First thing I liked was the price, this being $70 cheaper on Amazon.com than it was at local stores, if you can find a local store that carries it. I found it for about $199 at Tractor Supply Co., same exact thing. I read the reviews first so wasn't upset that the carrying case did not include storage space for tubes of grease, but it would've been nice if you did get what was pictured, especially for the price.

Even though it's 12V, it has more than enough power to squeeze out the grease, even if you had the gun sitting in a cold garage mid-winter. I found that filling my truck's joints with green grease was exceedingly easier than the last time I had done so with a hand trigger style gun.

When you pick this up and have it in your hand, you know it means business. It doesn't feel "plastic-ey", like it's going to break at any moment. With it resting on my chest, I had ample hose available to reach whatever I needed to reach under my 4x4 truck, which I was thankful for ,given its weight.

No problems whatsoever priming it. They gave all sorts of instructions as to how to prime it if necessary, but I just put the tube in, pushed in the handle in the bottom, and pulled the trigger and a few seconds later grease was kicking out and has kicked out every trigger pull since then.

You can hear the pump cycling through, so there is an audible noise every time it kicks in some grease. This is good since it will enable you to gauge how much grease is going in if you can't see the fitting and are just adding some by feel. Each pump noise equals one full squeeze of a standard grease gun, in my estimation. Each pump is less than a second, so it doesn't take very long either.

Bottom line is, this is an impressive tool. It does what it's supposed to, and it does it well.

I've had this for over 5 years and it has worked perfectly each time. Originally bought it to lubricate my steer skid loader, daily. Sold that and use it on my cars and trucks. Very handy I love it. Sometimes I go up to a year between uses and the battery is still charged and going strong. You will like this very much.

Lincoln has been making shop equipment for many a year. It is well thought out and works well. But just like one of the other reviewers said, what you see in the picture is not what you get. Just the greaser, one battery, the charger and case are included.

This grease gun is a heavy duty maintenance tool used to lube D-8 Cat's and other cargo handling equipment. It makes the mechanics job easier and hence, the proper preventative maintenance is always completed before the equipment is needed for work.

An easy to use and load product. I actually enjoy greasing our tractor and I get more grease into the fittings than I get on myself now.

The Lincoln coreless grease gun is a life saver I work on a fleet of Vechicles , there is a ton of grease fitting & the Lincoln coreless gun make by job easier.

I'm an O/O truck driver/business. My equipment requires regular maintenance. This tool takes the work out of the job! So far its held a good charge, it has good pressure, a long hose that connects solidly. It re loads grease with out any air locks.

Quick shipping, item was as I expected, perfect. I bought it here on Amazon and easily saved $100 on new retail prices in my area.

This is an excellent tool! I was very surprised with the power and ease of use of this tool. I would highly recommend it!

This is my second cordless ,the first one i bought was a no name & was a pile of junk.But the Lincoln is another story,its a piece of great work,easy to use ,easy to bleed out the air,and more pump pressure than you will ever need.I would buy another one just like this one ,stay away from those no name ,(buy Lincoln)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am an auto hobbyist who works without help a lot of the time. This tool was exactly what I needed to lube various parts that were awkward or impossible to service when using a manual pump type tool. I have the 12 volt gun and it is adequate for my expected needs. The higher powered tools might be better if you worked on machines subject to a lot of abuse where the fittings were dirt packed or not serviced regularly.
