Vložit
- čas přidán 5. 12. 2020
- BRANDS TESTED: Milwaukee, Dewalt, Ryobi One+, Ingersol Rand, and Performance Tool. Battery powered grease guns tested for output rate without any resistance, with 150 PSI flow resistance, and maximum PSI. Brands also tested for pumps per minute, output per pump, noise level, ergonomics, ease of priming, and battery recharge time. Will any of the brands deliver 10,000 PSI? Will any deliver 10 ounces per minute? Let's find out! I always purchase all of the products tested. No sponsors on the Project Farm channel. It's all about unbiased testing. Hope you find this video helpful.

You should test alemite an lincoln with milwaukee i tink they are by far the beat 3 brand
I would love to see another and test a lincoln grease gun
They all have 2 speed transmission
I'd like to see Lincoln in the mix also
Have you thought about testing break-in methods for new engines? some people say slowly and some people say hard and fast
Me: I have absolutely no need for a grease gun.
Also me: I am stoked to watch a PF video testing grease guns.
Right lol
Same here. Woulda been handy when I worked on semi trucks but I don't plan on ever crawling under a semi truck again. But I'll always give Todd my view n support what he does for all of us
That's exactly what I was thinking. I'm actually surprised that all the primary cordless brands have a grease gun option. Milwaukee is usually the one who makes a 12v or 18v version of the most obscure tools on the planet.
his videos are so good that you gotta watch them even if you dont need the product
The Performance Tool brand went from $90 to $165 since PF bought it. OUTRAGEOUS!
I know I've said it before, but the amount of time and money that you put into your videos is incredible. I cannot think of any other channels that come close. Great video!
Wow, thank you very much! By the way, I really enjoy the video you published today!
Agree, he's also very thorough, fair and honest. I learn a lot from his videos, A+ content on his channel.

A tip on bleeding air from grease guns. Screw the tube halfway in then trip the release for the plunger and then tighten the tube the rest of the way. This almost always eliminates the need to bleed air between tubes.
Great tip! Thanks
Yes, I've done that for years on hand pump type. And do it with the Milwaukee the company owns.
Take a little bit of grease and put it into the cap covering the holes. You will only need a few pumps to get grease through.
Since you seem to know about the use of these, how often are people using them? I can't imagine in an auto shop they would need to use it more than once per day unless some vehicles use a lot more grease fittings than I was aware.
@@acephantom903 probably more in heavy machinery/ industrial. boats, agricultural equipment, trains.
I bought my Milwaukee m 18 grease gun in 2016, still use it almost daily, and have never had any issue. It has saved me so much time and effort over the past few years, it’s easily one of the best tool purchases I’ve ever made.
Thanks for sharing.
I use one at work too and the thing is an absolute unit for pumping grease. It's well worth the price tag.
I might pick one up as my ryobi is easy to cross thread

Ingersoll Rand showing unabashedly that you're paying for a manufactures brand name and not for performance.
Thanks for the feedback.
They lost out on the air impact market so thought they would join the cordless game but all their cordless tools suck about as much as white box brands.
Its cause they crapped out with china manufacturing and cost cutting short cuts. Back in the days ingersoll was the gold standard for most commercial shops. sadly its in the toilet
so this is the power of modern german engineering...
Milwaukee had 2 speeds, thus 2 pressures and 2 flow rates, and it's unfair to the others to take the pressure of one setting and the flow of the other speed and declare it the absolute winner. Try comparing apples to apples, at the higher pressure (around 10000 psi) the Milwaukee had less flow rate than the Ryobi.
Ingersoll Rand seems like they try to get the "oh look expensive, that must mean good" effect to their brand. What a joke.
*Snap-On* “Am I a joke to you?”
Don't forget their tool came with a charger and battery, which other than the first one, none of the others did. That factors into the price. I've noticed Ingersoll Rand doesn't have good battery tools, but their air tools are really good.
@@douglastytko9572 yeah a lot of what they make is more for commercial use like assembly lines
Ingersoll rand is one of the best pneumatic tools. Too bad they're not gotten into the battery game yet
@@Hohnurz right lol they were amazing with their pneumatics but man their battery tech just plain sucks lol its like they really have no idea what they are doing and trying to play ball with the big boys of Snap-on, Milwaukee and Dewalt. lmao
Really like all the comparisons. Milwaukee was the clear winner, but Unless your using the tool daily, I think between the top 3 determining factor might come down to which brand(s) do you already have batteries for

No one uses it anyway. All tools are stored randomly all over the place so you can never find them when you need them.
That is the law.
The fact i can hold the tip on the fitting and use the gun with one hand was a game changer

Thanks so much!
I have a Milwaukee Fuel grease gun and I love it. That one does come with a shoulder strap which has come in handy when crawling over equipment. Awesome videos!
I didn't even know they made powered grease guns.
"We're gonna test that!"
Milwaukee is the only one that doesn't surprise me with cordless tool options. I swear there will probably be a Milwaukee M18 Butt-Wiping Grinder one day (it'd probably be a hot seller for the day after Thanksgiving).
Pneumatic are lighter. And I imagine they are stronger.

