Has anyone put a quick disconnect on a grease gun?

[Fallon]

I’ve got probably 5 manual guns. I’ve never used any of them since I got my battery gun a few years ago.

Same.

Lock N Lube makes it easy to disconnect.

I use a couple ideas expressed above. I prefer a tube rather than a hose so I can apply pressure to those worn zerks and I have a right angle adapter on it.

I use a Milwaukee cordless grease gun. I have no plans to get a second one because I like the plastic case that comes with the kit. Every other grease gun I have owned has always found dirt and grime while leaving grease on things it never touched. With the case that doesn't happen. But it takes up a lot of room on the shelf. So one is enough. This week I'll find a 1/8" NPT quick disconnect and see how well it works.

Grease guns get up to 3500 lbs of pressure. I had a D7 Cat and a grease gun is how you tighten the tracks. Just keep two wrenches handy and change hose ends.
ALWAYS wear gloves. I've seen more than one fella in the hospital trying to save an arm because grease was shot under his skin on a finger. Them battery guns get treated like Fisher Price toys, but they ain't no toy.

It’s more like 10,000 psi.

Man, I won't sleep for two days knowing that. But I did mean the hand pumpers. I don't have any battery anything except flashlight and vehicle.

Well I’ve had that notion several times. I’m 68 years old. They say only a fool never changes his mind. Well, my mind changes rapidly. Go to the coffee shop and someone say they put out to much grease. Any way I just don’t think I need one. It’s to easy and infrequent. Just be a new toy

A pump gun isn’t that bad for hitting a few zerks on a tractor loader. I was laying under my semi trailer today greasing the brake slack adjusters thinking how much worse the job would suck with a pump gun. If I’m greasing my mini x and skid steer together that’s a couple tube job and that’s no fun with a pump gun either.

Lock a lube well worth the expense. Especially if you have a hard to reach spots that you need to grease regularly.

Clip it on and then get into a more comfortable position to pump the grease.

Had a new guy at work complaining about greasing the pivot points on semi trailer air brakes.

I passed him my pneumatic grease gun with the lock and lube.

He then realized why I said it was no big deal and I didn't mind climbing under the trailer to grease them

I bought a barrel mounted pneumatic greaser on marketplace. It’s nice but it only came with like 10ft of hose. I need to swap that out to get much use from.

I just have the pneumatic that accepts standard grease cartridges.
