I don’t know if it’s the best, their marketing certainly tries to convince you it is, but I have tubes of Lucas Xtra Heavy Duty that haven’t separated after 10 years.
Grease gun that doesn’t leak?

from the threads where the cylinder attaches to the "head" and from the hole where the plunger pushes into the cylinder.

I bought the "Slippery Pete" grease gun from Amazon. It leaks a little like about every grease gun, right at the base where the handle goes in, but has been pretty good to me. The reason I bought the Slippery Pete is because it does a nice job of using up the entire grease cartridge. It also seems pretty good about purging air quickly when you replace the grease cartridge.

I have one of these too. I'll admit it better than the "generic" one I also have.

I have a Lucas. It doesn’t leak at all from the plunger side. It does weep a bit from the zerk fitting (I assume from the remaining pressure) and from the couple of pressure relief valves on top (also probably bc I never remember to immediately relieve the pressure).
