Cool Tools: Our ‘ultimate companion,’ the DeWalt Grease Gun

By Dustin Simpson
Join me as I share what we like to call “Cool RV Tools.” These are tools and gadgets that we actually use in the RV industry and in my repair shop. I believe they will be helpful to you when you need to make repairs while out on the road.

Today, I’m introducing you to the DeWalt 20 Volt Max Cordless Grease Gun. It’s our ultimate companion for daily tasks in our shop!

Our team relies on this powerful tool, especially during wheel bearing packs and greasing shackle links. With a motor that delivers an impressive 10,000 max PSI, it effortlessly powers through clogged grease fittings.

Designed for high-flow applications, this battery-powered grease gun can pump up to 5 oz. per minute, making quick work of even the toughest jobs. The variable speed trigger allows you to control grease flow with precision, while the 42-inch flexible hose ensures easy access to hard-to-reach fittings on your RV and other vehicles.

Say goodbye to hand fatigue from manual pumping or squeezing with a standard grease gun. The DeWalt Cordless Grease Gun not only saves time but also makes your work more efficient and comfortable.

I thought about buying one, till I seen the price. I’m also a little hesitant buying Dewalt tools because they don’t seem to last for me.

I’m not a fan of powered grease guns.

Yeah, they’re fast, powerful and require less effort to move grease but they eliminate the greaser’s ability to feel the flow and worse, can blow out seals.

If you have a grease joint that has the bushing turned or shattered, you can feel that in the handle and can investigate upon discovery. With a pressure greaser, not so much. Ball joints, U-Joints, shackles and links only need a couple of squirts periodically so there’s not many calories saved avoiding the manual gun.

Of course, if you’re on the lube truck at a mine or construction site with 50 pieces to lube and fuel, that’s a pony of a different pigment…

Thanks for the discussion, Dustin! I can see a shop having an electric grease gun, but it seems overkill for an RV owner. Maybe the tech that services our motorhome has one, but it just doesn’t seem to be something that I need. Have a great weekend and safe travels!6
