The best grease guns, compared.
Top pick: Bravex pistol grip grease gun (6000 psi) – Largest amazon.co.uk review file in the set, with 6,000 psi, an 18 inch hose and an air bleeder stated. Best value: Draper 47807 lever grease gun (500 cc) – About £15.48 for a lever that states a 400 g cartridge, 8,000 psi and a 1/8 inch BSPT connector. Updated 20 October 2026.
A grease gun pumps grease through a hose or tube and a coupler onto a grease nipple, for a car, trailer, mower or tractor. The useful split is a one-hand pistol, a two-hand lever, a mini 85 g pistol, or a cordless gun. What matters is whether the gun primes after a cartridge change, whether the coupler holds and then releases, and whether the listing states a standard 400 g cartridge. Stated pressure runs from 3,000 psi to 12,000 psi. The Health and Safety Executive has recorded hand-pumped guns above 600 bar and a fatal injection during track tensioning, so a higher psi figure is not a safety feature. The order of those checks is in the [grease gun buying guide](/hub/compressors/grease-gun/sub/grease-gun-buying-guide).

Personal buying guide
Question 1 of 2
Do you need one hand free for the coupler?
The Bravex pistol at £23.99 is the top pick in this set because the amazon.co.uk line is 4.6 from 5,144 reviews and the bullets state 6000 psi, an 18 inch hose, a short metal tube, a sharp nozzle, and an air bleeder. UK reviews praise one-handed use, priming, and pressure, and they also mention a coupler that is awkward to remove and a follower that would not travel in one named cartridge. A review describes the outlet as 1/8 NPT; the spec block does not. The listed weight of 0.28 g is not a real mass, so do not buy it for being light. It is the wrong pick if you need a stated 400 g cartridge or a two-hand lever.
Pros
Cons
Best for: You want a one-handed pistol with a stated 6000 psi, an 18 inch hose, and a large amazon.co.uk review file.
Less suitable: You need a stated 400 g cartridge, a two-hand lever, or a listing weight you can trust.
Specifications
Common questions
What pressure does the listing state?
The amazon.co.uk bullets say working pressure is up to 6000 psi. That figure is the listing claim, not a measurement from this comparison.
What hose is included?
The bullets include an 18 inch reinforced flex hose with a spring guard and coupler, plus a 5.5 inch hard metal extension and a sharp nozzle.
Does the listing mention an air bleed?
Yes. The bullets say an air bleeder valve eliminates air pockets. Cartridge size is not stated on this capture.
This Pindex kit is £23.46, model PX-10902063, 1.6 kg, for a 400 g cartridge, with a quick-release coupler, a 45 cm hose, and a 15 cm tube. It shows 4.6 from 242 reviews. UK reviews praise the fittings for a mower and tight spots, and one calls it leaking cheap rubbish. Pressure is not stated, and the title's 3 hoses is not matched by the contents bullet. Buy it for the needle and the quick-release if you already know the pressure you need. The Draper is cheaper if you mainly want a stated 8000 psi and a BSPT thread.
Pros
Cons
Best for: You want the needle and the quick-release for a mower and tight spots, and you already know the pressure you need.
Less suitable: You mainly want a stated 8000 psi and a named BSPT thread at a lower price.
Specifications
Common questions
Does a grease cartridge come with it?
A UK review says it does not come with a grease tube. The bullets say it fits a 400 g cartridge.
What hoses are listed?
The bullets list one 45 cm hose and one 15 cm tube. The title says three hoses and a needle coupler, so the third hose is only in the title.
Is a pressure stated?
No psi or bar figure is on this capture. The bullets do say a quick-release coupler and silicone seals.
This Bravex, model GGP-1AP-HE, is £29.99 and puts 6000 psi, a quick-release coupler, and an 18 inch hose in the title. It is 1.52 kg and shows 4.6 from 74 reviews. The written reviews stored with the saved listing are United States reviews, so they are not used as UK opinion. Those texts mention easy priming and also a locking coupler problem and joints that needed tightening. Cartridge size and a bleed valve are not stated. The £23.99 Bravex states a bleeder and has 5,144 reviews without the quick-release in the title.
Pros
Cons
Best for: You specifically want a quick-release coupler in the title at a stated 6000 psi, and you treat 74 reviews as a smaller sample.
Less suitable: You want a stated bleeder and the much larger review file, or you would treat United States review text as UK opinion.
Specifications
Common questions
Does this one include a quick-release coupler?
Yes. The title and the colour line say a quick-release coupler, and the title says 6000 psi and an 18 inch flex hose.
Are the written reviews from the UK?
The rating line is 4.6 from 74 on the amazon.co.uk capture. The review texts in the saved listing are headed as United States reviews, so they are not UK buyer comments.
What cartridge size is stated?
