    Lol, I'm actually subscribed to him and have been for a long time. I watched the grease gun video just now. Looks like the Milwaukee cleaned house. Prolly break down and buy it, so I've got it when I get back.....if I ever leave at this pace. It's frigging brutal outside right now. 72mph gusts! I fell on my ### when I went out to close up the chicken coop tonight. Not supposed to let up until tomorrow afternoon. My driveway is gonna suck!

    You could do it much cheaper. The guy who priced mine does only quality work. Mine was more of a favor for something so simple. I didn't have it done.

    Just wait till you add up material even to do it yourself. Prices are expensive. 10 years ago a bright red ppg 2 stage was 680.00 a a gallon color only.

    Price all depends on what you want, and how much labor. Might be able to find a guy to do a work truck quality job for 5k. They will tape off all brakets, handles, lights and not remove them.

    Seems everyone is going with wraps these days. I know of a major construction outfit that wraps all their trucks, then pulls the wrap off at auction time. I have a feeling that road maintenance orange isn't a hot seller lol.

    I'm pretty sure I have a couple of NIB Lincoln 1842's in the storage unit, if you want one $75 meet me at Clearwater Builders.

    Plus, get a Lock-N-Lube
    While I'm thinking about the storage unit, I've got a couple of barrels of really good shape G70 1/2 & 3/8 plus ratchet binders someone needs to make me an offer on.

    We've got a dewalt cordless, it's pretty handy. Only thing is you may want to put a longer hose on so it can stay setting on the ground while you hook to stuff.

    Pretty good. It's setting in the driveway with the fan off it changing belts but got the wrong one so I've got to swap out for the right one today after my appointments

    I've got the Lincoln and the Milwaukee...I wouldn't want to be without. Just be careful when greasing those airline grease thingies in severe cold. Had one break open on the clutch bearing I thought was getting grease but cost me a clutch removing job.

    It's a great little bike for what I do. Works really nice for checking crops in the spring. I can ride down 30" rows. Saves miles and miles of hoofing it on foot!

    That’s a good deal. Place I was before had one of those. Probably 10 years greasing 5 trucks or so. Only reason stoped using it was it run over by a semi. Still worked but was busted all to sh$). He replaced it with a Milwaukee. I bought a Dewalt.

    Can’t imagine greasing a truck with a hand pump unit? I’m nostalgic for the old days and all but, I don’t want to go back to the days of no grease gun or no AC during “work” conditions.

    I've got a load 6 hours south that has to come up here, a 55 ton excavator from Ritchie Bros in Nisku. They keep waving me off for the last 2 weeks due to weather. Looking at the forecast it will be another week before I can grab it, temps are brutal cold and currently pounding snow again. Throwing chains for every hill between here and Nisku is cost prohibitive for the customer lol.

    I appreciate it, I actually bought the Milwaukee last night at like 0300. I couldn't sleep. However, I prolly have some buddies that would be interested. Let me make some calls and I will call you later. I will ask them about chain and binders aswell.
