Högert Technik HT8G905 lever grease gun review

A lever gun with both a flexible hose and a rigid tube supplied — the two ways to reach a nipple, in the same box.

The last word A complete lever gun. Budget a locking coupler on top.

What lands on the bench

A hand-lever grease gun for 400 g (14.1 oz) cartridges, with a 300 mm (11.8 in) hose and four-jaw coupler and a 150 mm (5.91 in) rigid steel tube.

Why a lever

Maximum pressure per stroke, and the most control at the end of a stroke. It needs two hands, which is its only real drawback.

The part that decides your experience

The coupler. A four-jaw coupler grips a nipple until pressure rises and then lets go, spraying grease. A locking coupler stays put and releases when you decide — it costs a few dollars and it is the difference between greasing things and giving up on it.

The cartridge

400 g (14.1 oz) is the common European size, which means refills are available anywhere.

Availability

On sale at around $80 on the American Amazon store at the time of checking.

What it does, and what it misses

Strengths

  • Both a hose and a rigid tube, so awkward and straight nipples are both covered
  • A lever gives the most pressure per stroke of any hand-operated design
  • 400 g (14.1 oz) is the standard cartridge size, so refills are easy to find

Compromises

  • A four-jaw coupler is the part that blows off under pressure — the first upgrade on any gun
  • Two hands needed, which is awkward in a wheel arch
  • 8000 PSI is a specification the coupler will never let you use

The questions that reach us

Is 8000 PSI meaningful?

Rarely. It describes what the gun can generate, not what reaches the fitting. The coupler blows off long before that pressure is achieved, which is why the coupler is the part worth upgrading.

Hose or rigid tube?

A rigid tube is faster and needs the nipple to be accessible in line; a hose reaches round corners at the cost of a little pressure and a second hand. Having both is the reason to choose a set like this.
