    I have no preference of Milwaukee vs Dewalt, but a lot of people I know say the M18 is the cats ###. I used one for a while when running for my moms husband. Thing sure made greasing the truck easier. Not as easy as paying TA though lol

    This does remind me of that gas shortage. I'll never forget it. It was crazy. Wasn't the shortage. Was the crazy that did it.
    Just like now. Not the virus. The crazy.

    Yes there is special 5th wheel grease in a bottle. Crete uses it. It is super sticky. Gotta be careful. You also use much less than others. Just don't need much. .... If you need... When I get back. I'll give you the name of it.
    Otherwise I think that red and tacky would be pretty darn good.
    I used wheel bearing grease. Worked great. But reapplying a lot. Go through a couple tubes a months of that stuff.

    For those of us that aren't as high tech as a grease gun, a stick and shmearing a few small blobs around is the ticket when D&H.

    Replace cap on tube. You'll only pull the pull top once like it was going to go in a grease gun, then you won't do that again.

    Throw stick away.

    Gloves recommend.

    Do not pet your kitty immediately afterward until all tiny blobs are accounted ffg or.

    I don't have a real preference either. I was looking at both as well as a Lincoln. The Lincoln didn't seem as well made and the dewalt was a little less $$$ than the Milwaukee. Overall, I'm very happy with it and have had zero issues using it to service two trucks for almost 2 1/2 years now. I didn't keep track, but I'm sure I've pushed a lot of grease thru it!
