How to refill a grease gun
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
The method I show here on how to refill a grease gun works for many types of guns. I currently use four different types, from pneumatic to large hand lever types and it works for all of them.
The grease gun that I show in the video is the Advanced Tool Design model ATD-5002 pistol grip grease gun. Bought from Amazon about 2 years ago and it is still working great.

What you will need...
A pair of disposable gloves (or ones that you don't mind getting grease on)
A new tube of grease. The type depends on what you are greasing.

I love videos that are straight to the point. No changing diapers, stories about grandpa, feeding birds, just exactly what we need, thanks.
Thanks for making a simple process in a short video, too many people want to make 11 minute videos of this.
Your video is the ONLY video that shows how to refill a grease gun short and sweet without any BS. Thanks for getting right to the point. Big thumbs up!

This is an exemplary video. I'd like to see one more step added; probably 70 percent of the refills I have done in the past fifty years, and with every grease gun I have used, it has been necessary to bleed off the air trapped in the gun. And I've never found a convenient and reliable method of doing so.

Don’t screw in the barrel all the way. Release the handle and turn it so it grabs the plunger inside the barrel. Then push on the handle and grease should start squeezing through the threads. There should be no air left. Then tighten the barrel down and release the plunger so the handle can be pushed inside.
The best video on any subject I have ever seen! No long discussion of what you had for breakfast, the weather, wannabe comedian stuff, etc. Instructive, to the point, and substantive. I'm subscribing to your channel!
My 72 year old Father enjoyed watching your video as a refresher. It has been a while since He replaced a grease cartridge. He mentioned that His grease gun is same model as yours. Now He can grease His repaired John Deere 24T baler and put it to bed 'till next Summer.

Simple, clear, well explained and to the point. Great video!
Thank you, no bullshit, just a simple and clear explanation of how to refill a grease gun
Thanks for posting this I forgot how to load them up and spent 20 mins speaking french trying to load them the wrong way.
And this is why i appreciate KZread thanks!
Hey thanks - this was really helpful. Got my first grease gun the other day and thought I was doing it wrong- I didn't understand why the plunger rod went all the way back in after I loaded the new tube. Cheers and thanks!
I HAVE HAD SO MUCH TROUBLE LOADING GREASE GUNS. FANTASTIC VIDEO. THANKS.
Thanks FoxKnowHow! Same as Pay Way, I forgot how to do it and finally decided to just check the right way on KZread.
Well done, easy-to-follow instructions. I'm 78 years old and never could reload a grease gun without cussing. Until now. Thanks.
Precisely, concisely perfeck! Now I won't make a huge mess & possibly lose an eye! Thank you!
Very informative and to the point, thanks I needed this for work!
Thank you exactly what I needed to know in a very quick amount of time.
I'm covered in grease! But I learned how👍
Thanks! All these years using grease guns I always forget which end goes first 😂😂😂
Very handy video for newbies Short and too the point Thank you
Good video but I would like to offer the following. Grease guns I have used in the past used the pull out lever to actually compress the grease, so that a positive pressure was applied to the small piston that supplies the grease. For some reason most of these grease guns allow the piston on the rear spring pullback to slide right thru the grease and do very little. A trick i have applied is to add more grease to the cartridge, this is a small fix, but a better fix would be to find a rubber washer the same size as the hole in the cartridge, and then allow the spring loaded disc at the bottom of the gun to do a better job.
I made a hellz of a mess over the holidays while replacing the upper control arms on my dad's car. I went to replace the grease tube and that crap went EVERY WHERE! lol..just a case of assuming I knew what I was doing. don't be this guy, watch a video! thanks for sharing the awesome vid!
Thank you so much!!! I had so much trouble trying to do this....i love your video. Short and step by step. I think I can do this now;)
Thank you for sharing. I'm new to this king of work
Great video brother. Thanks for the lesson, it helped me get it loaded quickly. 💪🏼
Perfect for the same style grease gun thank you!
Informative video...thank you!
And there can be only one! You straight up sound like The Highlander lol. Thanks for the help. Thumbs up.
THanks. I wasnt sure which end went in first. makes sense when you see it:)
One of the best video👏🏼❤️
Haha saved me from looking like a donkey cheers mate!
thank you man,i love you,you help my life
Great video simple instructions 👍🏻
Thanks for the video. First time refilling, I couldn't figure out how to remove the old tube because the aluminum lip fell inside, had to pry it out!
THanks, this was helpful.
Very helpful and to the point. Thx
Spot on! Thanks.
Thank you! Great video.
Good video- you get to the point- thank you
I’m an idiot, thanks for making that clear… lol. I’m pretty handy, guess what tried helping dad fill a grease gun and was ready to throw away. Did everything wrong…. Then watched your how to video. Thanks!
Thanks Great informative video.
thanks I needed that
I need to install and grease end links on my car. Also like to grease my 3 ton micheline floor jack. Would these use the same type of grease, which grease would you recommend?Also as far as buying a grease gun, would you recommend the Lever vs Pistol Grip vs Mini type gun?
Thanks man!!
Excellent.
You can remove the old tube easier by leting the rod in, most times you can shoot it into the trash but at least it comes out enough to grab the outside of cartridge. Good video
Parabéns pelo vídeo. Aqui usando um cartucho de graxa. Simples e objetivo.
Thank you
Thanks mate
Thank you bro
Great Video. Straight to the point! Very considerate not to waste the viewer's time with useless BS. Everyone attempting to make an instructional video should watch this first!
Wish all instructional videos were like this.
Gracias Mr.
This is my go to video saved in my notes for doing this but question: anyone else have to put tip against something in order to get the new tube of grease to get the grease to start pumping out? That’s what it takes for mine if I don’t I just keep pressing the handle forever even after I’ve pressed the air button
I asked my boss how to load one of these and he told me to just look it up on KZread so here I am
thank you
Exactly what I wanted Short video to the point
Thank you :)
Thanks!
Thanks
Looks like i did it completely wrong, Thanks for this.
No thank you sir for a great video!
I wonder if this works, on those cheap Harbor Freight units.. those are junk.. lol And, I had little luck with the inexpensive units from Tractor Supply Store... Is there anyway to test the lever/grip mechanism.. to ensure that it is working properly? Thanx for Posting/sharing
Gracias
I don't use them enough and always forget how easy it is to fill them.
thanks appreciate it.
Thanks for sharing! I messed up my last refill in the dumbest way 😂
So it comes in a TUBE??? So much less mess than the way i was taught... Thank you!
Thank you. I did not even know that the cartridge had to go inside the grease gun. No wonder I had a probem loading it.
Hey, Man! I’ve been fixing shit for years and haven’t changed out the grease gun, literally since I can remember, and I just needed a quick tip. Don’t worry about these knuckleheads giving a thumbs down. This was spot on AND quick! Thanks!

