All the grease guns I have are 10 year old crap low end models from an auto parts store. I'm due for an upgrade. Is there anything out there worth buying in the $30-40 range?

Don't use it enough to justify battery or pneumatic powered.
I bought mine off of Amazon. I just bought the one that had the best reviews and had a zerk fitting.
These kick ass in tight to reach spaces
There great, and last a long time. Our shop went thru 2 after the first one broke apon assembly.

Once you've settled on the gun, put a "Locknlube" on it - https://www.amazon.com/LockNLube-Grease-Gun-Coupler-Lock/dp/B00H7LPKKU/
Best invention ever when it comes to grease guns!!

That's pretty cool, but may add to much length in certain spots.
I need a new one too, so I'll pay attention to this.
I have this one, happy with it.

I've got the Lucas one as well. It's about a decade old and I have no complaints.
I've never spent big money on grease guns being in construction. Seems like they are always getting left out or misplaced. And never like the pistol grip, when doing a whole machine your hand gets wore out!
But I'm going to give that lock a try

Heard about those from Onelonleyfarmer on YouTube, they look really cool. Nothing worse than having the thing pop off the zerk and shoot grease everywhere.

I bought that one for less than $20 and love it. I've been using for the past two years to lube up the front end and u-joints of my Ranger at every oil change. Just make sure all the fittings are tight before you use it. I had grease coming out of everywhere the first time.
I have yet to find a manual one that doesnt leak out out of everywhere when sitting in my shed during the hot Louisiana summers. I'm not talking a bout the tip. I mean where it screws together, bleeder areas etc. It's like a liquid.
What type of great are you using?
General purpose stuff from Napa. I recently switched to Lucas Red and Tacky. It hasnt leaked yet. But it hasnt gotten to 80* in a while here i believe.
I have this one and it is good quality and works well: https://www.summitracing.com/parts/otc-2304/overview/
