You beat me to it. This is a gun board, right?

I have one that I like, but I don't know what the brand is. I will say, get one like this:



Not one like this:



Nothing more annoying (and messy) than trying to hold the nozzle on the zerk fitting with one hand and trying to actuate that second type with the other. I was a lube tech for a summer, and it made me really, really hate those.

Oh, and flexible hoses...those solid steel tubes are nice if you have a ton of clearance, but let's face it, that never happens.

Precisely why you want a Locknlube with flex hose, the nozzle locks on and the flex hose reaches almost any zerk.

I have both Lincoln manual and Lincoln pneumatic. Storing grease guns is a problem, because they can leak when the grease gets warmer (in a garage, for example). I store mine with a velcro wrap around the handle and tube to keep the handle pinned to the side of the gun, then place them upside down in a five gallon bucket. I also put an old towel in the bottom of the bucket, replaced occasionally as necessary.

I cut the leg out of an old pair of Jeans, and slide the grease gun (older than dirt, who knows who made it but it works well) inside when not in use,
