Need mini grease gun

[Duffyjr]

I have a nice regular size gun but I only have one thing that needs greasing now a days and I am wasting money on the big tubes because I can't use it up fast enough before it leaks all the good stuff out so I'm in search of a mini 3oz gun but most don't have good reviews. The link below goes to one that does have good reviews but some complain that it's hard to remove from the zerk. But some say the female end is adjustable. I looked on mine and it doesn't appear to be adjustable or it's so old it's stuck. It just works, goes on and seals well and comes off easy.

Please educate me on this and maybe some links to a good one, I don't mind spending the money on one but I only need it for my lawn mower so I'll only use 3 or 4 times a year.

Thanks guys.

Have you tried to tilt the grease gun off to the side and twist to come off the zerk rather than a straight pull?

I have this and I like it a lot but I'm not sure if you can swap the end on it. Probably not.

Not cheap but great quality. they were USA made but I have no idea if they still are.

I have one of these and use it for my Wheelhorse tractor. Works well.

I've owned the Plews Mini Grease Gun, Model# 30-132 for years. Granted I don't use it that often but it's been a serviceable and reliable little grease gun that doesn't take up much storage space. It's worked fine for me. They make other similar mini models but this the one I have.

Probably a gold old US made one though.

You really only need a mini grease gun because the normal sized ones are too large to fit into spaces on most cars.

buy different grease that doesnt leak out. use regular size grease gun.

The one I have I have no problem with it's the one I linked to that reviewers are saying it's hard to get off but some say it's adjustable.

Does any one know if most to the couplers are adjustable.

I have one but the tubes of grease are not so easy to find and not much choice if you do find them.

And this is why I never have purchased one. WalMart used to sell one of this size of gun and, IIRC, it included an extra tube or two of grease.
How good was the grease? I had no idea, but if it was sold on a price-point at WM, chances are the grease was not a fantastic quality lubricant.
So...does anyone here know of a good quality grease sold in this size of cartridge?

For $3.29 I can buy a three pack of cheap grease at walmart. The tubes are plastic.

Even if I throw out the grease, I now have three plastic tubes that will never go bad. A popsickle stick and a little time, and its easy to fill from the 1lb tubs. Marginally harder to do from the 140z long tubes.

Neither of these seems to separate while in its native, sealed state. Only after spending time in the grease gun...

Amsoil only sells their NLGI #2 in 3oz. Redline does not offer any grease in 3oz. Those are my go to brands and haven't looked elsewhere.

Here is some north of the border. Saw it at Canadian Tire out west today.

I have a 3oz gun from Napa which is used with Superlube for PU bushings. Its caused me no trouble (although I did switch to Jetlube silicone grease in the 14oz tube for that application last year).
