Notes

A tool for lubricating fittings on equipment, vehicles, and shop machines. Repair is typically economical because common failures are seals, hoses, and couplers rather than the body.

Replace when the barrel threads crack, the lever mechanism is bent, or repeated seal failures make it unreliable for maintaining proper lubrication routines.
