love your videos. I just bought 175 acres of piney woods in east texas. Starting the homesteading/weekend farming thing. Wish I could live out there full time but job requires me to live in the big city for now. Learning a lot from you and others.
You should do a whole video of bloopers 🙂
Bhhahahha some don't make the cut...I'm famous for screwing up ....life is only good if you can laugh at yourself!
I’m a DeWALT guy but I like the Milwaukee grease gun the best. Its smaller than the dewalt. I would not suggest Lincoln. My shop has gone through countless amounts of them and could only get them to last about a year. The Milwaukee is on year 3 and still good as new.
We looked at teh Milwaukee...but the cost was much more
I prefer my old lever grease gun over my 20VDeWalt. I do NOT need two hands to get that Ventrac 4500Z center fitting, I hold the gun against my leg or hip, one hand on zerk coupler, and pump with the other hand. Same for the two drive shaft zerks, the front one being a real challenge.
That one grease fitting is a tricky on huh?
@@StoneyRidgeFarmer Yes it is.
