"This purchase didn’t start out as a satisfying experience, but it certainly ended up that way.
I’m the maintenance manager at a hot form, forge, head and thread job shop with 100,000 square feet of heavy manufacturing equipment. Our equipment ranges from a 1600 ton capacity forge to 75 ton trim presses with just about everything in between. The point is we pump a lot of grease through our equipment and that requires a reliable delivery system.
We tried less expensive brands and learned our lesson. Now it’s Lincoln and only Lincoln brand for our shop and the best place to purchase is right here at Northern Tool.
Yes, I shopped around and ended up wasting my time, Northern Tool had the best price our there.
As for the other less expensive brands, if you pump a lot of grease, steer clear of them. You will wear them out quick, parts are not available. That makes for unhappy situations and wasted resources."
