Have gone through 4 grease guns in the past year, anyone have any recommendations on where to get a good grease gun that will last? Have bought the last ones from autozone, walmart and sears.

I have a Blue Point grease gun that's probably 30 years old and still working fine. I believe they're still made. Not sure if they are still made as well. What's breaking on yours?

They keep losing pressure so the grease doesn't come up, usually end up having to hand feed it.

You talking about the cartridge-style hand pump grease gun? If so, does it have a bleeder valve? Just a thought.. Sometimes they air lock and you have to bleed the air out. Unscrewing the cap a turn or two temporarily sometimes lets the air out too.

I have a Lincoln battery powered grease gun, works great. The only draw back is that it is a little heavy.

I'll have to take some pics when I go by my dads today. My grease gun runs on compressed air and hooks up to a big *** grease drum. I'd say get one of those but he scored it when furrows laid him off for dirt cheap.