Thanks for another.great vid. Best greasing job I ever saw was when a mechanic installed several zerk fittings on coworkers 10 drawer machnist box and hooked up a air power greaser and filled box up with exrta heavy thick green grease. Box looked like a beating heart while he was doing it. Took the guy at least 4 hours to clean up.
Thanks for sharing!
I really like how this video is straight to the point, with all good information and content. No wasted time or rambling. I've turned off a lot of videos because they are so slow to get to the point.
Thank you very much! I have a tremendous respect for everyone's time. I try to keep the videos as short as possible without leaving out important details. Thanks again
yes and its REALLY annoying if the info is repeated several times throughout the video obviously can be repeated in a summary at the end
I feel bad for anyone who buys Ingersol Rand, that’s just robbery.
I mean, I agree with you, it isn't a good value. However, it was $263 for the tool AND battery (and other items), whereas the Milwaukee was $164 for JUST the tool. So, if you didn't have batteries already and had to buy one, it would probably be close to the price of the IR then. Now, the Milwaukee is by far a better tool. Plus, if you already have their batteries for other tools, then it's a no-brainer.
@@gregoryburgess2317 I’m talking performance wise it’s a rip off.
@@gregoryburgess2317 well, if i had no charger and such, i would still rather run the performance brand.
@@gregoryburgess2317 It was the most expensive and performed almost the worst. That's what he's getting at, you're paying the premium price for entry level performance
@@TakingSou1s Oh i totally agree
I got myself a Milwaukee grease gun earlier this year and it out performs everything else at my shop. Definitely one of my favorite Milwaukee purchases I've made. Even got one for at home not long after getting one to stay with my work tool set
@Sid The sloth I'm almost completely done with pneumatic. I have the DeWalt model grease gun for our farm, along with other tools. My pneumatic grease gun and pneumatic impact both sit in the bottom of my toolbox collecting dust. So much easier. And I can take it out on the tractor with me.
Great video. I’ve had the Milwaukee for 2 years and love it. Another great perk is they have so many high quality tools to use with the batteries you don’t end up with chargers all over and different brands. Milwaukee is a no brainer.
Thanks!

Don't need half the tools on here, I'm all for milwaukee. But the testkng you do is amazing. Been watching your videos for a while now and just noticed I have never subscribed(will do that now), they always come up on recommendations. Great channel.
Thanks for watching and subscribing!
I’m noticing a trend with Milwaukee tools... seems like they win or place in everything
They make a couple of turds but overall they have a very comprehensive and capable line of tools. Their Fuel stuff is just amazing. My M12 Fuel stuff goes neck and neck with my 18V bigger tools (Ryobi, DeWalt and Ridgid).
I remember when everyone around where I am bought DeWalt because it was much cheaper than Milwaukee. Now everyone is switching to Milwaukee when their DeWalt starts going to hell because Milwaukee cut the prices and kept the quality.
MILWAUKEE FTW
DeWalt wins top shelf in their chainsaw and older impact drivers.
Thanks for the feedback.
Future idea: cordless work lights! Such as the ones by Milwaukee, Ryobi, Makita, etc.. that run on the same batteries that the tools do.
Thanks for the video idea.
@jami w I think they mean comparing them all. Battery life, brightness, features, etc.
That's simple.
What batteries do you own?
Done.
Unless you have Milwaukee, then you have 15 different lights to choose from.
One thing to watch out with Ryobi tools is that you should use the bigger 4.0 amps battery for anything with a motor. The 1.5 and 2.0 doesn’t work as well with them.
I just got out of the army and when I go home will be doing maintenance on my families rental houses and repairs/maintenance of the farm equipment this video is very informative. A Showdown of battery powered framing or brad nailer would be greatly appreciated! The amount of stuff I learn about performance from your videos is crazy I really appreciate how honest you are with the reviews
Thanks so much!
I've put 5 tubes a grease through my Milwakee a day for over a year and it's still running strong.

