Sounds like the general consensus is buy a cordless grease gun.
I'll start looking for a good deal.
Thanks.

Alamite is the way for manual grease guns. Mine (lever not pistol grip) has been with me going on 15 years if not a bit longer. Doesn't get the work out it did when I worked on heavy equipment, but it's been the only one I've ever owned to last.Y'all been lazy today......I was only 2 pages behind tonight.....
Anybody got current experience with grease guns? mines dead..... and the last couple cheap ones I bought were worthless right out of the box.
I've never been a fan of electric grease guns till recently, cousin got a Milwaukee and its pretty sweet. Much better then the pos dewalt or Lincoln we use at work. One of the few things I wish work would get that isn't dewalt. Now being fair the dewalt is an 18 volt so it eats through batteries, and we have a lot to grease on a weekly basis.
Will do
Intake issue
They are, for lazy people that have lots of greasing to do.Okay, I guess that would be an option if they work better than a hand pump..... I just figured cordless grease guns were kind of a gimmick for really lazy people or something.

I reload a lot of military brass and don't have any problems seating primers. I have a turret press but prefer to prime in front of the TV with a Lee hand primer.
I use a primer pocket reamer but it just adds a chamfer and rarely takes out any brass from the pocket itself.
The collet indexer is just for better alignment and removable for other jobs, held on by weight and slip fit precision ground dowel pins. The collet holds a plug with a slip fit hole the O.D. size of the neck. I also have a plug for 30-06 cases. I have to hold the brass with my fingers to keep it from spinning but the chamfer on the hole pushing against the shoulder while it's cutting helps with spin.

My son was considering removing the gas plug from his Garand to feed manually so we could neck size only. I had him fire some with the plug removed and also in normal semi auto. To my surprise the cases were identical so he keeps the gas plug in.
Now I neck size and bump the shoulder a little. His is the only 30-06 I load for so I can keep the FL die adjusted for neck only. I still have the 3 fired cases I was going to send to Hornady for a custom die but haven't needed it so far.
I have always lubed the the neck opening to make the expander ball run smooth.

It is pretty sad that you buy a new saw and have to fix it to run properly.
I have a couple of Lincoln 18 volt units that work great.Y'all been lazy today......I was only 2 pages behind tonight.....

That stuff makes some healthy tea .
Torch spark plugs are Stens brand and they are starting to show up in everything and being sold on the shelf in tractor supply. I have not yet found one that failed or started causing running issues on engines that have come to me but like anything else they will eventually wear out after enough time. The first few I found I thought they were chinese junk and replaced them as found for ngk but I started seeing new equipment with them installed so I started leaving them in.
When things calm down for me and I get rested and recovered I'll post up some pictures of my current pile of split wood.... I busted my @ss this winter and I think I did a hell of a lot for one guy with only a short bed 1/4 ton truck, saws and gas powered hydraulic log splitter.

Ah ok. I did see a post a few weeks ago on the neotec fb group about that exact issue regarding the cutout.
Just for argument sake, I am going to disagree with you, Ha!. I have been here everyday, sometimes two or three times a day. How to visit often to just keep up. I am actually doing better now than I was a year ago. They took out part of a kidney and removed a boulder of a kidney stone and I can actually bend over now.

Agreed, Milwaukee is worth every penny if you Grease a lot, especially when it's a tough place e to access. Agreed, the Lincoln's are junk.
That's the deal I don't have a whole lot of stuff to grease, just the tractor, mill, and backhoe..... I just want something simple that works on demand.
I went ahead and ordered a new alemite lever gun off evilbay for $35 hopefully it will actually function.....
If not, I'll come back and tell y'all how cheap and dumb I am....

Anybody know where chipper is? Everyone is more chipper when he is here.
You said I provided false information, and I did not. Yes, I take offense to that, and you repeated it.
I don't start crap, but I don't walk away from it either.
Show me, specifically, what I posted that you think is false!
It's a toy, and I knew I would have to tear it apart going into it. $170.00 bucks to the door I didn't have any expectations of super quality. But with all the clones are so great threads and comments going on, I just had to see what the hype was about. From the best I can tell it's a zenoah/redmax gz4350 which happens to be one of the most cloned saws out there. The neotec is supposed to be one of the better brands, and I happen to own a zenoah/redmax gz4000 (which by the best I can tell the 4350 replaced) with under 2cc displacement difference, and claiming to be within .05hp of each other it will be an interesting tell. Only thing that sucks is I'll have to run 3/8 lopro on the neotec or convert the gz4000 to .325.
They are good. And I don't think I paid anymore then $40.00 for mine when I got it.That's the deal I don't have a whole lot of stuff to grease, just the tractor, mill, and backhoe..... I just want something simple that works on demand.
