Full details
The Kielder Grease Gun (Kwt-555-06) is designed for professionals and serious DIYers needing fast, effective lubrication for vehicles and machinery. Its key benefit is delivering high-pressure grease with user-controlled flow rates, significantly speeding up maintenance tasks. A potential caveat is that batteries and a charger are sold separately, requiring an additional purchase for immediate use if not already within the Kielder TYPE18 system.

There is an adjustable flow rate dial on the tool, typically with 5 speed settings, allowing you to control the amount of grease dispensed per trigger pull.
What is the maximum pressure the gun can deliver?
The Kielder Grease Gun delivers a high pressure of up to 10,000psi.
Troubleshooting
Grease gun not dispensing grease
Check battery charge and connection. Ensure the grease cartridge is properly installed and primed, or that the bulk fill is correctly seated. Verify the pressure release valve is closed. Check for blockages in the hose or nozzle.
Low pressure output
Ensure the selected flow rate is appropriate for the task. Check for air pockets in the system; prime the pump again. Verify the grease viscosity is suitable for the tool and ambient temperature.
Leaking grease
Check the seal on the grease cartridge or bulk fill. Ensure the barrel is securely tightened. Inspect the hose connections and the gun's nozzle for damage.
Battery not recognized
Ensure the battery is a Kielder TYPE18 compatible model and is correctly seated. Clean the battery contacts and the tool's contact points.
