Milwaukee tools aren't what they used to be. But, I think they are still one of the better tools out there.
Home Depot bought them and they are now a store brand. So, profit is a big factor in design.
It's not the fault of the Chinese. They can and will build anything to spec. If we spec it cheap, they will build it cheap.
In another 10-15 years, "Made in China" will be a sign of high quality. Look at what they are doing with the I pads.
If you already have other rechargeable equipment and are satisfied with them, I'd stick to that manufacturer. If grease volume is important, get 18 volt equipment.
Lincoln grease guns are highly rated. After all, they have been in the grease gun business forever. But, you pay the price.
Go with Amazon, you can return the stuff if you don't like it :)
