Same Bloke... a forced air Welding Helmet with Air pump and Filter.

Being something of personal use, is it cleanable/washable? Not talking about filter replacement.

I am using a pneumatic one. Very handy to just pull the trigger instead of pumping a lever single-handed while under the truck. And you can replace the grease fitting on the end of the hose (I haven't yet) with one that clamps to the grease nipple thing so you don't even need to hold the hose end.

Do you have to hold those flexi hose ends on??? I thought they'd all just clip on???

The one that came with the pneumatic gun doesn't clip on.

Highly rate these little hydraulic scissor platforms if needing a second set of arms working alone



Managed last week to tweak two different brands of custom bar work together prior to shipping off locally for sandblasting/colour matching

With the many grease nipples on the OKA the idea of laying under the truck struggling to hold the thing onto a nipple whilst struggling to operate a conventional grease gun one handed, holding the whole affair against my body & inevitably getting in a mess held little appeal. To say nothing of the almost inevitable struggle to get the coupler off the nipple when finished.

So I bit the bullet & bought a battery operated grease gun off ebay. It came in the mail during the week & today I bought a quick coupler & tried it for the first time. Greasing under the truck is unlikely to ever be something which brings me joy, but after trying it out this arvo the new grease gun sure put a smile on my face.

Just place the gun on the ground. Clip the coupler on the nipple.
Move around to observe the grease exiting & then pull the trigger.
Press lever on the coupler & remove it with ease & no mess.
As good as i hoped it would be! So easy!

I had wondered about the weight of the gun, it is heavier than a conventional lever grease gun, but having a hose long enough to reach there is no need to hold it whilst in use. Makes so much difference for an old fart like me!

Bugger, this just sounds too good to resist.

Ha funny you post this cuppa. I was talking to the purchasing manager at work about getting a new grease gun and he pulled up that same one.

Best modern heavy yard tools ever @Cuppa Mate
18V variants like beast have serious psi pressure, we use our ‘red colured’ ones to pressure up stuck nipples. Pull the trigger until stop/heard, walk away and then ‘pop’ we’re clean again

I considered a red one, ‘cos they weigh a bit less than blue, but at the end of the day all my batteries & charger are blue. Didn’t seem worth the bother getting an adaptor plate. I bought some tubes of grease at the same time. The Bigfoot EP2 orange stuff from Moreys. Got it because that’s what an OKA mate uses, & ‘cos when we were caretaking at Moreton Telegraph Station that's what the owner swore by for all their equipment. Eye wateringly expensive at
$192 for a 6 pack though!

Red, Blue, Yellow, whatever colour, good cordless grease guns rock Cuppa Mate

Picked up a 12v compact cut off tool skin today to attack the drivers side guard this time:



So much lighter, nimble and easier for my hack accuracy than my 18v grinder utilised on the passenger side a few weeks ago:
