I haven’t used mine in years. I used to lube the cars, my knees won’t let me do any of that anymore. Occasionally I need a dab of grease for some of my tools or squeaky car door. My son borrowed it a couple of times to work on his motorcycles. Oil cans used to be common too.
Just coming in from this thread, I had it in my head that you were talking about these
Geez, grease gun, wow, haven’t seen one of those since my army days, some decades ago.
I used to have one of my own, no idea where it went. Probably lost it in a move between duty stations.
I use it mainly on a swiveling rear tire on the brush hog attached to the back of my little Kubota front-end loader. I probably should search my maintenance manuals for more zerks I should be attending to, but machine maintenance isn’t my strong point, important as it is.
My dad has borrowed his neighbor’s grease gun this summer to grease up the swings on the grandkids’ playset. Of course, one of the girls ended up with a glob of grease in her hair so I am not sure the grease gun will make another appearance haha
There are disposable tubes of grease designed to be used in grease guns. I’ve never seen one made for use in a caulking gun – are you sure they exist? If there were such a thing it wouldn’t work for automotive applications, which use zerk fittings on the vehicle components.
If your trailers do not have bearing buddies and you have a grease gun to use on it, gah !!!
Don’t own a boat that is on a trailer?

I do not understand the pride in living so as that you won’t do any of your own maintenance or none of the activities that would make one a reasonable thing to have…
