Recommend me a grease gun

Can anyone recommend a decent grease gun for greasing my props/uj's?

Machine Mart sell a few different types, any of them better than others? And (should never start a sentance with 'and') should I only be using Lithium grease on the props/uj's?

Cheers

make sure it has a small nipple.

Oo err missus !!

Std side lever pump from machine mart red and about twelve quid, buy a flex hose and a new nipple as the one with the gun usually isnt much cop
Throw the rigid pipe supplied in the bin
I use one of these as work to grease trucks day in and day out been okay for approx 2 years now i even bought another as i swore it was about to die but it just keeps going
Also buy the grease cartridges as filling them up by hand is a truly **** job
Any decent grease will do
Just grease them often and they will last forever

I'd stick with a simple lever arm gun, proven design, dead easy to use and all the major manufacturers make a variation of the same design .

Any GP lithium grease for your prop U/J's.

And starting a sentence with "And" was good enough for Dickens, so it should be good enough for the contributors to a Land Rover forum on the old 'tinterweb

So would this one be ok?

Clarke CGG400 3-Way Lever Grease Gun - Machine Mart gun

and they also sell this grease cartridge..

400g Multi Purpose Black Grease (Cartridge) - Machine Mart

That's the one I have together with the flexi hose. Not had any problems with it yet.

perfect but keep pipe it has with it as well as get flexi as its easier to use sometimes

Cheers guys