The bullets say bulk and cartridge fill. They do not state 400 g or 14 oz.
The Yofidra cordless gun is £79.99, listed at 12000 psi and up to 5.3 oz/min, with a 600 cc barrel, 14 oz cartridges, two 3000 mAh batteries, a charger, an LED, and a case. It weighs 4.3 kg on the listing and shows 4.6 from 14 reviews. The six UK texts are positive about a tractor and a telehandler, and two say time will tell. More than 12 tractors per charge is a listing claim. Hose and coupler are not itemised. Buy it only if manual pumping is the problem and you accept a thin review sample. A hand gun in this set costs about a quarter of the price.
Pros
Cons
Best for: Manual pumping is the problem on a long grease round, and you accept a sample of 14 reviews.
Less suitable: You need a stated hose and coupler, or a hand gun will reach the nipples you have.
Specifications
Common questions
What batteries are included?
The listing says two 3000 mAh lithium-ion batteries and a charger, and it says to charge them fully before first use.
What grease does it take?
The bullets say a 600 cc barrel, bulk fill, and standard 14 oz cartridges of 53 mm diameter. Bore is stated as 54 mm.
Is the hose listed?
This capture does not itemise a hose or a coupler. It does state an LED, a case, and a handle that rotates 90 degrees.
The Draper 47807 is the best value in this set at £15.48. The listing states a 500 cc lever gun, 400 g cartridges and bulk fill, a delivery tube, a 1/8 inch BSPT connector, a pressure relief valve, and 55 MPa (8000 psi). It shows 4.4 from 250 reviews. UK reviews say it greases nipples without leaking, and they also describe a coupler that would not release, a plunger lock that dumped a cartridge, and guns that never primed. It needs two hands and the hose length is not stated. Choose it when you want a named lever and a stated cartridge size. Skip it if you need one hand on the coupler.
Pros
Cons
Best for: You want a named lever that states a 400 g cartridge and a 1/8 inch BSPT connector, and you can use two hands.
Less suitable: You need one hand free for the coupler, or a hose length the listing actually states.
Specifications
Common questions
Which cartridges does the listing accept?
The bullets say standard 400 g grease gun cartridges and bulk grease. The barrel is listed at 500 cc.
What thread is on the connector?
The bullets say the connector has 1/8 inch BSPT threads. That is not the same as 1/8 NPT.
What working pressure is stated?
The bullets say 55 MPa and 8000 psi. That is the listing claim.
The KRETLAW mini is £20.99 and shows 4.3 from 2,976 reviews, which is a large sample for a small gun. It is listed at 3000 psi and 900 g, with two 85 g cartridges, a 12 inch hose, and a 4-jaw coupler. UK reviews call it handy for bikes and small jobs, and they also describe a fussy prime and a connector you unscrew to release. Buy it for a few nipples and a pocket kit. Do not buy it as a 400 g tractor gun.
Pros
Cons
Best for: You want a pocket gun for a bike or a few nipples, with two 85 g cartridges in the box.
Less suitable: You need a 400 g cartridge for a tractor or a weekly grease round.
Specifications
Common questions
What cartridges does it use?
The listing includes two 85 g (3 oz) cartridges. It does not say it takes a standard 400 g cartridge.
What pressure is stated?
The title and bullets say 3000 psi. The gun is listed at 900 g.
What is in the box?
Bullets list the gun, two cartridges, a long extension, a 12 inch spring hose, a 4-jaw coupler, a sharp nozzle, an adapter, and PVC gloves.
The KRETLAW K180005 is £29.99 and the most accessorised manual pistol here: 7000 psi, a 14 oz cartridge note, an 18 inch hose, two 12 inch hoses, 4-jaw and 6-jaw couplers, needles, and a bleed warning. It shows 4.3 from 1,170 reviews. UK reviews praise a locking nozzle and a digger with blocked nipples, and they also report low output, paint in the threads, a coupler that lost its grip, and a gun that stopped. Pay the £29.99 if you want the extra hoses. The Bravex at £23.99 has a much larger review count and fewer extra fittings.
Pros
Cons
Best for: You want the extra hoses, both jaw sizes, and the needles on a pistol listed at 7000 psi.
Less suitable: You want the larger review count and fewer extra fittings.
Specifications
Common questions
What is in the kit?
The bullets list the gun, a 6-jaw coupler, an 18 inch hose, two 12 inch spring hoses, injector needles, a 4-jaw coupler, a bend pipe, a sharp nozzle, and a glove.
How do you fit a 14 oz cartridge?
The listing says that if the 14 oz cartridge has a metal ring, insert the opposite end first so the ring helps you remove it later. Bleed air before first use.
What pressure is stated?
The title and bullets say 7000 psi. The gun is listed at 1.57 kg.