@@missionDan why take it apart while still under warranty? Ask AvE.

I’ve been using my Milwaukee grease gun on all my equipment here on our dairy farm for about 2 years now. It’s probably the best money I’ve ever spent!
Great feedback! They save a lot of time!
my workplace has had a milwaukee grease gun for 5 or 6 years now, has held up great even though its not brushless, rubber still holds up nice (unlike what AvE says it will)
Whats the purpose of these. I’m curious
@@preparedlife3114
To grease fittings which generally put grease into beatings and other things. If you have ever used a manual grease gun, your generally holding that nozzle by hand so is on straight, while putting the grease gun body against something, including yourself, whole you other hand is pumping the handle. In general that sucks.
It's really bad in hard to get areas to do that. The Lock on nozzle is a must have which I learned about a year ago. That allows you to lock on the zerk fitting and use 2 hands on that grease gun. But you still have to let go one hand to take off and move to another and grab the gun with both hands again. Also sometimes the little ball that seals the zerk fitting gets stuck and you can't get the grease in with a manual grease gun.
With a powered grease gun. You can hold it and operate with one hand, and use your other hand to move th nozzle from one zerk to another quickly. If you use a locking nozzle, you don't even have to hold it in place. You also end up with a lot less waste of grease that tends to squart out around the nozzle at the same time it goes into the zerk. The power guns also have more force. So with locking nozzle you can generally force grease past a zerk.
Zerk fittings allow you to put grease into things without having to take things apart to get grease inside.
@@jbdragon3295 Anyone that has to load track adjusters on excavators, dozers, or track loaders either has a powered grease gun or a sore wrist and an angry disposition.
I didn't see this video before I bought my grease gun. I'm glad I got the Milwaukee one. I did about 4 oil changes at a shot. Love having the battery powered grease gun. It beats the heck out of a manual grease gun or using a air grease gun. Great job on all of the videos!
Thanks so much!
Was glad I came across this video. Just got a milwaukee grease gun for my birthday. Planning on using it for the first time this weekend. Glad to see I made the right choice for a present
Thanks for sharing. Happy Belated Birthday!
Oh, I bet this project was not cheap
Wow, companies still make NiCad batteries?
Ingersol Rand isn’t doing a good job justifying its price
You are right! Made the credit card sizzle. lol
Maybe it's the durability.
Everything Ingersoll rand is overpriced they got some nice electronics in them but I mean Milwaukee and dewault have plenty good enough electronics and get more work done so I mean do you want a tool that you thats slower and might last longer oh wait Milwaukee has a 5 year warranty .... hmmmmmm yea I cant justify anything Ingersoll rand.
@@21babydew ingersol rand has better air tools. More people are going electric so I can see why they want to join but after watching this maybe they should rethink that idea for a while
Nicad is generally much cheaper than lithium to implement, especially on charging circuitry. You don't need any balancing or cutoff circuitry to charge a nicad battery. An old school transformer and rectifier work fine to charge them, lithium is hideously complicated by comparison to charge.
I can't believe how bad Ingersoll Rand did in this test. And for the price!
Not a bare tool...if you had to buy battery and charger, it likely wouldn’t be so expensive by comparison.
Yeah we use them at work and they suck. Their batteries are horrible. They need to stick with pneumatics.
Anytime I’m unsure of a tool product I always check this channel before I buy, the unbiased testing you do is great!
Thanks!
Watched a few comparison videos of yours in the last hour or two.... And you are doing a good job at making me glad I've invested my money in the Milwaukee ecosystem
Thank you very much!
Hmm... That Ingersol Rand seems suspiciously like a run of the mill unbranded gun that's been badge engineered.
Thanks for the feedback.
The Ryobi and Milwaukee are probably made in the same plant as well, since they are owned by the same company.
The IR looks to be a rebadged PT tool.
Everything from IR is just rebranded. They are the rebranding champs!
What a garbage design from IR considering they’re the most expensive and probably have been around the longest. No light, no stand.
The light and stand really help, especially on equipment that's stored outside
I agree, considering the price and name on it I would expect much better.
I'll bet some manager decided to save some money and rebadge a generic Chinese gun and to cover all of the returns jack the price up $100+ dollars over a well made gun.
@@dirtroadsailing6418 that or they borrowed the tooling kind of like the dewalt and craftsman battery lights
Ingersoll isn't the same company as thirty years ago... They've gone through numerous owners recently and their consumer tools have downgraded significantly to offshore manufacturing, yet they still price them like a premium tool.
I was looking at buying a Milwaukee grease gun and this just made my mind up, thanks for the effort you put into your vids, they are no bullshit and unbiased. Cheers Gaz

This!
They don't make it very clear that it's a built in feature, or tell you how to use it and they only give you the strap with the full blown tool kit.
If you buy the bare tool and want the strap you need to order #45-56-0125, usually only runs about $6 to $8
Bought a rebuilt Milwaukee kit with the charger and a battery and it came with a strap. Very nice tool!

