Grease guns
Posted: Thu May 18, 2017 2:43 pm
I thought grease guns are simple objects that just work, like a socket wrench, for example.
However, the one I have to fill the trailer bearings seems to get in a state where it's not empty, but doesn't pump (and I've never managed to not create some mess when switching cartridges). As I don't have any other experience (or needs for using one) besides this one tool in this one application, I thought I'd ask here whether I'm simply missing some grease monkey secret, or whether there's a way to tell that the one I have is bad.
When it does work for a stretch, it seems to work as advertised.
