Grease guns apply lubricant to bearings and mechanical parts. Lever, pistol and pneumatic versions suit different volumes and pressures. Pumps and flexible hoses allow access to tight grease fittings.
What are grease guns and pumps used for?
Grease guns and pumps are used to apply lubricating grease to mechanical components, such as bearings, gears, joints, and fittings. They are essential in automotive, industrial, agricultural, and mechanical maintenance to reduce friction, prevent wear, and extend the life of equipment.
What types of grease guns and pumps are available?
There are several common types to suit various needs:
Manual grease guns (lever or pistol grip) – for controlled, low-volume applications
Pneumatic (air-powered) grease guns – for faster, continuous lubrication in workshop settings
Battery-powered grease guns – ideal for mobile or high-volume maintenance tasks
Drum and bucket pumps – used for transferring large volumes of grease or oil from bulk containers
Most grease guns support standard grease cartridges or bulk grease filling and use standard couplers to connect to zerk fittings.
How do I maintain and use grease guns and pumps correctly?
Always bleed air from the system before use to ensure consistent pressure
Clean the coupler and fitting before attaching to avoid contamination
Store upright and in a clean, dry environment to prevent grease separation or leakage
Inspect seals, hoses, and couplers regularly and replace worn parts to prevent failure
Proper maintenance ensures smooth operation, accurate grease delivery, and a longer lifespan for both tool and machinery.
