Lincoln Power Luber :D

Week before last, I finally nailed down the newer version (14.4v) Lincoln Power Luber. It arrived early this past week so I let it have its initial 12-hour charge and then used it this weekend. I know everyone has their own ideas and methods of getting grease into their respective fittings yet this thing is an impressive "play toy" for those needing to grease alot of fittings. Some of our tractor related items require what seems like constant greasing so I opted not to replace my old Lincoln with another lever pump. This rechareable is nice if you like treating yourself to such things. My worn out one was becoming nearly a two person job and replacement parts were just not worth it for me.

This product gets a thumbs up from me.
Steve

I've been real tempted to get a power caulker now and then. Somedays, especially cold days, your hand takes a real beating squeezing that stuff out.

Indoor painters caulk is pretty easy but some of the outdoor stuff in the big tubes... oh ouch, hello early arthritis.

My sister-in-law, uses the air powered version for neutral cure silicone caulking insulated glass units. That is also what she used when sealing my '87 300TD rear glass. Though she has been doing this for years and must have the technique down better than most, she claims the ease and control of the mechanical air/electric do a better job when having to spend so much time applying it. After reading your reply, I'll have to ask her if she has ever thought of trying one of the battery powered units. I guess with most of her work being in shop, the compressed air makes sense. However, when she is doing favors for the family members the portable would seem to make sense. Maybe I'll have to get her one for the next holiday . . . thanks for the thought.