Thats the gen z showing....
Best thing about the milwaukee Grease Gun is that you can select between constant or 1-10 pumps per trigger pulled. Its sometimes actually pretty hard to know how much grease you have put into something with these electric greasers, especially if its in a spot where you cant see much, you end up guessing and its either not enough or you have made a massive mess and wasted grease.

I was thinking of getting a Milwaukee before watching this and now I will definitely go with that brand! Your videos are very insightful and help me make informed decisions on equipment purchases!
Thanks for the feedback.
I have been using a pneumatic grease gun and impact gun for years and bought the Ryobi. I decided it was time to go cordless just like I did with my 1/2” drive impact gun. After extensive research I bought the Harbor Freight Earthquake XT 20 volt 1/2” drive cordless impact and couldn’t be happier. The Earthquake hits like a jackhammer. I have yet to find a fastener it can’t remove. I also bought the Ryobi grease gun and I’m very happy with the purchase. I have a whole collection of Ryobi tools that have served me well for years. I upgraded to the lithium 18 volt batteries and have several of them. Buying the grease without the battery was a no brainer for me. Just wanted to send you a big thanks for another unbiased Project Farm review. You are my go to guy whenever I need a new tool...!
You are welcome! Thanks for sharing.
Video Idea. Test out different brand wire wheels and how they hold up.
Thanks for the idea!
Pro-tip: when you have to clear a grease fitting thats packed with mud or dirt around it, use a construction pencil to clear beside it. The size is just right.
Thanks for the suggestion.

Always love your reviews. Something I have been wondering about buying is a Cordless Leaf Blower. They seem like cordless chainsaws, more convenient then corded, not as powerful as gas but less maintenance. It would be interesting to see how they stack up.
Thanks for the suggestion.
Milwaukee seems to have their shit in gear at the moment. Hopefully they keep that way and give makita and Dewalt a run for their money and create a competitive market.
Thanks for the feedback.
Milwaukee is already extremely competitive. Their yearly revenue is 3.7 billion, Dewalt is 4 billion, and Makita is 4.6 billion
Milwaukee is doing a great job lately, and, I own Dewalts. Milwaukee keeps winning. I keep wondering if I should buy in to another battery line.
All I see around the job sites is Makita, Milwaukee, and DeWalt.
The guys that buy their own tools buy the teal and red. Company tools generally yellow. Dewalt is only staying relevant because of their pricing for company accounts. When you don't get that price break you tend to buy what doesn't fail nearly as often.
I like the added scoring chart at the end. Using a point system for each characteristic of the tool helped provide a more objective way of determine a winner. It also lets people see what might fit their needs the best depending on how much each attribute matters to them. Very well done!
Thank you very much!
You helped me decide which one to buy. I just bought a TYM tractor, backhoe and brush hog with many zerks to grease. Thanks, you're the best!

milwaukee all around is really crushing it.
I love the one I have at work that I got about a year ago. Along with one of them locking nozzles for work. I wish I got one years ago!!!!. Makes the job much easier and quicker and does a far better job getting the grease into the zerk. Waste far, far less grease.
Thanks for watching.
Only ones that have lasted at the farm I work at are Milwaukee. they have a graveyard or ryobis, ingersols, air ones And dewalts.
@@aaronhayden1780
That’s great to know since that’s what I have. Getting the lock on nozzle is a must have. You don’t waste all that grease shutting out around the nozzle instead of going into the zerk fitting. It will still fit into the nozzle storage place.
Yes, the tools are great, but the batteries are just too conservative with their protection circuits and cut out quickly when under heavy load- didn't happen in this test, but you can see the Milwaukee batteries crapping out in other tests well before the other brands even though the tool itself was doing pretty well before the battery pooped.. I find I really like the Dewalt batteries and with adapters so easy to buy or 3d print, I've got Ryobi, Dewalt and Milwaukee tools as well as a number of Chinese made house brand tools, but pretty much only run Dewalt batteries..

