Frequently Asked Questions

Which grease gun kit is better for a beginner DIY mechanic — GETLMUL or Thorstone?

I’d push a beginner toward the GETLMUL kit because it comes with 13+ pieces right in the box, including a grease injector needle and a clean cap that make first-time use less messy. The Thorstone is great, but with only 7 pieces you’ll likely need to buy extra couplers or nozzles later. For someone just starting out, having everything included is a huge time saver.

Is the GETLMUL worth it over the Thorstone for the extra 1000 PSI?

Honestly, for most DIY jobs like greasing lawn mower spindles, car ball joints, or tractor fittings, you won’t notice the difference between 7000 and 8000 PSI. That extra headroom only matters if you’re working on stubborn, heavily packed bearings or industrial equipment that needs serious force. For the typical home mechanic, the Thorstone’s 7000 PSI is plenty, and the GETLMUL’s higher rating is more of a bonus than a necessity.

Which kit has more accessories included — GETLMUL or Thorstone?

The GETLMUL kit blows the Thorstone away in this department. You get 13+ pieces including an 18-inch resin flex hose, extension bend pipe, straight pipe, 2 normal couplers, 2 sharp nozzles, a quick locking coupler, a grease injector needle, a clean grease cap, a towel, gloves, and a storage bag. The Thorstone only includes 7 pieces — a locking coupler, a regular coupler, a sharp nozzle, the gun, the hose, and 2 metal pipes.

Which grease gun has better customer reviews — GETLMUL or Thorstone?

The Thorstone has more total reviews at 1,741 with a 4.3-star average, which gives it a longer track record of reliability. The GETLMUL has a slightly higher 4.4-star rating but only 492 reviews since it launched in January 2025. If you trust crowd-sourced feedback, the Thorstone’s larger sample size is more reassuring. But the GETLMUL’s higher rating suggests early buyers are very happy with it.

Can I use either grease gun for my boat trailer or marine equipment?

Yes, both kits can handle marine applications like boat trailer wheel bearings and hubs. The GETLMUL is specifically marketed for marine use and has a die-cast aluminum body that resists corrosion better than standard steel. The Thorstone uses alloy steel and metal construction, which is durable but might need more care in saltwater environments. I’d give the edge to the GETLMUL for marine work.

Which grease gun is lighter and easier to use for overhead work?

The Thorstone is the lighter option at 3.55 pounds compared to the GETLMUL’s 3.78 pounds. That might not sound like much, but when you’re reaching up to grease tractor PTO shafts or overhead suspension points, every ounce counts. The Thorstone also has a reinforced spring design that pushes air out, so you spend less time bleeding the gun and more time actually greasing.
