Ok, now Wranglerstar I have a question for you I believe I know how to use a grease gun for the fact that I need to grease my boat every season... but now on my boat there is grease ports that you must “over grease” for the fact that you have to push all the old grease out and once you start to see clean grease it’s done... any opinions or thoughts?

Just a tip on that bleeder you threaded out of the head of the gun. The ball on the end has a spring on the back side. All you need is a little screw driver to push the ball in and it will open up. No need to thread it out and make a big mess. Usually when I bleed the gun, I lock the pull rod into place and push it in as i have the bleeder open. As well when doing the first few pumps with the hand grip. It makes quick work of any air. Another easy way to get an empty tube out. Thread the head of the gun off first, then pull the plunger back. It is much easier when you do it this way, as you are not trying to pull a vacuum inside. Once you have it pulled out. let it go back into the body, it will push the tube right out.

Thank you, Wranglerstar. Not only did I learn how to use a grease gun properly, but more importantly, I just inadvertently learn a great intellectual approach to dealing with others, especially with my sons whom I tend to be harsh on. A lot of times, I teach them with subconscious thinking that they should know what I knew, and I expect too much from them. When they can't get it right the first few times, I became harsh on them. You are absolutely right that it's not fair. It's hard to think outside this box we're in. The weight of your words will carry with me forever. I want to say THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart for opening my eyes to these things that we take for granted.

I use an electric rechargeable grease gun. That nipple that you called a bleeder is actually a fitting for filling the gun from a bulk source. I purchase my grease in 5 gallon buckets and I have a hand pump on the bucket for filling my guns. Press that nipple down on the hand pump and pump away to fill the gun. Most grease guns have a bleeder port in the side of the head. Unscrew the barrel a couple turns to uncover it.

Years ago I picked up a great tip on zerk fittings that are filled with hardened old grease that cannot be ejected by new grease. Train a heat gun on zerk, at some point old grease will soften and almost bubble out -at that point insert your grease gun and you can easily push out now softened old grease

He applied and the Foreman drove him out to a Dozer to see if he knew his stuff. The man spent several minutes inspecting the Dozer, checking oil, filters and what not. He than walked back to the Foreman and asked for a Grease Gun. The Foreman looked at him and said, "I've had a dozen guys out here and you're the first to inspect the machine than ask for a Grease Gun. You're Hired."

Tractors, bailers, rakes, etc. I had never used a grease gun, and the mechanic laughed at me. Every one I had used since then has aggravated me Grease gets everywhere, gun won’t prime, grease comes out of the bleeder, fitting won’t come off the zerk and you have to yank it. This makes it look easy and now I know there’s an actual process. Thank you for showing me your “right way”.

Excellent job Cody at explaining how to prime a grease gun. My father gave me a grease gun last year for Christmas and explained the whole process to me. He recently retired after 40 years from Westrock, a paper mail in Virginia. He worked preventive maintenance AKA the oil gang, he specialized in greasing paper machines and conveyor belts. I'm sure he would have a few complaints regarding your video. To start off with I personally like a flexible hose. He and everybody who worked in his department absolutely hated them. Flexible hoses are complete garbage that wear out after a few weeks of industrial use. So they would use standard grease guns take the steel pipe. Put it into a vice and straighten it out. Then they would add an additional 12-24in extension on top of that. Making their grease guns about 3 foot long. Then they would install Alemite 6509-D Swivel Hydraulic Coupler. So what they do is take the tip of the grease gun and press it hard against the grease fitting till they have a connection and use one hand to hold the grease gun and the other one to pump it. Flexible hoses just slip off and you're unable to use both hands making it extremely hard to pump enough grease. Some of the machines my father was greasing would require two or three tubes of grease each per fitting. So you would need both hands to actually switch out the tube of grease while working. Which is why flexible hoses just don't work. Not to mention your typically sticking your arms in between moving conveyor belts and steam lines making things extremely dangerous. Probably the main reason alot of the guys were using extensions on their grease guns. My father would come home on occasions with burns, where he bumped his arm on a steam line. I know alot of individuals like the cordless grease guns. His department had them for about three months and they would just wear them out. So they would stick to using traditional grease guns. They would replace them about every 4 to 6 months and I'm talking about the high dollar steel grease guns. Them cheap grease guns from tractor supply would hold up about month and fail. Overall I think a locking grease coupler is the way to go. I also recommend for anybody getting a grease gun to get yourself a four-way multitool. But if you want my father's advice a 3foot extension with Alemite Swivel Hydraulic Coupler is the way to go.