KZread doesn't let you give thumbs down in case you haven't noticed it has become woke lol
After watching your video I think I got this!
Pro in mind pro in action
You're not filling a grease gun, you're putting in a new cartridge.
(1) My gun has a spring button valve on pump to let out air. (2) I will have to give up now looking for a fail that shoots a blob of grease out of the end.
Should the plunger be pushed in the whole way for the last step? You left it out about 2".
Can i load it with a .45 acp rounds
Thanks,Steven Wright. You're a pretty alright dude
Great quick tutorial, only thing is why pump out/lose the old grease?

Depends what you're using the grease for - it may not be compatible with your intended use...
I be doing that for yrs, but.have a hell of time. Getting it primed again. Pissing me off everytime i replace the grease cartridge.
Jesus Christ I am an idiot for knowing how to refill these working on cars as much as I do... Great vid really helpful!
Is it available in India
Nice video, but you sure made a mess there at the end, reminds me of me"
Are those BlueJays making all that racket? I miss them so.
Thanks, it needs to be repeated: no frills, no silly intro, no loud music, a steady cam, spoke up to be understood, no unshaved buck. Just two working arms and a grease gun!
thank you sir. i threw away 3 pairs of gloves tryinf to figure this out
Time to buy new gloves!
This is ASMR
re-taught an old dog an old trick /v gd thx u m8
Thanks dad
拎開鎗頭兩下,拉弓,LOCK住 拎開鎗頭,拿走舊支油 拿新油,開蓋,再放入 入哂支油,打開油蓋掩 放回鎗頭,拎盡,再拎開兩下 回弓,再拎實 試打,正常出油就得
My canister wouldn't fit plunger in grease canister. Plunger won't fit in canister
why should we buy the new catridge again and again? Why cant we refill the grease ourselves in the catridge ?
I've been using mines wrong for years lol.
My boss must have a shit grease gun. Every time I pull the plunger back a ton of grease shoots out the bottom of the gun. Then I get blamed for making a mess lol

+MegaChevy65 Good question. I think they get moisture inside. I have mine hanging on the wall and they leak all over the floor beneath them. Not much that you can do. Maybe I should store them in a bucket.

+MegaChevy65 There is a neat solution to that on page 37, April 2016 issue of The Family Handyman magazine. It’s in “handy hints” submitted by Steve Goodrich. I keep my grease gun in a heavy plastic bag until I can get mine made.