This red Bravex pistol is £21.99, model 30-GGP-001-HE, 1.58 kg, with an 18 inch flex hose in the title and a 3-way bulk and cartridge fill. It shows 4.3 from 137 reviews. UK reviews like the one-handed trigger and the hose, and they also report leaks, air locks, a follower that needs a tap, and a cartridge that will not come out. Pressure and cartridge size are absent, so it is not the Bravex to pick when those numbers matter. The other Bravex at £23.99 states 6000 psi and a bleeder.
Pros
Cons
Best for: You want a one-handed Bravex with a stated 18 inch hose and bulk or cartridge fill, and you do not need a psi figure.
Less suitable: You are choosing on stated pressure or cartridge size, because this listing does not give them.
Specifications
Common questions
How long is the hose?
The title says an 18 inch flex hose. A separate length is not in the technical details.
What pressure does this listing state?
This capture does not state a psi or bar figure. Do not copy the 6000 psi from the other Bravex ASINs.
How do you fill it?
The bullets say a 3-way fill and a plunger for bulk grease and a cartridge. The cartridge size is not stated.
The Seesii SEUKB003 is the dearest gun in the set at £89.99. It is listed at 12000 psi, up to 5.3 oz/min, 400 cc, a 54 mm bore, a 39.4 inch hose, two 2.0 Ah batteries, a charger, an LED, a shoulder strap, and a case. It shows 4.3 from 21 reviews and weighs 3 kg. UK reviews include a crane and a 13 tonne machine, and one says the charger was missing. Up to 8 tractors and 90 percent time saved are listing claims. A Makita 18 V line is truncated in the capture, so that fit is not confirmed. Choose it over the Yofidra if the stated hose matters. Skip it if a £15–£30 hand gun will do the nipples you have.
Pros
Cons
Best for: You want the cordless kit that states a 39.4 inch hose, and you will check that the charger is in the box.
Less suitable: A hand gun in the £15–£30 band will do the nipples you have, or you need a confirmed Makita 18 V fit.
Specifications
Common questions
What hose length is stated?
The bullets say a 39.4 inch flexible hose, plus a quick-release coupler, a flat coupler, and a pointed nozzle.
What batteries are included?
The listing says two 2.0 Ah rechargeable batteries and a charger. One UK review says the charger was not in the box.
What grease does it take?
The bullets say a 54 mm bore, 400 cc, bulk fill, and standard 14 oz cartridges, and they mention NLGI 2 grease.
This pistol is the cheapest gun in the set at £14.90. The bullets state 7000 psi, a 400 cc cartridge, bulk and filler-pump loading, an 18 inch hose, a rigid nozzle, and an air bleed. The manufacturer line says Anesty. It shows 4.2 from 39 reviews. UK texts praise one-handed use and the hose, and they also say it stopped sealing, leaked past the nipple, airlocked, or pumped no grease. The package size of 1 x 1 x 1 cm is not credible. It is a budget pistol only if you can return a gun that will not prime.
Pros
Cons
Best for: You want the cheapest pistol in this set and you can return a gun that will not prime.
Less suitable: You need a large review sample, or the first cartridge has to seal today.
Specifications
Common questions
Will it take a 400 g cartridge?
The bullets say it accepts standard 400 cc (14 oz) cartridges, plus bulk fill and a filler pump. A review title says the cartridge is not in the box.
Is there an air bleed?
The bullets say an air bleed valve and a sealed spring-primed piston, and they state pressures up to 7000 psi.
Who is the brand?
The manufacturer line says Anesty. The product title does not print a brand.
The Pindex lever is £21.65, model 10902041A, listed at 8000 psi for a 400 g cartridge, with a 6 inch tube, a 12 inch hose, a pointed nozzle, and a release valve. It shows 4.0 from 132 reviews, the lowest average in this set. UK reviews include regular use on a digger, and they also include a coupler that stuck and then broke, hose threads that did not match, and a gun that did not work. The listing claims double-rod flow is twice a single-rod gun; that claim is not measured here. The Draper lever states the same cartridge class, names 1/8 inch BSPT, and costs less.
Pros
Cons
Best for: You want a lever that states 8000 psi and a 400 g cartridge, and you accept the lowest star average in this set.
Less suitable: You want the cheaper lever that names 1/8 inch BSPT.
Specifications
Common questions
What cartridge does it take?
The bullets say a 400 g cartridge, also described as a standard 14 oz or 400 cc cartridge.
What pressure is stated?
The bullets say the spring holds pressure up to 8000 psi, and they mention a release valve for air.
What is in the box?
The bullets list the gun, a 6 inch rigid extension, a 12 inch reinforced hose, a pointed nozzle, and a user manual.