OK so having not read all 811 comments I apologise if someone has already covered this. Cody are you aware that the reason you have trouble getting tho nozzle over the nipple is that they, wait for it... they are adjustable! Yes that's right. No need (if you are on a tight budget) to buy the fancy locking one, nice as it is. As you rotate the original nozzle the little jaws inside open up allowing the zirk easy entry. Once it's on twist it back and it closes for a tight seal. Pump the greese, rotate to unlock and it pops right off again with no struggle! I subscribe and love the channel 💕 hope my comment helps someone.

Great video,. I’ve been greasing machines for 40 years and didn’t know about the locking tips. I’m ordering one today! Thanks. The only thing I would add is if you are working in dirt or sand like I do, clean the zerk with a shop towel first. Adds life to your tips and zeros. Thanks again

Well said. My 2 cents, clean the zerk before and after application. ;-) On my personal equipment I go a step further. All the zerks are covered with rubber caps. The ones used for bleed nipples on brakes and similar. Work wonders and everything is kept "clean". Can get them quite cheap on 10x packs or more. So always have some around. ;-) Cheers

Getting a grease gun up and running was one of the tasks I hated the most way back when I was working in a workshop. This was always left to the youngest guys in the shop, and you can guarantee the tradesmen would go and find the nastiest dirtiest Land Rover or something similar to do a lube job on before handing it to us to refill. But, as you say, it is something that a guy should know. it's all basics and on the same line as priming a water pump, or even changing a tyre (there are so many guys out there who can't do this these days).

I work in a big fleet garage. We all use battery guns!! Air guns and hand pump guns are all gone.. The big air gun is covered with dust and used maybe 1 time ever 2 to 3 years when we re’pin a backhoe or something.. The battery guns are it 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Truck Mechanic I would not have anything but a manual grease gun. I live of grid and keeping batteries charged is tenuous at best. A battery gun with a dead battery is money wasted. My point is simple. What works for one person may not work for the next guy.

Darrel Carson,, In your case I would have 2 kinds The pistol grip one hand pump and the one with the lever handle!! When you Grease Big Trucks (Salt Trucks) all the time you find what works ok and what REALLY works!! But in your case hand pump 100% 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

I agree with you that the battery powered grease guns are VERY handy. The only time I use the pump style now is when I need to be careful to not blow out a seal. One example is the hubs on my trailer. It has the easy lube axles and they recommend not using the battery or air powered ones because they can blow out the seal on the inside of the axles. For those....I still use the manual methods.

I'm a machinist, I have found that when someone says "there's nothing to that, it's dead simple" it means that they don't know enough to appreciate how little they know(and too pig-headed to listen and learn). This is particularly true with simple tools and tasks, few people know how to chose and use, brooms, files or hacksaws. I recently came to the conclusion that I don't know what type of grease I need for a recently purchased car, but since I am aware of this I will find out before servicing my car(as soon as the factory repair manual arrives).

Worked for a company that had a really good NAPA lever grease gun that didn't work, I recommended a new tip but they said no. throw the old one away and buy a new one. I kept the old one,bought the new gun. I bought a new tip myself. The old one worked great, So a freebie for me!

Most people don't know how to use the standard coupler that comes pre-installed on most grease guns. The collar can be turned to tighten and loosen the grip on a zerk the same way a trailer hitch is tightened and loosened on a ball. I didn't realize this myself until recently. With that said, these new quick attach and release connectors are faster and more convenient. I recently purchased some items from Lock n Lube myself.

I guess I'm old school in that I use bulk grease that I manually load via a putty knife in my grease guns. I have one with a rigid tube for easy to access areas, and one with the flexible hose for those hard-to-reach zerks. On three U-joints on my Kubota mower I have to use a needle fitting to service zerks that can't be accessed any other way due to the tight clearance of the U-joint components that won't allow the normal tip to fit, a royal PITA. The Lock-n-Lube is a winner.

A little tip I learned when you have a stubborn zerk, that won't allow grease in. Remove the zerk, put it in a vise and then attach the grease gun and put grease in it and it will clear the blockage easily.
