I've been pushing that dang button for 56 years. Thank you and please don't tell my wife that there was really nothing wrong with all those grease guns I threw in the trash.

I'm 60years old and I never knew just goes to show your never to old to learn .

My God, I've been greasing my tractor for the past 5 years and dreading it every time for the mess I would make trying to prime the damn thing. Thank you so much.

Thanks Jeff. Been fighting and blaming non-electric grease guns for 50 years! First time some of those small details were explained to me that made sense like you did. THANKS 🤠 Paul

Clear, simple, and to the point...but more importantly it works like a charm. You deserve all the thanks and praise you're getting!

Jeff, I have to say that I have had many people ask me questions about this grease gun and I have NEVER had this question answered as well, or so well, as your explanation. While I do not work for Dewalt, absolutely no one has explained in such detail how to use this tool. I commend you highly and will subscribe to your channel. As an aside, I can remember my father, when I was a child, adding grease to our old 1938 tractors on the farm and he would have loved to have had such a tool. You have done great service to Dewalt and explained a lot to their customers.

Thanks for the neat trick!!! Its such a relief that i wont have to keep switching to the manual one when i have to re-load, cheers!

Im a 23 year old young lady who has no knowledge of mechanical tools but this video made it so simple to figure out how to pump the grease. Thank you so much

I ran into this problem just this week on my second tube of grease. I was pissed. So glad you knew something I didn't and were willing to share.

Best video I've ever seen concerning grease gun set-up and bleeding. I was debating to buy the DeWalt but the videos I watched before your's made it seem too complicated. Now I have full confidence, so thanks for posting!

My name is Jeff and I learned something new today. Thank you for your efforts.

Super tip and great demonstration. Worked for me right off the bat. Thanks!!

Dude! You have just saved me a lot of time and frustration...thanks man!!

My Dad taught me that years ago on the farm. I am always amazed how many people don't know this! Thanks for helping educate the uneducated!

THANK YOU!!! I watched another video on this and that guy was doing it all wrong. No wonder I was having so much trouble. Thank you for excellent explanation of how the Dewalt gun works. I heading out right now to use my grease gun the RIGHT way.

Thanks for spending time to show us how to do things better!

Thanks a bunch, Ive taken a few steps away from the edge after this. And for the record, you have helped one Jeff and one Adam.

I learned a great lesson, I had NO idea that trick existed! Thank you, great information!

I've been farming since 1985 but still learning. I love your humble attitude and enjoy watching all your skills, only found you on youtube a week ago.

Thank You!!! I’ve been struggling with this for years. Your explanation was very clear and made it simple for me.

Thanks Jeff. Know I know why I have problems priming my 12v Lincoln grease gun. You taught me the tricks. Thanks buddy. God Bless.

I know that I'm really late to this party but I thank you for this video. I'm 73 years old and never knew this. Most senior citizens are not on a fixed income we are on a broken income so I have a pneumatic grease gun from Harbor Freight but I must tell you that you made this old man's day a lot better. I need to put a new grease cartridge in my grease gun to grease my tractor. I thank you. God bless and have a great day.

63-Year-Old farmer just got humbled. The old dog just learned a new trick. Very helpful. Thank you for the video.

Thank you-just got a Dewalt grease gun and figured I’d watch this first. Worked like a charm.

I had to resort to a grinder wheel to open up the hole to get my flexible tube in my Lucas Mini. Then it was doing exactly the symptoms that you've demonstrated and troubleshot. How did I get to be this age and not know about grease guns thank God for great people like you and KZfaq

Thank you! Your video was the only video that helped me to get my grease gun going! (I haven't owned one before and just got a new 4X4)

Man, that is just down-home, practical advice and so helpful. Thanks for helping me.

Thank you. Brand new milwaukee 18 v grease gun here. great gun but was having trouble priming it. tried this, and it worked first try. Thank you very much for sharing this. God bless.

That’s an amazing technique. Worked like a charm on my Milwaukee!! Thanks

Very well explained and very happy to have watched your video! That method works great!

I've been frustrated by my Dewalt grease gun in that I was unable to get the thing working until I watched this video 4 times. I'm going to save this video for when I forget and begin to set-ff on the road to frustration. Thank you!!

Thanks great advice I was having trouble priming my DeWalt - I just went outside and tired your suggestion - perfect. Thank you very much!

Thank you I love the grease gun had it for four years and you just made my day

I just bought a tractor and the Dewalt grease gun. I really appreciate all the great people on YT, like yourself, sharing their knowledge. It helps minimize the learning curve for a novice like myself.

