Not really sure which Lincoln grease gun I purchased: the Lincoln 1242 or the 1244. But I used it today and I really liked it. It works great and I did not make a huge mess loading the grease!
I added numbers to my vacuums and also recorded the serial numbers today. I should have done this yesterday but I forgot. The Police officer said that I needed the serial number to report an item stolen and the numbers on the vacuums will help with finding the serial numbers.
