Lock on grease couplers

[4wd]

Obviously have their uses but look big and clumsy to me, don't want to keep switching the couple or gun.
There seem to be a lot of chinese copies of better quality brands e.g. Locknlube which as usually is more in £ then they pay in $ over there.

Got one last summer

can be a bit numb, both in length and girth but saves a hand in lots of situations. Think it was an Amazon jobby

That looks a bit bigger than a G coupler, probably the best £18 I ever spent

Probably 3.5 - 4"

I might try one of the G coupler ones I do have two grease guns for any it won't fit.

Having started a collection of cordless tools, I quite fancy a battery grease gun but costing a tonne of wheat seems an extravagance.

It's not too difficult to pump a normal one , is it?
One that refilled automatically would be better

There's always a nipple that needs the coupler holding in the exact right place to take grease then you have to pump against your leg or something solid

You have the phantom grease gun emptier visit too

 

[Choochter]

Standard Operating Procedure here is:
1) walk from machine to workshop
2) pick up grease gun and check it has grease in
3) walk all the way back to the machine
4) put 1 1/2 squirts of grease into machine before the gun empties
5) walk back to workshop
6) manage to flick grease on myself getting old cartridge out
7)pull tab completely off new grease cartridge
8)get the end off the new cartridge with the assistance of a screwdriver and a Stanley knife, while flicking more grease onto myself.
9) relax, walk back and grease machine.

I reckon I've sorted that one after years of cursing. Home (old fella) made slag hammer with the handle in the vice, hook cartridge on the chipping end and wiggle

I think I'm the only person here who greases stuff
Well the boss does too, sometimes
I grease a lot because I'm too lazy to change bearings and universal joints

Fashioned an add on for those awkward nipples

 

[4wd]

I have found about 1 in 5 are difficult or impossible with the g coupler.
It isn't the width so much as the length (that's what she said )
