Greasing trouble

Greasing trouble
I bought a professional Lincoln grease gun (model 1134) because I was tired of dealing with my cheapo Walmart one. When I tried to use it on the zerks, it would only lock onto half the zerk no matter how hard I pressed. Grease would just ooze around the side of the zerk. Has anyone else has trouble with the zerks on our D1s? I'm trying to figure out if they're just too small, or the tool just sucks.

I have the harbor freight air powered gun. The bendy hose fit fine on all the zerks.
I dont know if it is the same one that comes with the guns, but they sell a bendy hose for $3...

did the old one work? could just be the fitting on the end of the hose, they can be changed, and they will have problems at times.
i've got one of these, it's great, but i use it at work and work on caterpillar equipment, theyve got alot of grease fittings that are hard to get to so the magnetic base is handy.
Magnetic Grease Gun
the pistol grip ones aren't that great from my experience, I've got just a basic one at home and it does the job fine.

Pistol grip grease guns have their place. For instance, when greasing the centering ball on a Tom Woods DC driveshaft. Its a royal pain to hold the syringe tip into the flush zerk, hold the driveshaft up to widen the opening, and hold and pump a lever grease gun.

Just buy a bag of them at the local parts store. I did that to replace a few and in cases like yours. They are cheap....
