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.
Amazons product page: amzn.to/2yIywoS
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.

    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.

    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.

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
