Grease is a critical part of bike maintenance, but many bicycle grease guns are pretty average. We've had a Finishline grease gun for several years and it regularly suffers from a loss of pressure as well as leaking grease out of the plunger handle. So after throwing an adult tantrum, we went down a rabbit hole to find an alternative.

This grease gun is the culmination of that rabbit hole. It's stout, it's silvery and we think that it's sexy. But more importantly, it's precise, consistent and easy to operate with one hand. It's quite similar to the Park Tool GG-1 Grease Gun and the Motorex Grease Gun. 

The only thing we don't like about this gun is that you're committed to one type of grease per gun. Though it's a worthy tradeoff in our opinion. Set it and forget it.

Features:

• 80mL volume
  
• The nozzle shape allows direct injection into grease nipples directly

Filling instructions:

1. Unscrew the top of the grease gun to open the barrel
2. Add grease to the barrel. As you do so, tamp it down to remove air pockets. Continue filling until the barrel is completely full.
3. Screw the top back on and tighten it
4. Using a screwdriver, gently push the plunger up from the bottom until you can't push it further very easily. Skip this step at your own peril
5. Tighten the top fully
6. Prime the gun by pumping the handle to draw grease through the nozzle. Point the nozzle somewhere that can get messy. Do this until grease is coming through the gun consistently
7. Done!

Recommended grease:
We recommend using Parktool PolyLube 1000 as your general purpose grease. Unfortunately we are unable to sell this product but you should be able to find it fairly easily and cheaply locally.
