Ive got a pneumatic grease gun thats pretty nice. A battery powered one would be the cats ****.

I like that SO impact. I haven't seen one in good used condition in a while and new is obscenely expensive. My dewalt 18v impact is on its last leg so I guess Ill be replacing it with something soon.

every 2 months i grease the ball joints, tie rod ends, and universals in everything at home. the dump trucks get grease every 2 weeks. machines get greased after each use. i use 3 -4 tubes a year at home, and we use around 35 gallons per year in work.

Weekly payments and 18..5% financing on a tool? No thanks.

Thats why I keep my Snap-on tools in a Harbor Freight box. I wasnt paying more of a toolbox than I paid for my shop...regardless of how nice it is or how long it lasts.

I will dish out good money for good tools as long as they are regularly used like a battery powered impact or 1/2 drive socket set. I will not pay their obscenely overpriced prices (or payments) for a generic item thats basically the same as any other similar tool. IE $150 for 6 standard screwdrivers. Ill use my 6.99 HF Chinese pos ones and buy a new set after i break, bend, lose, throw or etc one.

Oh, and Tom.....

I hate you

Id like to find one in similar condition for even twice that. They are in the $6-650 range new and I always seem to be bidding against 20 other a-holes on Ebay for what I hope is a decent used impact.

If I dont find one soon I guess im going to give the IR gun a try.
