I used a Lincoln for years, it got the job done, but where I work now all our battery tools are pretty much Dewalt, so I purchased this Dewalt 20V grease gun. Compared to the old Lincoln, no comparison. This thing is bad a$$. Easy loading and bleeding, variable speed trigger, will pump really slow, or with trigger wide open it's whipping it out. Has a trigger lock that prevents you from pulling the trigger while carrying. And of course I use lock n lube couplers. If you already have Dewalt 20V tools I highly recommend this one. https://www.tractorsupply.com/tsc/p...506-&msclkid=05d9c0dc555a175c8cc3a3de807600e0

I purchased the M18 Milwaukee because the guys I work around have many $$$ of their tools and I can borrow rather than purchase if needed. I still use a lot of air tools in the shop being a former auto body facility but there are many times a cordless tool is welcome.

Milwaukee M18. I poo pooed the suggestions that I needed an electric grease gun for the zillion zerks on my backhoe, but once I got the Milwaukee and the lock and lube, I got religion. I bought mine in conjunction with their 3/4 inch drive Impact gun (necessary for dealing with backhoe lug nuts), and use those large batteries on the grease gun. I never run out of juice.

I love my milwaukee 12V
I would be all over that Makita if I had Makitra batteries and did not already purchase the 12V on super sale
Do not be afraid of the M12 stuff this grease gun gets it done, I am not sure how I lived without it before!!
tube after tube of grease I think maybe once a year I have to charge the battery
