IPA Grease Fitting Cleaner in the UK?

[Woodworks]

Just came across these and if they work as well as described would be a godsend. Snag is they don't appear to available in the UK well not for sensible money anyway.

Anyone know where I might get one or something similar?

Sorry, valid question. I just really enjoy using that occasionally.

don't waste your money is my opinion you can get 10000 psi out of a grease gun the only bother I've ever had is packed dirt and it wont clear that

Getting the right term is clearly the key. Tried various things but didn't get any result. Thanks

Local engineering firm recommended them so thought it worth a try. Got some bearings that cant get greases at present and would need to drill out the pins to change them so thought this worth a try.

If I ever have a problem I generally just change the nipple.

I got one of these and use Kerosine as the light fluid, used it a fair bit and so far it's been good.

The best thing you can get for a grease gun is a G Coupler

I've tried posting the links from Amazon but not working so just do a search on Amazon.co.uk for:

G.COUPLER + G.SPARES Kit - ⅛" NPT Grease Gun

 

And for the nipple cleaner search for this on Amazon.co.uk

Hope this helps

I`ve got one, used it with success a few times, also failed as well, usually ended up using heat to soften the old grease, to get the new in.

I got it from a company called or something similar to northern tools, whether they are part of the company you listed I don't know, but it was in this country, they used to send a catalogue through post, I don't think they are trading any more.

Think it was about £13 when I got it.
