Often Disappointed!
> 3 dayBeing an admitted Milwaukee fan boy and collector with a tractor and a zero turn mower to grease what choice did I have but to get this grease gun! The only thing it needed was a lock and lube connector and it is fantastic. Ill be able to forget about the price in a couple of months!

> 3 dayFor now, my rating of this gun is 4.5. Unfortunately, I only get to display 4 or 5 so 4 it is. I havent got to use the gun yet, but I expect it to work just fine on my hobby farm small equipment. Should I have reason to alter that opinion, I will update this review. With that said, I want to focus on the #1 complaint about this gun. How hard it is to prime it. Others have already suggested relacing the OEM barrel with the barrel off a different gun. This may well work as I have no reason to doubt others words. However, I think there is a simpler more cost effective solution. Just like many others, I couldnt get the gun to prime on the first cartridge load, but I was aware of this issue from reading reviews and didnt panic. Although I couldnt find a video or write up specifically talking about how to do what Im going to explain, I figured out what to try based on context clues from a few videos. Here is what I found. For some reason, possibly because the plunger is stuck or because there is a blockage in the path of the grease that the spring isnt strong enough to overcome, the plunger us not moving down. No amount of trigger pulling will make the gun work if the plunger isnt feeding down the tube. No amount of pushing the air release valve will work. So what I did was pull the rod back out without locking it in place. This was the first clue, the rod should not stay fully retracted all by itself. So I turned the rod until it seemed to lock into the plunger. There is no positive stop, you can turn the rod 3000 degrees. But if you stop at short intervals in the rotation, the rod seems to lock on the plunger. While holding the air relief valve, I pressed on the rod against the plunger and with a bit of force (not a ton), I heard a pop and the plunger pushed down the tube and grease shot out of the air reliefe hole. I turned the rod till it disconnected from the plunger, pushed it all the way back in, pulled the trigger and hey presto, the gun started feeding grease. Youre welcome. I expect the reason a new barrel resolves the problem is because the plunger is getting stuck for some reason and the spring isnt strong enough to un stick it. Other barrels probably dont have a sticking issue. There may be some small defect in the barrels that come on the gun. But that issue may clear up once it gets broke in. Even if it doesnt, now you know how to deal with it.
