ARES 71036 - Professional Lever Action Grease Gun - Heavy Duty Construction - Features 400cc Bulk and 14-Ounce Cartridge Loading - Variable Stroke Design with 10,000 PSI Max Pressure

The old grease gun i had before stopped working, so i found this one to replace it. I do all maintenance on my vehicles / lawn equipment myself. The first thing i noticed when i took it out of the box was the construction. This is not made out of the thin cheap metal like my old one. It is built like a professional grade product. Plus it is super comfortable in my hand with the cushioned grip. I used it today to grease my riding mower fittings, and worked like a champ!

very good grease gun,makes it much easier to use than others i have used.the handle is very comfortable and easy to deliver the power necessary.

Good Value

Works as advertised. It was easy to load and easy to use on my boat trailer.

I have used grease guns for nearly 50 years, but I needed a new one. This one looked good and solid so I bought it a little over a year ago . Unfortunately, it doesn't work very well. The grease gun coupler will not fasten securely to the grease fittings on the car, even if you attempt to hold in in place with your hand. When you push on the lever of the gun, the grease squirts out between the coupler and the fitting, and no grease actually gets into the joint. Watch the video that Ares provides, and you will see what I mean. At 46 seconds into the video, the fellow removes the coupler from the grease fitting, and you can see a huge blob of grease that should have gone into the joint but didn't. I called the company and requested a new coupler, and they kindly sent me a complete new grease gun. Sadly, it worked no better than the first one. Also, the pressure release valve is poorly placed, and it is very easy to bump during use, releasing grease all over the place.I see that the grease gun is currently unavailable (September 2021). Maybe it is being redesigned. It certainly should be. In its current form, I do not recommend it.

I had a track tensioner that wouldn't adjust on my 30,000 pound excavator. My 6,000 psi grease gun wouldn't do squat. So I purchased this 10,000 psi gun. Note that I probably well-exceeded 10,000 psi - considering I placed my entire body weight into the lever-arm as I was pulling on it. Honestly I expected the grease gun to break the way I was abusing it. The good news is that the track idler finally adjusted, and the grease gun still works like new. Thus before you go an buy an expensive 15,000 psi grease gun, give this one a try.

After 30+ years my old gun failed. This seems to be even of heavier construction than my previous one and I like the bleeder ability to prime it. Be sure to get a rubber hose attachment as it makes these far useful in tight places.

Great apart from the grease leaking every time between the tip and the grease fitting on the machine..
