So, I have misplaced my Grease Gun (well I know where it is but can’t get it for a while)
and I have seen many people use giant syringes as grease guns.
Where do you get them?
Had a quick online search of hardware stores and chemists but no luck on the massive syringe front…
thanks
Mike
How big do you really need it? The 10ml ones from the chemist do just fine for most bike jobs and they’re not hard to pack.
Ebay… i was looking for one recently for adding sealant to my cross tyres and the nice guy at the chemist on sydney road checked his catalogues and suggested for a single purchase i’d be better off trying there.
Yep, was thinking Vet but there were none close, checked out a few chemists they had 10ml for $4 which is pretty good. Then checked out the $2 shop, and got this:
Cheap, pretty much as big as a grease gun and I can pipe grease in pretty patterns.
I can send you some.
What size do you want?
60ml with a catheter tip like this?
thanks for the offer Aaron, most generous.
But I think I’m all good now and I’ll have my proper grease gun in a couple of weeks.
As a nurse manager I have heaps hanging around if other peeps need them.
Can you drop a few into Gear Brisbane Azz?
For a ghetto solution I jammed a silicone nozzle on the end of my Rock n Roll grease tube, with the help of some leftover rim tape. To add extra ghetto-ness I use a valve cap to seal it. Yuk yuk yuk.
I found this awesome small grease gun at the crazy cheap overfilled hardware store on Sydney Rd (just up from Alaysa) for $12
Dualco brand?
I have been using one of those for years now. Great little unit.
Sid Charalambous? Rocks.
Yes but I might post them to you as I am so busy lately I don’t know when I’ll get there.
Nah it’s actually an Ampro mini… this one:
Nah, that’s further up, but is quite an amazing hardware store! This one’s a tiny shop about 2 doors up from Alasya Turkish kebab/restaurant joint. Just north of Hope St.
Looks pretty much the same. Maybe I’ll get another and fill with a different grease.
Oh yeah, never been there, might have to check it out.
Update:
this worked very poorly, the seals don’t work and the grease just migrates above the plunger.
My real kinchrome one works much better
