Best grease gun

[floridafitz]

Now that my new ball joints have grease fittings and will soon install new end links, looks like I'll need to do my own greasing when oil change time rolls along...which I do at home with Mobil 1. Anyone have a recommended hand pump gun that's easy and reliable to use with a long enough hose. Could probably get some compressed air instead if it makes the job a lot easier. Thanks.

IMO, the type with the one-handed pumps are the best. Also, you can get extra hoses to add-on. Wal-mart had them pretty cheap.

I had to return 3 walmart ones before I threw in the towel.

Advance Auto Parts sells one for $20. I wrote a review on it (look for it!) Ive had it over a year and its by far the BEST grease gun Ive ever owned. It never loses prime and is always easy to pump. I use it for the 'Voy and my boat.

You can also use a promo code (P20) online, go pick it up locally and save 20%.

EDIT: found the grease gun at AAP. Got great reviews.

A note on losing prime on those things. The rechargeable ones are horrible when it comes to losing prime, it is a PITA to get them going again. If you are just going to hit a few fittings every now and then go manual. And the one handed ones are the best to get because anyone who has tried to pump a grease gun with two hands and get any grease in the fitting at all has gone completely postal after the 3rd fitting.