Thanks for the video suggestion!
My take away: Buy the brand that matches the batteries you already have.
Thanks for the feedback
Unless it’s Ingersoll Rand.
Generally what I do. At work I use Milwaukee, at home Ryobi.. I will never use a grease gun at work so ryobi for me at home
Lucky me! I have all Milwaukee power tools.
I have milwaukee, Dewalt and Ryobi and the universal battery adapter so they're all using Dewalt batteries.
This is my favorite episode . If you do a round 2 add Lincoln grease gun in the mix. I appreciate the hard work you put in these videos for us to watch 🇺🇸
Thanks so much! Thanks for the video idea for 2nd round.
THANK YOU for adding the Ryobi into the testing mix!
You are welcome!
My coworker and I both have the DeWalt grease gun. My coworker has ran over his with a semi 7 TIMES. Still works like a charm
Wow! Durable! I should have tested them using the Farmabago. lol
@@ProjectFarm in all honesty I was hoping you would've done a durability test
Made in the USA!
Dang I didn't even realize that this was a tool that existed lol. Learning new things is cool.
Thank you!
There are also air powered grease guns
@@ravenbarsrepairs5594 air powered grease gun sounds like a massive pain to use unless youre in a shop
Farmers won't tell you, only computer scientists turned farmer like Todd are giving away farmers secrets...
Dewalt seem to making some strange tools nowdays, even for the professional trader. Dewalt must make low numbers of them say 1000.
Ive used the milwaukee daily for over 2 years and its been a fantastic tool. Great for jobs that are not near an airline, and would take too long with a hand pump.
Thanks for sharing.
We use the Milwaukee guns at work, and they are phenomenal. When its below freezing its the only grease gun we have that can push grease into the bushings on our CAT 980 loader. Great product.
Thanks for sharing.
Any issues on the air bubbles and getting no flow like the manual units
@mrmotofy Yes, when switching tubes it will stall occasionally, but its far less finnicky than hand units or our older Alemite guns to clear the air pocket and get it operating again.
I can't wait to get settled in with a coffee in a comfy chair for a great report every time I get the YT notification for Project Farm! Never disappoints. Best objective and thorough real world product reviews on the planet!
Thanks for watching!
I'd love to see a shop tour or meet project farm Christmas special!
Great suggestion! Thank you
Haha, aint no meet n greets with all this Covid stuff going on
@@chrishernandez2490 We're gonna test that!
@@chrishernandez2490 hes talking about a tour of the shop for a video
@@katalinakrew8865 he also said "or meet project farm".
I like all of your videos. You do a great job at showing real tests. It really helps to knowing which products work best when your running a company. I would be interested in the future seeing a test of battery powered caulk guns. There is none of these guns in our stores, but I have considered wanted to invest in them, but it's difficult to find any information about cordless caulk guns. And I hate to order them blind and just guess and brand.
Thanks so much! Thanks for the video idea.
Last month my boss got the Dewalt kit with a battery and charger for like $199. It’s been great to use in our diesel shop. I like the single speed. I don’t actually remember it having a light but we tend to use stick or flood lights anyways instead of the lights on power tools.
Thanks for the feedback.
This gives me flashbacks to AvE cutting things with bursting hydraulic hoses
Great point!
yep my head went to the same place
I need a t shirt with “we gonna test that”
Thank you!
@@ProjectFarm Project Farm "Swag!" Thanks Othman. Now I need a PF "We're Gonna Test That!" shirt.
Ah Ha! It is available! On the website that I just found out about! project-farm.com/collections/all

Yessssssss
Very enlightening and Im sure it took a while to make this video. I appreciate it.
One of the few products that I have never used but still found it very informative and enjoyable. Thank you for your hard work!
Thank you!
always enjoy the cadence and organization of your videos. They are very thorough and relaxing to watch!
Thanks so much!
When loading a new tube of grease most grease guns have a groove at 90 degree on the rod that locks in the plunger and allows you to push grease up into the tool to help eliminate the air lock
Twist the rod back 90 degrees and slide it back in and it’s ready to go
Really helpful when it’s cold outside
Thanks for sharing.
Thank you so much for the video! I almost just bought the Milwaukee but bought an elamite 597b instead. The Alemite I already have works perfectly fine but the batteries bit the Dust. So if anyone wants to buy up Alemite 585 I have it lol I never got that right, loading the new cartridge. I thought the handle had to stay out to push the grease in while you were using it, but now I see you push the handle all the way in with the new cartridge. Thank you thank you thank you!!
You are welcome!
