Grease gun heads

[Vinpetrol]

I’m having trouble finding decent grease gun heads for my guns . Anyone had this issue and found better quality ones ?

Here we go

I did actually try one of these :

Safelock Quick Release 4 Jaw Grease Gun Coupler Hydraulic Nipple Zerk https://amzn.eu/d/2yJqKEO

Hit and miss but handy on easy to get to nipples...so to speak.

 

[Smiffy]

Three jaw alemite chucks are spot on. Never used the safelock type but then again using the alemite I've never had a problem unless the nipple is mullered and needs replacing

Nowt wrong with g couplers apart from the price as long as they fit, won't fit on some recessed nips. The only g coupler I've had bother with just needed a good clean out. I always have grease guns in pairs one with g and one with takis own end (which I've never bothered to find out where to get them)

When I got my Taki grease gun same as yours I thought it would be absolutely useless. But actually find it surprisingly effective and I rarely get air locks in it either.

I've a few Alemite guns, but put G,s on 'em from day one, so no idea what the Alemite couplings're like?

The alemite couplings are far better than other standard one. Like anything they wear out and need changing but my one will grease stuff that other things won't touch and I can stand on the handle when trying to grease blocked fittings. Whereas alot I have used will leak with that much pressure applied.

Better to change the fitting?Bloke got 'shot' in the leg when ball came out of over pressured fitting few years back,local to where I lived then,turned septic wasn't good for him

I'll bear that in mind in the future