Scores use the eleven amazon.co.uk listings in this comparison, shelf date 19 October 2026. This is not a lab test. A stated psi figure is the listing claim, not a measurement at the nipple. Health and Safety Executive notes on grease injection are a safety limit, not a score. Amazon evidence is the star rating, with a deduction when the count is small or when the written reviews in the file are United States text. Listing fit rewards a stated pressure, a named 400 g cartridge, a hose or tube, a bleed or relief valve, and a named thread. An 85 g mini scores as a pocket gun. A cordless listing that does not itemise the hose loses points. Incredible weights and package sizes are ignored. The weights below sum to 100.
Amazon evidence
30%Star rating on amazon.co.uk, then a deduction when the count is small or when the written reviews in the file are United States text rather than UK opinion. A 4.6 from 5,144 is not the same evidence as a 4.6 from 14.
Listing fit
35%A stated pressure, a named 400 g cartridge, a hose or tube, a bleed or relief valve, and a named thread score higher for a car, trailer or machine. An 85 g mini scores as a pocket gun. A cordless listing that does not itemise the hose loses points. Incredible weights and package sizes are ignored.
Review outcome
20%UK reviews that describe a finished grease job score higher than a file that repeats a coupler that will not release, a gun that never primed, or a missing charger.
Value
15%Shelf price in GBP against a gun a UK review can use. The lowest price does not win this block when several reviews say the gun will not pump.
Decide the job before the psi figure. One hand free points to a pistol. Room for a two-hand stroke points to a lever. A standard 400 g cartridge, a coupler thread you can name, and a bleed or relief valve come before price. Cordless guns in this set cost about three times a hand gun, and only a long grease round justifies that.
A grease gun pumps grease through a hose or tube and a coupler onto a grease nipple. On a car, trailer, mower, tractor or plant, the useful UK split is a one-hand pistol, a two-hand lever, a mini 85 g pistol, or a cordless gun. Quality, on the listings and reviews in this set, is whether it primes after a cartridge change, whether the coupler holds and then releases, and whether it takes a standard 400 g cartridge.
Air in the head is why a new gun seems not to work. If the listing never mentions a bleed valve or a relief valve, do not assume one. Bleed before the first nipple.
Draper states 1/8 inch BSPT. A review describes another outlet as 1/8 NPT, and the spec block on that gun does not. The two threads do not interchange. A quick-release coupler only helps if the outlet thread matches.
The KRETLAW mini includes two 85 g cartridges and is listed at 3,000 psi. UK reviews call it handy for bikes and small jobs. A tractor or a weekly grease round needs a listing that states 400 g or 14 oz.
One hand in a wheel arch or on a drawbar points to a pistol. Room for a two-hand stroke points to a lever. Dozens of nipples on a route is the only reason to look at a cordless gun at roughly three times the price. Prefer a listing that states standard 400 g (14 oz, about 400 cc). The KRETLAW mini is an 85 g system with two cartridges in the box. Sealey screw cartridges (M33 x 2.5 mm) fit named Sealey guns, not every pistol. A 4-jaw that leaks or sticks is the fault UK reviews repeat.
If the listing never mentions a bleed valve or relief valve, do not assume one. Air in the head is why a new gun seems not to work. Stated pressure is a check, not a trophy. Manual claims here are mostly 6,000 to 8,000 psi; cordless claims are 12,000 psi. Neither was measured in a lab. A higher psi figure does not make injection less likely. The Health and Safety Executive has recorded hand-pumped guns above 600 bar. A 4.6 from 5,144 ratings is a different evidence base from a 4.6 from 14.
Three typical situations, each with a recommendation from this comparison.
You need one hand free, a stated 400 g cartridge and a hose. The KRETLAW pistol kit at about £29.99 states 7,000 psi, a 14 oz cartridge, an 18 inch hose and an air bleed, with 4.3 from 1,170 reviews. The Bravex top pick has the larger review file, and it does not state a cartridge size.
Dozens of nipples is the reason to look at a cordless gun, at roughly three times the price of a hand gun. The Seesii at about £89.99 states 12,000 psi, a 400 cc barrel and a 39.4 inch hose. Check the charger is in the box: one UK review says it was missing. The sample is 21 reviews.
You can use two hands and you want a named 400 g cartridge. The Draper 47807 at about £15.48 states 8,000 psi, bulk fill and a 1/8 inch BSPT connector, with 4.4 from 250 reviews. The hose length is not stated. Skip it if you need one hand on the coupler.
The top pick is the Bravex pistol at about £23.99: 4.6 from 5,144 amazon.co.uk reviews, with 6,000 psi, an 18 inch hose and an air bleeder stated. Cartridge size is not stated, and the 0.28 g listing weight is not a real mass. The best value is the Draper 47807 at about £15.48, a two-hand lever that states a 400 g cartridge, 8,000 psi and a 1/8 inch BSPT connector. A higher psi claim is not a safer gun, and a 4.6 from 14 reviews is not the same evidence as a 4.6 from 5,144.
