For years I’ve fought a cheapo grease gun that’s a PITA. Any recommendations for a good gun for servicing u-joint and driveshaft zerks?
And no, an M3A1 probably won’t work.
Well I mean...it might not work but it would definitely be cool to have.
Honestly you're going to hate hearing this, but I've had excellent luck with my Harbor Freight grease gun. Bought it 4 years ago and it still works great.
For u-joints, driveshafts and any other suspension work I've moved to the small pistol grip grease guns with a needle. It is easy to use one handed and the needle makes it easier as you don't need the angles to be as perfect. Right now I have two cheap ones that I can bulk load. I now only use my big grease guns for topping off the birfs.

... but the real magic comes from the lock n lube tip. I'm telling you its worth the money. No fighting at all and it comes right off. I think its rated at 10K psi so your lube goes where you want and not all over the place.
Thanks Paco, I just ordered one from Amazon.
Lee,
I no longer dread using the grease gun since adding the Lock n Lube! The kit will or should come with a rebuild kit for the locking jaws.
I got the pneumatic Lincoln grease gun with the lock-n-lube. Like @firestopper said, the lock-n-lube is a game changer. Love the pneumatic gun.

I'm new to owning a grease gun. what is proper storage? hang it from the "crotch" of lever/can?
Also, when switching grease, does one do a full cleanout, or just waste the last bit of grease in the gun prior to actually using the new flavor?
