I own a few M18 Milwaukee tools, 3/4 fuel impact being my favorite. That said, im curious if any of you own or have used the M18 grease gun. I would want to know how well it tightened up tracks (tensioners) on mid size excavators and dozers? If it had the power/pressure to perform such tasks? Thank you.
We are loving our FUEL tools as well so I am curious about this too. Hopefully someone has some feedback.
I got the m12 grease gun I love it and it tightens tracks on my excavator just fine. I'm sure the 18 has even more power, but my 12v works great for all I need and 1 battery will shoot 4 tubes of grease
I use an m18 at work. Works good I just wish he would put a better tip on it. Like the lock n lube locking tip. Overall the gun is great. guys at work dont clean it or anything so its a pain to use without getting dirty .
It works great, in low range it can produce up to 10k psi, tracks are no problem.
They work great, I've got several of them. They work better than my memory hence the need to have one in all my trucks so I don't have to remember to grab one.
About 3 years ago I was in the market for a new grease gun. At that time I had a number of Lincoln and a couple of Alemite guns that seemed to work ok but constantly had battery issues. So, after reading some reviews and talking to some people I thought I would try a Millwaukee. I went with the M12 only because it seemed like it was described as being a little more of 'industrial type' tool' than the M18. That all being said, I can't say a bad word about the M12 after being used daily on mid sized dozers, excavators and scrapers for about 3 years. Other than the zipper on the case it comes in, which is kind of a minor detail in my book. Just my $.02
I have the M12 and it works great. Tightens the dozer chains just fine. I think the most impressive thing though is how it empties a tube of grease. I bet there isn't a spoonfull left, my old grease gun wasted allot of grease.
I just bought one for greasing a customer's cotton harvesting equipment and have been really impressed with it. The one supplied battery lasts a long time and has plenty of pressure in the low speed, and is very fast in high speed. I had to replace a D5M track adjuster right after I bought it and was happily amazed at how it tightened the track back up in no time! Not having to be in a position to operate a lever gun or tire my hand out with a pistol grip is really nice.
