Why Choose Lever Action Grease Guns?

Lever action grease guns are the industry standard for high-pressure lubrication, and for good reason. Compared to pistol grease guns, they deliver significantly more output per stroke as a high pressure grease gun and handle heavy-duty, continuous lubrication tasks that other types simply cannot sustain. That is why workshops, factories and field crews worldwide rely on lever action as their primary lubrication equipment.

As the most trusted type of manual grease gun, with operating pressures up to 12,000 PSI and precise control over grease flow, lever action models prevent both under- and over-lubrication, protecting seals, bearings and joints from premature failure. For professionals who cannot afford downtime, there is no substitute.

Why Choose STAR Lever Action Grease Guns?

  • Quadra-Cut Precision Technology for industry-leading pressure
  • Drop-resistant steel and die-cast head options
  • Multiple filling methods: cartridge, bulk, suction, filler pump
  • Dual piston models for 2× volume per stroke
  • Available in standard, wide barrel, and high-capacity variants
  • Steel extensions, flexible hoses, or combination kits
  • Custom OEM branding and private label manufacturing

Frequently Asked Questions: Lever Action Grease Guns

What is a lever action grease gun?

A lever action grease gun is a manual lubrication tool that uses a hand-operated lever to push grease under high pressure into bearings, joints and shafts. It is the most widely used type of manual grease gun in automotive workshops, manufacturing plants, agricultural machinery and construction equipment maintenance. STAR lever action grease guns deliver pressures up to 12,000 PSI with Quadra-Cut Precision Technology for consistent output.

How do you load a lever action grease gun?

STAR lever action grease guns support four loading methods: cartridge, bulk, suction and filler pump. For standard 400g (14 oz.) cartridge loading, pull back the plunger rod, unscrew the barrel head, insert the cartridge open-end first, reassemble and release the rod. For bulk filling, use a grease bucket pump connected to the filler plug. After loading, always pump the lever 6 to 8 times with the head loosened slightly to release air pockets before use.

What size grease cartridge fits a standard grease gun?

Standard lever action grease guns accept 400g (14 oz.) grease cartridges with a 57.15 mm (2 1/4 inch) diameter, which is the most common size worldwide. For the Australian and New Zealand market, 450g cartridges are the standard. Our S-716 Australian Model is specifically designed for 450g cartridges. Mini grease guns (S-701 to S-703) use smaller 85g (3 oz.) cartridges. When buying cartridges, check that the diameter matches your barrel size. All STAR grease guns also support bulk filling and suction loading as alternatives to cartridges.

What pressure does a lever grease gun generate?

Standard lever action grease guns generate between 6,000 and 10,000 PSI. High-performance models like the STAR S-707 series with Quadra-Cut technology can reach up to 12,000 PSI, enough for heavy-duty industrial bearings and sealed joints. The variable stroke lever allows higher pressures from short strokes or higher volume from full strokes.

What is the difference between lever and pistol grease guns?

Lever action grease guns use a full-length lever stroke to generate higher pressure (up to 12,000 PSI) and more grease per stroke (1 to 2 grams), making them ideal for heavy-duty continuous lubrication. Pistol grip grease guns use a trigger mechanism for one-handed operation (3,000 to 10,000 PSI, 0.4 to 0.68g per stroke), which is better for tight spaces and lighter tasks. Both are essential lubrication equipment. The choice depends on application demands.

How do I fix an air lock in a grease gun?

An air lock is the most common reason a grease gun stops pumping. First, loosen the barrel head half a turn to let trapped air escape. Pump the lever 8 to 10 times. If grease still won't flow, open the air bleeder valve (small screw on the gun head) while pumping. For stubborn air locks, remove the barrel completely, pull the plunger rod back, and reattach. Air locks typically happen after loading a new cartridge or when the gun has been stored for a long time.

How many pumps of grease does a fitting need?

Most standard grease fittings (zerk fittings) need 3 to 5 pumps from a lever action grease gun, which delivers approximately 1 to 2 grams per stroke. Stop when you see fresh grease starting to push out around the seal. This means the old grease has been purged and the bearing is fully packed. Over-greasing can blow seals and cause as much damage as under-greasing.

What type of grease should I use in a grease gun?

Most lever action grease guns work best with NLGI Grade 1 or Grade 2 lithium-based grease. NLGI 2 is the standard for general purpose automotive and industrial use. NLGI 1 is softer and flows better in cold conditions. For high-temperature applications, use synthetic or polyurea grease. For food processing equipment, use food-grade grease. Always match the grease type to your equipment manufacturer's recommendations.

Can you mix different types of grease in a grease gun?

No. Mixing incompatible greases can cause them to soften, harden or separate, leading to bearing failure. Lithium and polyurea greases are incompatible. Lithium and lithium-complex greases are generally compatible. If you must switch grease types, fully clean the barrel, hose and coupler with solvent before refilling. Best practice is to dedicate one grease gun per grease type and label each gun clearly.

Where are lever action grease guns used?

Lever action grease guns are used across a wide range of industries including automotive, construction, agriculture, mining, marine and aerospace. Wind turbine servicing, factory production lines and any application involving bearings, joints, pins or sliding surfaces that require regular grease lubrication benefits from a lever action grease gun.

How should I store a grease gun?

Store your grease gun horizontally or with the barrel pointing down to prevent oil separation. Never store it with the barrel pointing up, as the oil in the grease will migrate to the top and leave dry, hardened grease at the bottom. Keep the coupler capped or covered to prevent dust and dirt from entering. If storing for more than a month, pump a small amount of grease through the coupler before use to clear any dried grease from the hose.

How do you get a stuck grease coupler off a fitting?

First release the pressure by disconnecting the hose or opening the bleeder valve. Never pull a coupler off under pressure. Then twist the coupler while pulling straight back. If it's still stuck, use a flat screwdriver to gently pry the coupler jaws open. To prevent this, use a locking grease coupler which has a release mechanism built in. STAR offers both standard push-on and locking couplers as accessories.

What is the difference between NLGI 1 and NLGI 2 grease?

NLGI 2 is the standard, general purpose grease used in most automotive and industrial applications. It has a consistency similar to peanut butter. NLGI 1 is softer and flows more easily, making it better for cold weather, centralized lubrication systems and applications where grease needs to reach tight clearances. Most STAR lever action grease guns work with both NLGI 1 and NLGI 2. For very cold environments, NLGI 0 or 00 may be needed.

How often should I grease my equipment?

Greasing frequency depends on the application. Automotive chassis fittings typically need greasing every 5,000 to 10,000 km, while industrial bearings may need daily or weekly lubrication. High-speed, high-temperature or high-load bearings need more frequent greasing. Check your equipment manufacturer's maintenance schedule for specific intervals. As a rule of thumb: if you can hear a squeak or feel increased resistance, you are already overdue.
