These are great! 
Move also tried other couplings (spared etc) but these work best.

This is what I have on my dewalt and is being a right pain at the moment.... like I say only seals on an oring and it blows them out now and again.... thinking of taking mine off and throwing in the scrap!

Same as Mick really, they ALL leak eventually.

G-Coupler is good if you have room.

 

Plenty of big blue rolls and boxes of disposable latex gloves ease the pain a bit.

Most of my machines have their own grease gun which goes out with the machine, just buy whatever cheap one the local ag place has in stock at the time. Got a Milwaukee battery one when doing machines in the yard, but as with all things they have a time and place

Thanks chaps.

 

Hadn't thought of putting a flexi hose and new coupler on mine, will see if I can figure out the thread etc. If not I'll look at the other suggestions.

 

Cheers.

I fitted one of those grippy ends on mine, have to say it was a game changer as far as I was concerned. 

For hard to get at nipples taking them out and replacing with an angled one often helps.

 

For my next trick I am going to try the Fuchs screw on cartridges as mentioned above, work out a bit dearer but if it saves all the mess when changing them it might well be worth it.

Good chance it's 1/8 BSP , other likely option seems to be M10 x 1. Diameter is similar but pitch different - 1mm for the metric but finer on the BSP.

Stop being a tight ass and buy a electric makita

Thanks Dan. It's ancient, and the diameter seemed to be a shade under 10mm, so I've ordered one in 1/8 BSP.

G-Coupler.

I'm a big convert of the g coupler too. With a flexible hose it will get to most nipples that a normal one will. Got one from the local agri dealer, maybe a bit sad but it's been life-changing ha! Worth having a couple of grease guns, I use one for general lithium grease and another for molybdenum pin and bush grease. 

 

If anyone else uses your machines they will be far more likely to grease it with a g coupler. Don't know who first said it but "the only thing that won't wear out on a hire machine is the grease gun".
