WCJRJR says "Number 6 in a long line of failures." about Craftsman Professional Continuous Flow Grease Gun

WCJRJR — Thu, 29 Dec 2011 20:58:07 GMT

I have gone thru no less than 6 of these craftsman grease guns in the past 2 years. I am not a dummy when it comes to tools, but these guns will drive you nuts. I started out with the $29 one and now I am on my 3rd hd continuous gun. I have wasted more grease than I have used from these guns. I followed the directions and also went on line for feedback. Still problems to get in to work continuously. I do not understand why the center rod will go up the cylinder, but the plunger, oval piece, will not push the grease. The one I am using now worked when I put it away, however I will know better when I go to use it again.

angrymechanic12 says "Waste of money and time" about Craftsman Professional Continuous Flow Grease Gun

angrymechanic12 — Fri, 21 Oct 2011 19:08:02 GMT

To sum up why im taking the time to write this review about this product is that it SUCKS!!!!!!!!! I bought this because i thought it would be easier the hand pumping boy was i wrong. Im a trailer chassis mechanic for a rail yard and i use quite a bit of grease throught my day and hand pumping was getting old and stinks when you have a stubborn grease zert. So i had the bright idea to buy this tool and use it, well i did and the first day i use it i get it to work seemed fine, disconnect it from the air line go to ise it 20 minutes later and nothing! wouldnt prime wouldnt pump wouldnt do a **** thing. so i spent the next 45 minutes trying to get it working again but to no avail. so i take it back hopping it was just a faulty gun. get the new gun got it to work, worked great was so easy to use, for about 10 minutes. piece of ************ shooting grease all of a sudden, thought i was out but there was plenty left in the tube, then the motor would just accuate for no reason when i pulled......

stevo3556 says "Not worth the time" about Craftsman Professional Continuous Flow Grease Gun

stevo3556 — Mon, 21 Mar 2011 14:37:08 GMT

I follow the instructions to the letter and it is a constant battle to keep it primed. I generally can only use half a tube of grease because the plunger sticks or there is not enough spring pressure to push the grease to the end. If it worked as advertised there is no argument, it would be perfect. Not worth all the trouble it has caused. I spend more time messing with the grease gun than actually greasing. I have never tightened the barrel of the grease gun with anything outer than my had and it is now stripped. I am also very disappointed it is only warrantied for a year. Smart move for Craftsman!

johnnyr24 says "The Continuous flow grease gun was almost helpless " about Craftsman Professional Continuous Flow Grease Gun

johnnyr24 — Thu, 10 Mar 2011 15:47:50 GMT

The gun was constantly hanging up right out of the box and being a millwright and machinist I tore the thing apart and after deburing a couple of pieces I got it to work correctly. The thing is also hard to charge and purge the air out of. The charging handle should lock into the piston to help push the grease up the tube like my manual grease guns do. Other than that is pumps guite well now...

WXM says "Fast, powerful and easy to use" about Craftsman Professional Continuous Flow Grease Gun

WXM — Wed, 29 Dec 2010 20:31:16 GMT

This is the second one I bought. I am a weekend DIY'er, so I don't use it very often, but for the "occasional" uses from repacking the SUV front axle, greasing up the u-join, drive shaft to regular maintenance of impact air wrench, it has lived to my expectation. It is very easy to use and very powerful to get big job (such as repacking birfield) done easy....

bm87 says "good for the price, will pump alot of grease" about Craftsman Professional Continuous Flow Grease Gun

bm87 — Wed, 29 Dec 2010 17:32:14 GMT

grease gun sure beats pumping by hand, I have used mine for 3 years in semi-truck dealership service center. pumps good easy to prime, only thing is that after several hundred tubes of grease the seal in the cylinder leaks grease by and makes big mess when changing grease tubes. not as strong as a bulk grease gun, but will free up fittings that a hand grease gun won't. The continuous action only works if the grease flows freely out of fitting other wise you have to pump trigger for more pressure. I just purchase a new one due to the grease leaking by the seal, pump part still works good, going to look for a cylinder that will fit pump. New one also comes with flexible hose, as the old one did not, and the new one does not say on the box that it comes with one. Especially a good deal when it is half off in the craftsmen club....

ItsAllGood says "Not to sure...." about Craftsman Professional Continuous Flow Grease Gun

ItsAllGood — Mon, 29 Mar 2010 18:44:22 GMT

I purchased a contentious flow grease gun, Maybe I'm not sure what the exact definition of continuous flow is.

I put it together and hooked the air up I squeezed the trigger several times to get grease to the end of the hose. When I held the trigger it pumps once and just blows air. Its model # is 19959 brand new out of the box.

