  The red monster needs alot of grease. The modern work trucks I drive use onboard pneumatic lube, but I don't know how good they are. All that humidity down there, its good you got after it......

  Grease and a grease gun has an astounding amount of power in it. I once made an adapter plug to screw into a spark plug with a grease fitting and easily budged a seized piston in an engine that i was trying to get freed up for a friend. The electric guns are definitely a good tool.

  I am looking for an air grease gun set up . I don't have much luck with anything that has a battery for it . Finding all the nipples can get interesting some days . I can always count on a mess with grease or oil lines . Actually I can make a mess doing anything . lol

  Good tools, got my first Ryobi in 2009.

  One of the original Ni-Cd packs is still in use.

  Ryobi tools used to be almost bulletproof when they were actually Japanese-made. I bought a 3/8" plug-in hand drill back in 1975, and it lasted me with hard usage until a few years ago, when it got really noisy after drilling through a concrete wall with it.

  My old hand grease gun had died in California, so I abandoned it in place. Been thinking about an air version as well as the Jeep has zerks.

  I have had a dewalt one for a while, they are great. Mine has a pretty long hose so even though it is heavy it can sit on something and still reach most zerks. Did you read your book , sometimes they like to hide some.
