Great tips Jen! Handy info for lots of folks, and you are right, almost impossible to change without getting grease SOMEWHERE you didnt intend! Thanks as always 😊👍
@Jennyfromtheshop It does have one. I tried everything I could, but nothing seemed to work. However, one thing that appeared to be helpful was replacing the cartridge once the grease-gun lost its resistance. When pumping grease, if the handle bottoms out easily, it is time to replace the grease cartridge.
Thanks for explaining this simply. I only have a couple of things that have greasable zerks these days so a tube lasts me for years. I always forget the correct way to load a new tube.
I have a tupid question, I've noticed once a new tube is installed you pushed the rod back in.I was under the impression that the rod applied pressure to the grease and as it was used the rod retreated to the closed position to indicate time to replace the tube.How else then would you know you was about out of grease in the new tube?
@@FlintSpall I believe the rod does apply pressure, but I’ve never seen one with the rod extended while in use unlike something like a caulking gun, for example. Coincidentally, my latest tube just ran out and I could feel it was getting low prior to it being completely used up. I try to keep backup tubes on hand. Hope that helps? I certainly don’t know everything so maybe someone else will weigh in.
@@Jennyfromtheshop You was one of two different demos that I watched and you both did the same, installed a new tube then pushed with force the rod back in.The gun you have is the exact one I have whereas the other demo had a gun with a vent to release air.Nevertheless,I gotta replace my tube for it no longer pumps anything out, so I'll do what y'all did.:>) Thanks
btw,I'm not the original owner.I acquired it at an auction and it must have been full because I don't know how many years I've used it to grease my lawn mower etc.
You are the greased tube master.😊

Nice job .....Jenny........good tips......Rick
If I knew then like now, I would have less grease all over the place.
Many thanks for the information.
Many Blessings, Jennifer!😮😊❤
You are so welcome!
Great tutorial Jenn! My biggest problem was purging the air after replacing the cartridge.
Do you have a valve on yours?

Thanks, Mark!
I remember to this day when I was taught how to put a grease cartridge in a grease gun and wish I had a dollar for every one I put in over the years.
thanks for the information.

Welcome, Dale! In the winter, I got through several tubes on my gas well because it runs more often. It's always a pain in the butt. lol
