They don't leak and don't fall off.
And their guns are really good too. The two speed pistol grip is all you need outside of the workshop.

also have one of these three jaw jobs (similar to the Saker ones) which seem to grip better than the original 4 jaw genuine G-couplers (which I also have and leak the most/given the most trouble)
Saker version

A variation on the theme - probably better for tight spaces
One thing to remember: grease nipples come in many different shapes -some easier to grip and seal than others

Must admit now I’ve gone cordless grease gun I don’t use the g -coupler as you have a spare hand anyway.. biggest problem is getting the connector off when it’s under pressure!

It arrived today - almost as shown. Six jaws, not four - probably better.
I'll get to test it in a few weeks.

Had my grease gun stolen out back of truck as it’s a dewalt one in box guess they thought it was a drill not a grease gun covered in grease
Had g coupler on it and had a long thin adapter for Takeuchi boom pins was a good find but can’t find it again. Must have been about 8mm thick and normal threaded connector on end and 120mm long didn’t clip over nipple but could press and hold it on can’t find it now to replace it
Ok found it

I've got one, but yet to fit it.
I need to swap a few nipples to allow access for the longer chucks.
I assumed the collar was spring-loaded and only needed a fraction of a turn to open/release, but it's a fairly normal thread and may take two hands to nip it up.
I suspect it'll be easier to use on a rigid rather than a flexible tube.

What’s the point of them ? If you need to turn the end to lock them on and you need to change some nipples what is the advantage over other grease gun heads ?

Changing the nipples isn't a big issue, I like having straight-on access as it gives the best chance of a seal regardless of chuck style.
As for the chuck it's self, I'm failing to get excited.
Maybe, once on, it'll lock solidly, maybe it'll give a superior seal.
Maybe not.

Got the dewalt battery gun every time you take g coupler off another squirt seeps out meaning need to wipe off to save a mess?
