How do you store your grease guns? Login/Join

I've bought cheap ones, expensive ones and in between. They all ooze and leak when stored. I'm looking for some good ideas to store them in my shop to keep them relatively handy and clean.

Laying on news paper, flex hose tip in an old med bottle. Shop rags always near ! I do clean it up after use.
In an uncooled shop I doubt there is any way to keep them clean, I gave up. Lol

I use a PVC Pipe set-up similar to this one. https://www.pinterest.com/pin/351421577154596555/

I hang it from a wire coat hanger, on the end of a shelf, and put an empty plastic coffee container under it.

I don’t know of any way to keep it from dripping. All you can do is minimize the mess.

In the basement, on a unfinished wooden board, seems to absorb the discharge Smile

Have about 6 or so and a bunch of oil cans too.

Funny, there was a thread less than a year ago about this topic. I store mine in a gallon ziploc bag (not zipped shut).

Apparently, modern technology has not yet solved the problem. Smile

In the original now-soaked cardboard box, in a plastic tub on the steel shelves in the garage.

I have a shelf lined with "New Pig" oil absorbent pads. I buy them by the case from Amazon.

Unless I have a big (and messy) project, a case will last me a year or more. Change them out as needed on the shelf, lay them on my work bench for working on oily/greasy stuff, also make a nice clean place to work on carburetors.




Be careful when following the masses. Sometimes the M is silent.

Store them in a cooler environment. If they set in a hot shop or garage, the oil and soap will separate. Do you have someplace else you could keep them?

I put mine inside the leg that I cut off a pair of Denim jeans ,

fold the hose part up by the handle, insert, and store on top of a steel cabinet,

denim absorbs whatever drippage it has
