Star brite Pistol Grease Gun with Marine-Grade Cartridge - 3 oz

Why you'll want it

• Grease with one hand. The gun is built for single-handed use. You can aim the grease with care, even where space is tight.
• Reach bearings, winches and hinges. Use it on trailer wheel bearings, winches, hatch hinges and pumps. These are the jobs the product description names.
• Refills are simple to add. When the cartridge runs out, load a new Star brite 3 oz cartridge. The description names the 2-pack refill.
• Grease before winter storage. Grease trailer bearings and winches this fall, before winter storage, so they are ready for spring.

What it is

The Star brite Pistol Grease Gun is a one-handed grease gun from the maker Star brite. It comes with a 3 oz marine-grade cartridge already included. The cartridge holds NLGI #2 grease, the grade the product description names.

How to use it

1. Take the head cap off the end of the barrel and set it somewhere clean.
2. Look at the rubber plunger inside the barrel. If it sits crooked, draw the rod handle out to full length and let go of it several times until the plunger sits flat.
3. Draw the rod handle out and seat it in the retaining slot.
4. Peel the plastic cap off the new cartridge, then slide its open end into the barrel first.
5. Press the cartridge in until the pull-tab rim meets the barrel rim, then pull off the pull-tab seal.
6. Screw the head cap back on. Let go of the rod handle, press it gently to prime the gun, then work the lever several times until grease flows from the coupler.

What else the job needs
