Plews Edelmann 18V Grease Gun

[hvy 1ton]

Has anyone had any experience with this gun? Northern Tool has them for 250 compared to the 200 for the 14.4V Lincoln. One plus is the 18V comes with 2 batteries. It is 80 for a second 14.4V battery. I have never heard of Plews Edelmann and have never used any of there stuff. Info on the general quality of their products or specific gun would be much appreciated.

We use a lincoln at work and other than needing a new battery it works pretty dang well. A few years old and still going strong. Haven't heard of Plews either.

I just bought the 14.4 Lincoln from Northern and it works beautifully. I dont think the off brand you've never heard of is worth more money just because it comes with a second battery.

Plews used to make the oil cans with the spout or nozzle on them for oiling oil cups etc on electric motors and whatever.I keep one near my lathe and another one in my toolbox on my truck.I mostly use the one on my truck to oil the pins that won't take grease after someone else has been running the machine and not greasing it properly.Usually after a day or two of squirting the pin with oil it will start taking grease again.
I don't know how the Plews name translates into the grease gun business but that is some of their heritage anyway.Ron G

I had a bucket pin on my backhoe that I could not get to take grease. I had changed the fitting with no luck and even tried removing the fitting and running a small drill bit in to open it up with no sucess. Today I removed the fitting and sprayed WD40 in the opening before using the backhoe. At the end of the day I tried it and it now takes grease. RonG thank you for the idea.

Plews is an old line manufacturer of maintenance items and have a decent reputation. They don't advertise much and I'm not sure they have a national presence.

I bought a Lincoln and it worked good till I placed it on the tire and it fell to the ground. They wanted more to fix it than I paid which was 200-250. THen I could not get the parts myself to fix it. Dam plastic piece.