Fantastic video, I actually learned something, you are so right the bleeder valve most of the time does not work. Many many thanks.

Your are the first of all I watch to do it well. Thank you for relieving my frustration,

Thank you for your down to earth clear explanation. Its so nice to hear good old common sense vice chinese pictures that make my head spin.

This is actually a very useful, and effective, tip. Worked instantly. Thanks for sharing.

Awesome video I have the same grease gun and I’ve struggled with it until now I don’t know what you do for a living but it seems you would naturally make a good teacher or instructor thank you for the video

That is absolutely the best trick I've ever seen ! Perfect works every time.

Awesome pro tip! I have the very same gun and I would cuss it everytime I had to change the grease tube, knowing I'd have a fight with the bleed screw to get it primed. Thank you, sooo much!

simplicity at its finest... THANK YOU!!!! Just converted my 18v grease gun to 20v max that i got as a gift... Thanks again...

Good vid. Just learned this last week when I bought a new Napa/Lincoln manual lever gun. I did the unthinkable and actually RTFM before loading it. Pretty much to the letter what you described. Makes things much easier. For years, I used to slap the cylinder with the palm of my hand while holding the bleeder button. That worked most of the time.

Thank you so much for this! I've been struggling with my Dewalt grease gun for the past while, trying to figure that out... very helpful😀

I have struggled with my air grease gun, tried this method once and it fed perfectly !! Thanks for this video !!

That is the ONLY way to bleed a grease gun and have it work right! Good video

Your explanation is the only one that has worked for me. Most people explain the parts that everyone probably already knows, and skip the important parts. You did the opposite, thank you.

Great tip, tried on a manual lever type with great success.Thanks.

I'm glad I found your video, no one has ever showed me how to use a grease gun and I just picked up a used dewalt gun a couple of days ago.

I just bought the dewalt. So glad i watched this first. Btw, this is one of the best tutorials ive ever seen for anything. You didn't assume people knew anything walking into it and explained each step. A true teacher. Well done sir.

very good video! thats some old school wisdom! thank you for the help. i have done nothing but struggle with grease guns.

Thank you sir. Perfect strategy, this got me out of a bind today.

Thanks this is the best Bleeding Grease Gun Video ... Thanks Jeff

Well you helped guide me with my MF 4710 purchase and now you helped me when I struggled with my grease gun. Now if you'd come get my cabin and well pump hooked up to solar and my food plots done, I'd be set! Great video and it worked like a charm. Thanks again

Gracias compa I just got my grease gun yesterday and put a new tube and couldn’t get it to work till I saw ur video ay estamos al 100 viejon

Thank you Sir for the information! Just bought a Dewalt grease gun!

Never owned a cordless grease gun till now. It wouldn't prime. Saw your video worked 1st try. Eternal gratitude!

I just did this to my smaller handheld gun. Worked the first time! Thanks a bunch.

I've pushed that button a million times lol thought it was me. Just found your channel love it had an excavation business sold everything before the market crashed in 08 now farming beef and hay part time. Keep em coming

Thank you good sir!! I owe you a beer or something!! I just got a new grease gun, and I followed instructions, online instructions, other videos.... an hour later... found your video... IT WORKS!!! Time to go grease up my trailer!! Thanks again!!!

I just bought the Dewalt grease gun and was ready to send it back cause I could not get grease out of it. I tried your way and it works great!!!! Thank you from Abingdon Va

Thanks friend, I have been fooling with my old grease guns for 2 hours. Can't wait till morning to try your approach.

Thanks for the explanation, saved me a bunch of time today.

I’ve been using a grease gun since I was 5, I’m 59 and have never known this, even though I have a method that works, Thank You, enjoyed and subscribed

On way I suppose to use one grease gun and still use both fittings is to have the lock and lube as the primary on the gun. Then make a small extension hose with the smaller fitting on one side and a coupler and grease nipple on the other side of the hose. Now you can interchange between the two fittings instead of two grease guns. Just an idea. Thanks for the bleeding tip!

Thanks for the info I have an old Lincoln grease gun manual that was having problems priming so glad to see the video. Also I just purchased a DeWalt grease gun 20v cant wait to use it!!

This was great! I never knew how to tell how much grease is left.

Thank you very much for posting this video it was very helpful my family has been using the hand ones their whole life but never used to auto one they love it thanks

I appreciate you my friend, not all of us grew up with dads in the picture to teach us stuff like this. So I for one am thankful for you teaching me this! Thank you!

