Grease Gun Modification Extends Tool Life

Grease Gun Modification Extends Tool Life FARM SHOP Maintenance When the batteries on his cordless Lincoln grease gun failed Dakota Hanisak came up with a unique solution “I didn’t see a reason to buy new Lincoln batteries because all the other tools I had at home and in my service truck for farm equipment and commercial heating and air conditioning repair were Milwaukee ” says Hanisak “I like to keep similar brands of tools if possible ” To make the modification he purchased a Milwaukee M18 battery adapter with two wire connections on eBay took his Lincoln grease gun apart and soldered the wires to the leads To keep the altered unit feeling solid he ran some screws up into the housing of the grease gun through a small piece of wood and sealed everything with silicone “It was one step away from the garbage but now it works just as well as it did before ” he says “It’s not pretty but now I can use any of my Milwaukee batteries on the gun Just swap a weak one for a charged one and it’s good to go ” Hanisak says the modification cost him about $15 for the adapter and took only 20 minutes to complete Contact: FARM SHOW Followup Dakota Hanisak Wassergass Penn 18055 ph 610-216-1951
