If you are looking for a handy tool to apply lubrication to various types of fittings, a Grease Gun is a great choice. It is used to apply grease from a grease cartridge through an aperture to the nipple or fitting to which it needs to be applied. Its channels help to get the correct amount of grease to the right spot. It is an essential tool for DIY enthusiasts and professionals. However, if you don't own a Grease Gun, you should be able to find a replacement.
Different types of grease guns operate in a similar way, but it's important to read the manufacturer's directions before using one. Most grease guns have a plunger and a catch in the tool body. To use the tool, remove the old grease tube from the gun. You might be able to force the tube out, but it's better to check the gasket to ensure that it's not jammed. In addition, the tool should have a gauge that can help you measure the amount of grease applied.
Most grease guns come with a standard connection adapter, but there are several variations based on your application. A standard hydraulic coupler is the most common type, but you can also find some variations that will fit different types of fittings. A 90-degree adapter is an excellent choice if you are working in tight areas. Another type is a needle-end adapter, which provides a thin layer of grease to confined areas. Another type is a three-jaw swivel coupler that offers several locking positions.
