    Lincoln pistol grip, dispensing rate is less than a lever gun but the simplicity of the pistol grip makes up for it.....

    Air for around house, from harbor freight with coupons not too expensive.
    take a lever on long road trips, just in case.

    pistol: hold the end on the zerk with one hand and squeeze the handle with the other. I use a flex hose on the gun to get to zerks at odd angles and the end often won't lock onto the zerk like it is suppose to, so I hold it on the zerk so the grease goes into the zerk instead of all over the outside.

    Get a lock n lube fitting and never have to hold the end again.
