clear grease gun

[spasm3]

Interested in this gun, Its a bit pricey but USA made. I like the ability to see the cartridge so you know what you have in there. I have an older 20+ year old no name gun that might be a lincoln.

Anyone used one? 10,000psi. SAE brand, not familiar with the brand.

It always seems like clear plastic + petroleum products = eventual cracking/brittleness...

It's not 1997 anymore, I'm sure there are plenty of clear plastics that can resist solvents. I wonder how it looks after 5 tubes of grease are ran through it though, yuck!

Not to be a questioning type but I have not seen a Made in USA grease gun with a plastic body and I really wonder if this is accurate period. Most US made grease guns I see are NOS or are well over $100.00 dollars. This gun looks identical like the imported guns sold by others and the other items sold by these people all look imported to me.

You're going to see the outside of the grease cartridge is all that's going to do for you. It's nice that it's made in USA though.

After looking around, i'm wondering if it is imported as well. Maybe they screwed the tube to the head and called it made in usa. The SAE website makes no claims of a usa manufacture.

BTW what's the shipping cost to you? I'm a Prime member and though no Prime shipping, it's showing $51 to Hawaii.

No cost for prime members here.

No reviews yet? Wait a year or two. Seems like a gimmick. Dropping it would ruin a $70 grease gun.

For not much more you can get a very good gun.

Agreed. It's not that big of a deal if you run out of grease with a regular grease gun. Just put in a new tube and continue on.
