A handy tool I picked up awhile back: Astro 101 mini grease gun

[gb6491]

How do you think the Flex Seal is for other applications????????????????

The only other use I've made of it so far was to coat some electrical tape that I put over splice. Don't know if it's water tight, but the tape hasn't lifted.


On another note, that little grease gun works so well for me that I might be putting on more lube than needed. I shot my CW45 yesterday and can see where some lube is showing on the muzzle end afterwards. Then again, the CW45 ran perfectly...but then again, it always does

My grease gun came in today. Better quality than I expected for the price. Has some definite weight to it. Very nice.

A little update here:
I've been well served with this little grease gun so far. I ran into a job the other day that to do properly (or at all) would need the longer tip, so I went ahead and got one.
For the moment at least, it has allowed me to put off replacing a $200+ fan. Hopefully, it will be like the time...many moons ago, when I had some wheel bearings in a Dodge Colt start squeaking while traveling through Gallup NM. No replacement bearings could be found that would arrive in a timely manner, so I had a shop just repack the bearings. Later, when I reached a less remote part of the country, I was able to buy the correct bearings over the counter. As I was still traveling and the repacked bearings were doing fine, I tossed the new bearings into the Colt's trunk with the intent to replace the bearings when I returned to MCAS El Toro, CA. Those bearings were still in the trunk when I gave that car to my brother years later.
Anyway, here's a shot of the grease gun with the extended tip:
