Bravex Air Operated Grease Gun 14oz Automatic Professional Continuous Cycle Pneumatic

Disappointed with this gun. I work for a forklift sales and service company and needed something to help make my job faster and be more efficient. I read a lot of the reviews about this brand but what had me sold was, one of my co workers has this same grease gun. After using his a few times, I thought this was a quality product and very good for the price so I bought it. When I received it, I tried using it the next day, put a fresh tube of grease in, primed it, put a few drops of air tool oil in, pulled the trigger and grease shot out...great. When I put it to actual use...nothing. Not to mention that I had to disassemble the tip to get it off the fitting every time. Tried it again, same result. I had to rapid fire the trigger like a semi-auto but it wouldn't pump any grease. Not happy with it. I'll be looking into returning this item if I can.Update to this review: I've been contacted by a representative from Bravex named Joey for an exchange for free or a refund. I have to say, I'm impressed with their customer service thus far and have agreed to an exchange. I'll see how the new grease gun works out. Thank you.I've up graded Bravex's rating to 5 stars for the new grease gun I was sent as my exchange, the geese gun works excellent. But what impressed me the most was their true dedication to customer service. They did not hesitate to reach out to me to make everything right and send a replacement. Bottom line, I'm very happy with the tool and the Bravex company/brand.

I feel like they should mention that the air fitting threads on this is a 1/8 inch pipe which is an incredibly uncommon size for a coupler. Nobody in the entire city I live in has an air coupler that will fit into this tool so I have to either buy an adapter for 1/8 inch to 1/4 inch then use a regular plug, or spend another decent amount of money on an air fitting that would be 99 cents at harbor freight if it would just have been a standard size. If I'm missing something please let me know maybe the solution is simpler than I am making it out to be.

Update! All products can be good or not. Customer service is the hallmark of a good company. I was contacted by the distributor about their disappointment in my experience and stated that they were using my comment to improve the product. This is excellent an response. I got a second unit hoping for better results, Same issue. Oh well...The item came with a plug inserted in the side dispenser. To use this in a side coupling, this plug had to be screwed out and the other threaded adapter then screwed into the side. Following that, the plug had to be reinserted into the top dispensing port. Upon initially trying to remove the plug from the top I noticed slight difficulty and resistance. This was due to the assembler having cross threaded the plug and having stripped the threads of both the plug and the inside threads. Then I noticed the same had happened to the dispensing adapter. This is very disappointing as this item has everything else needed to make a great grease gun. But to ever want to switch to a different configuration would render it useless. Exceedingly bad quality control. I did get the item configured for side dispensing and it worked great for that use only. If I ever wanted to use all of the features of this I would be out of luck. Very unhappy with the severe lack of quality control and materials used. I otherwise really wanted to like this item a lot.

Buen producto, exelente precio

Okay, just so anybody reading this knows I'm not just some backyard mechanic. I've been a prototype engineering tech for 20+ years. Certified in everything from mig, tig, machining, tech and a degree in mechanical engineering. Almost all my tools are Matco, Snap-on or S&K. So I'm not just talking out my proverbial @ss here.Worst mating surfaces on any product I've ever owned. I bought it to lube the triple bearings on my HD Touring. Worked great for that. After that it leaked out every orifice on the thing. Threaded, sealed or press-fit it didn't matter. Relieved the plunger to take the pressure off even before putting it away, tied a bag over the zirk fitting because we all know the residue will leak out a bit. But after this thing bleed everywhere I took it apart, cleaned every surface, thread and o-ring. Used pipe tape where applicable and put it all back together. Leaked just as bad but through every orifice that I have no control over. So don't bother. If it's a one time use and you want to spend the money/time to get it then it'll work fine. Just don't put it in a box or anywhere you can't handle the mess later. For those that will question the quality of the lube just in case....well, it was pretty expensive high temp stuff. I don't want grease running down my triple/forks in the alabama heat.

It is a pain to load a tube of grease..the rubber plunger does not go into it easily.And it pressures out and stops on the rear-end of a concrete pump. I recommend an electric one

Put in john deere extra thick grease cartridge. Easy to load and air pocket eliminated within seconds of pulling trigger.Used old 1 gallon compressor with regulator set at 40. Grease shot out each time with simple pull of trigger. one shot or 2 shots, then a continuous trigger pull-equal to about 10 single shots for my snowthrower auger. Worked flawlessly on 5 of my machines and on 3rd cartridge. Now I have 7 extra manual pistol trigger and pump grease guns that I'll never use again.This gun also never leaks.

My levered grease gun of many years was becoming a hassle to use and decided it was time for a new one. I bought this Bravex unit purposely for its pistol grip. It comes with instructions; very easy to use and definitely well constructed. I also purchased an Ease2U quick coupler to use with this and made greasing up all the zerk fitted ball joints and bushings so easy.
