Lincoln 1133 Pistol Grip Grease Gun with 18" Whip Flex Hose and Coupler, 2-Way Loading, 6,000 PSI, One-Hand Operation, Dual-Lip Follower, Standard Grease Cartridges, Jam-Proof Toggle, Cast Pump Head

Was looking for a quality grease gun that wouldn’t break the bank and this was it. Used it a couple times so far and it’s been perfect. Highly recommend.

I just received this in the mail. All comments regarding quality of construction appear true. If you read over the comments regarding the Lincoln 1134, you will see a few reviews discussing the coupler (piece that fits over the zirc). The 1133 I received has the coupling that is tightened such that I can't loosen it to fit over a zirc with just my fingers. There are a couple very good reviews for the 1134 that should apply to this gun as well. Tonight I'll attempt to loosen with some channel locks and vice grips (covered to avoid tool marks). If it works well and I can loosen without damage I will upgrade my rating.ADDENDUM (15 OCT 12)The coupling warning is only a warning to the extent that you need to take a few minutes to figure out how to loosen it. Once done this grease gun works great. The hand grip pump is easy to use and does not require significant grip strength. Even if you have smaller hands this should work well for you. The part of the handle that moves is that portion that fits into your palm, therefore, your fingers don't actually have to fit around the handle. With one hand hold the blue tube, with the other push/squeeze the top portion of the handle. No leaks, except for minor overflow on the zirc. Be prepared with paper towels or a rag and no mess, no fuss.

this grease gun with the pistol is way better than the one with a pump handle

Looks like I was a victim also. See the post about the product being a Chinese knock-off of a Lincoln product. Bought this product in 2015. Used one time after receiving product. Did work, but plunger was difficult to operate. My unit has the same markings indicated in the previous post, although the box did have "Lincoln" printed on it.Added a new tube of grease today (3 years after initial purchase, but the grease gun had only been used the one time). Plunger was extremely difficult to close. Would never release grease...except around the plunger shaft at the base of the unit. Ruined a pair of jeans and a pair of shoes.Wish me luck in getting a replacement unit! Will let you know what I learn.Follow-up - I called Lincoln Tech Support. They were helpful. I was told that the product has a one year warranty, from the date of purchase. I mentioned the post suggesting that the product may not have been a Lincoln product. However, the rep said that it did sound to be a legitimate product of theirs based on what I said. Some of these products are manufactured in India. He did mention that there are YouTube videos about the product that might be helpful.Final review - 5 stars. Product works fine. My operator error. If I had watched the YouTube video, my problem would not have occurred. I was forcing the plunger closed, when all that was necessary was to release and push in. I did need to bleed the air with the hex head bolt, but only a little air released...no grease....before it worked.

Not sure what happened but I did receive the second time I ordered and it’s a quality tool.
