Metabo cordless 18V grease gun

Power tool manufacturer makes first foray into cordless grease gun category.

The weight can be completely removed from the user by adding a Metabo accessory magnet, sold separately, to the integrated M8 threaded attachment point.

Metabo, maker of hand-held power tools, introduces its cordless 18V grease gun, the FP 18 LTX.

“The new cordless 18V grease gun is our first entry into the market and has been designed with a focus on end-user adaptability. Depending upon the application, the operator can choose between two-settings of discharge pressure,” said Joseph Masters, senior product manager at Metabo.

“Further precision is achieved with the 10-position thumbwheel that adjusts grease delivery from 1 to 25 shots. Adding to its utility, grease can be loaded three ways: Grease cartridge, direct filling from a grease bucket, or the resident canister can be filled directly.” said Masters.

Customer experience, said the firm, is further improved with additional features dedicated to ease of use and ergonomics. The tool can be carried via an easy-grip handle; however, it can also be transported using a shoulder strap with tethering points to reduce fatigue.

The company said the 18V grease gun includes two LED lights, one integrated on the front of the tool housing and the second located on the end of the grease hose, for maximum work visibility.
