I need to buy a new grease gun. The last two I had were cheap parts store pieces of crap. I dumped them. I've been reading and it seems good brands are:

Lincoln
Alemite
Plews

(in no particular order)

I don't need a pneumatic gun, just a standard style.

What do you guys use?

Looks like Alemite might be made in China now.

Here's a Lincoln:

The lever action's nice, especially when you're laying under the car with a fitting that keeps popping the hose off while you're trying to pump.

This gun was delivered yesterday. It doesn't say "Made in USA" anywhere on the box, so I'm assuming it's overseas somewhere. However, the quality of this gun is apparent just taking it out of the box. It is quite hefty. The construction seems very solid, much better tolerances, etc than the cheap ones. I think it will work out well. It is large so it might be hard getting in to tight places, but comes with a long flexible hose. Looking forward to testing it out.
