Grease zerks

Post by seamhead17 »

I purchased the grease nozzle from New wave that goes on grease gun from harbor freight. Has any body found a better way of delivering the grease. The gun is big and it will not allow you get the nozzle Straight on. Thank you. Hd510.

Have you looked into a flexible rubber hose for the grease gun? My larger gun has always had a 6" or so flexible hose, not a solid tube like on my small gun.

Keep in mind that you may not want to use grease. The last part of the Wikipedia article on Zerks mentions that the same fitting can be used for way oil. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grease_fitting

I bought a Makita electric grease gun from Amazon. It works great for greasing my Camaster. A little pricey though.
