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

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

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!

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!
