Don't waste your money on a cheap grease gun. It will leak grease all over the shelf you set it on and down the pegboard when you hang it up. Ask me how I know!! Spend the money to get a good one. Can't recommend one yet, as I haven't yet gone looking for a replacement.
I like a lever gun that puts out 10,000 PSI minimum. Alemite and Lincoln make good quality professional lever guns. Also, a flex hose comes in handy for tight spots but keep the solid tube extension that comes with the gun as sometimes it's the only thing that will reach when you can't get your hand in a tight spot to guide the flex hose. I have three guns set-up differently to cover all my needs. Since I have seven vehicles, three trailers, and two tractors I use mine more than most folks and I know that a quality gun will last years. Buy cheap = buy twice.

You might need two, if your using polyurethane control arm bushings. I have used synthetic grease since building my roadster for that purpose, and have a second grease gun with regular grease for other chassis lube points.
