I'm going to pick up some grease and a gun to add to my tools. When I looked up the Synergy Grease this comes up and shows "frequently bought together": Amazon: Synergy Grease & Lumax Grease gun bought together

Any thoughts on the grease gun or do you recommend a particular model/type?

Also, which one would you choose...Synergy Grease or Amsoil Synthetic Polymeric Off-Road Grease...or do you recommend another particular brand (specific product)?

I don't have to have the most expensive or the absolute top of the line, but I do like to buy quality. Thanks.

I have been using Lucas Red N Tacky for years, mostly just because it has the best specs of the grease tubes I find at my local autopart stores. (using a cheap grease gun from autozone, no idea how much better the one you are looking at would be)

All of my steering components are synergy, and sadly I had not paid enough attention to know that they had their own grease. Looking around, I see it for $20 on many sites, but have not found the actual specs to compare to Lucas. I will probably make the switch when this tube is gone, and hope that for the price, it outperforms the $5 red n tacky.

My mistake I posted in the wrong thread.

I'd stick with either Synergy or RCV grease. Both are extreme pressure greases designed for use in ball joints, TREs, etc. Both work very well.

As for the grease gun, I have never had one that worked well. Bought a new $25 grease gun last year and it worked well for about half a tube and then brought the suck.

Any thoughts as to pistol grip or lever style gun?

Often times, the grease adapter on the end of the hose has to be held in place, and at a certain angle. Therefore, I always go for the pistol grip grease gun because it's easy to operate one handed.

Unfortunately, I have never seen a grease gun that didn't cavitate and piss me off at some point during its use.

Ssame here been using Red N Tacky for 3 years without issue. It works good and it's a 1/4 of the price... Will likely keep using. TeraFlex recommended it for their arms as well. Gone through several NAPA grease guns, they all suck and are a pain in the ass at some point.

This grease gun was popular in WWII. I highly recommend it!

It's been years, but a wonderful weapon in its simplicity.

Back on track, I like the pistol grip so I have one hand free.

I use 2 grease guns. 1st has the big tube of royal purple grease, 2nd uses the small 3oz tubes, buy a needle tip to get into those tight places.