Thanks Dennis, I never knew the trick on how you check to see how much grease is left in the gun, also like the way you bleed the air. What you say is true sometimes I think that everybody knows what I do about some stuff. It's taken lot of years to learn this stuff. Thanks from Denis with just one N.

I learned that technique in the early 70's working B-52's . we used modified grease guns as a htdraulic pump using grease to pump in bomb rack lock pins

Thanks. I learned something new today about my grease guns.

Buddy I just bought a DeWalt and for the life of me I couldn’t get it to work. I’ll be honest I passed your video up because I felt you were long winded. My mistake!!! Thank you this video saved me from taking a sledgehammer to it. Works perfectly now.

Damn good advice, can't believe I've struggled as much as I have in the cold frozen north with a cold tube. Thanks again.

You saved me! I was getting ready to chuck my out a window because it would stop greasing half way through a grease tube. This is awesome thanks man!

Hey man. Make no apologies for knowing what you k,ow. Ive have been teaching employees for years how to load grease guns and Ive been wrong for years. Can't tell you how helpful this was. I grease everything after my work day and hated fighting with the gun loading. This was very helpful. Thanks brother. God bless America and her wonderful citizens. Be safe and healthy!

Just a hands down great video. I thought (my first mistake) that it doesn't take a rocket scientist to use a grease gun! Well, it doesn't. It takes someone who isn't too proud to watch a video about a subject he thought he had mastered 40+ years ago. Thanks again Dennis for a enjoyable lesson.

Thanks, Never knew that trick or how to tell how much grease is left. Thanks for adding that tip because like you said, you can't assume everyone knows what you know. I'm quite a handyman and do most work myself but when I do hire a professional I like to watch them work and ask questions to learn tricks of the trade.

Great information. The Milwaukee M18 instruction manual doesn't mention this method at all. Worked like a champ!

Thanks.. I've never (over 65 years of using guns) had a problem until the last new cartridge I put into a new grease gun, and had the bubble.. until now, didn't know how simple getting rid of it was until this video.. tks

Learned something new watching this video. Thank you.

Great video! I’m a woman who likes to work on my vehicles. Tips and techniques like yours make or break whether I enjoy or dread and or am successful at whatever I’m working on. I’ve only had one new vehicle (Tacoma) and for 20 yrs old it runs great except for front end squeaks. I’ve taken it in for lube jobs and these cretins make a greasy mess without doing what I’m paying for. Got a cordless grease gun and you helped me load the gun proper, grease the driveline u joints, propeller shaft and the balljoints... Thanks

That was so very helpful. I have a Hercules brand and the last tube I put in I could not get to bleed out. Trying different ways. But once I turned it a bit and pushed. Instantly worked. 👍

This is the best video I have seen on the matter

Thanks for the info on grease guns. I’ve got a Lincoln and I totally agree the bleeding button on the top is useless. Also got the lube lock ends and like you I’ve got the same issue they don’t fit over half of zert holes.

Just use this today. Great video. Thank you so much.

I agree, good video. The only one on KZfaq to tell me what I need to know.

Best how-to grade grease gun explanation I've seen

I have a Dewalt and couldn't get it to prime. Your video saved that day. Appreciate it man

This helped me today with my new grease gun. Thanks!

thank you i did not know this and i'm 55 years old !!!! awesome !!!

Thank you for this information it was really helpful. I enjoyed watching all your blog so much

You kept me from returning my Dewalt gun. Thank you!

So simple but works so great and quick. Thank you brother!

Amazing! I own that exact desalt grease gun and I absolutely HATE! Reloading the grease when it runs out because I had no clue what the tricks were to properly bleed the air. I just tried your method and it was 100% successful on the first attempt. Thank you very much for your video

Yep that's exactly how I do it! My coworker and I figured that out about 4 years ago. We had the allemite 12 volt for quite a few years. They were a good grease gun but the batteries really sucked. Now we have the allemite 14.4 volt lithium ion and we like them a lot better. Also totally agree with you about the lock n lube. I got one and found the same thing you did. 👍

Thank you. I'm an aircraft Technician and I recently bought the Lincoln 12V. I dont need that much power. That bleeding method of yours will save my night. I had to stop using my cordless gun today and use the hand pump one just because I couldn't get rid of those bubbles.

Brother you just saved me some headache. Ive loosened the tube on regular hand crank pumps and pushed the plunger in and it works on them. But I have fought with this new Lincoln battery powered gun for 3 hours until I seen this video. Didnt know I could push on the grease that way and it works. THANK YOU SIR!!

Someone give this man a raise!!

THANK YOU For taking the time to share good useful knowledge...