Any Suggestions,

Moose1974 says "Best grease gun for the money!" about Craftsman Professional Continuous Flow Grease Gun

sears-feed — Wed, 08 Jul 2009 11:45:09 GMT

I purchased this grease gun about 3 weeks ago. I work in a large shop and I got tired of looking for the grease barrel, rolling it all the way to my work stall, and getting stuck in the divots and uneven pavement on the way there. I have been using it daily and boy is it a time saver! It works as advertised. The best feature is the variable flow trigger. I can control the flow of grease and prevent overgreasing the fitting and making a mess unlike the grease barrel gun our shop has. I checked with Snap-On and the Blue Point equivalent of this gun is $120!!! What a deal at $49.99. It's been worth every penny. A few other guys in my shop are gonna buy one now that they've tried mine. I highly recommend this gun to anyone....

This is a real time saver! I grease my Farm Tractor & all my Impliments in less than half the time it took with my hand-pump grease gun. (I'm buying 2 more of these)....

It acts like it wants to work but grease does not go in the fitting. A grease gun that doesn't have a flexible hose is nearly useless....

I bought this gun thinking that with the craftsman brand it would last a little while. It lasted me 2 hours on greasing aircraft. I read and fallowed the instructions and the guns air plunger kept jamming after repeatly oiling per instructions. I will be returning it tomarrow and not getting another one....

Richard23 says "Best grease gun I have ever owned" about Craftsman Professional Continuous Flow Grease Gun

sears-feed — Fri, 07 Dec 2007 22:30:12 GMT

Picked this gun up on sale for 29.99. It primed perfectly the first time and has work the past 3 or 4 times perfectly. I would recommend that you oil it regularly as the manual states otherwise the plunger sticks occasionally but after oiling works perfect. Overall the gun is very efficient and at $29.99 (Sale Price)or even at $49.99 (Regular Price) this gun has been quite a value. This item has also saved a lot of time on the job. Thank you CRAFTSMAN!!!....

worked flawlessly, using included metal hose as well as the flexible one purchased separately. might waste a lot of grease running the recommended air tool oil through it before putting it away....

Anonymous says "So far so good" about Craftsman Professional Continuous Flow Grease Gun

sears-feed — Tue, 28 Aug 2007 00:45:07 GMT

First grease gun (red Craftsman) was a junk. This one seems to be working fine for now. I have only had it for a day so I will have to see how reliable it is. Pistol style trigger is better than the one it has. It should also have a little heavier materials....

bombidude17 says "Craftsman Grease Gun JUNK!!!" about Craftsman Professional Continuous Flow Grease Gun

sears-feed — Sat, 04 Aug 2007 23:00:08 GMT

This is the second grease gun I bought. The first one I bought was the cheaper $24.99 one and that one wouldn't push grease though the fitting so I returned that one back. So I bought the professional grease gun on sale for 44.99 hoping it would work. First of all putting together was a pain because I bought a flexable hose for it and it wouldn't fit. It only comes with a metal tube. Then I installed a grease tube and the gasket in the head wouldn't fit in the tube with the grease down inside. So I left the gasket out and screwed the head on the tube. It was like the threads were striped out even before I started. So then I got it to stay on and I was trying it out on my tractor. I thought it was working until the grease tube went flying across the floor. So I thought buying the better model would be made better I was wrong. I'm returning this one today and getting my money back....

DEJ315 says "Does not Deliver grease" about Craftsman Professional Continuous Flow Grease Gun

sears-feed — Mon, 02 Jul 2007 07:01:18 GMT

Purchased for me as a Father's Day present. Wish I had read these reviews prior to spending time trying to get the gun to deliver grease. Read the manual prior to setup and should have guessed there would be problems when I notice figures missing. Chamber too tight that grease tubes will not completely insert. Then Grease gun would not deliver grease. By far the most disappointing experience I have ever had in 30 yrs with a Craftsman product. It is being returned to store and do not plan to get a another one....

Fuzzy77 says "Not a reliable product" about Craftsman Professional Continuous Flow Grease Gun

sears-feed — Tue, 22 May 2007 03:00:08 GMT

I purchased one of these and returned it because no grease would come out. The second gun will prime but not reliably deliver the grease. It is unknown if grease is being delivered to bearings. 3 out of 4 bearings greased had no visible signs the grease injected. The second gun will be returned shortly....

I am returning this because the plunger is so tight in the chamber it will not fit in the tubes of grease without forcing it and then it jambs up and loses prime....

A57swamprat says "Wont prime" about Craftsman Professional Continuous Flow Grease Gun

sears-feed — Thu, 15 Mar 2007 04:08:51 GMT

I can not get this unit to prime. To prime I have to push a hand full of grease into the head. Sometimes that works but never for a full tube of grease. I am using a #2 grease here in Florida. Don't even think of using this tool in a cold climate. As with so many Craftsman tools this one is foreign made and a copy of a well known American brand. My last Craftman grease gun lasted 30 years until the piston seal deteriorated....
