grease gun recommendations (zerks)

[nc211]

Anyone have a good recommendation for a grease gun that can make easy work of hitting the zerks on the driveshaft? I have one, but the hose is too short "12 inches", and the zerk clip is a mega pain in the butt to use! There has got to be an easier way..... Ideal would be one with about 24 inches of hose, and a zerk clip that would allow you to simply press it on with a finger, instead of trying to jam, what appears to be a 10mm sized socket" over the top of these zerks. Mine has such a hard time clicking into place, and then when I start greasing, a lot of it just oooozes out around the zerk clip of the gun.

save money, keep the gun, go to your local automotive shop like Pepboys or Kragen and get a 10 to 14" zerks fitted extension hose. it screws onto your existing hose, if flexible and pretty easy to clip on and off of the zerks nipples.

Sweet! Thanks Gesekee19. I'll pick one up this weekend! The rear zerks aren't so bad, but the front one for the slider is a bit of a pain, especially when you can't get the zerk clip to hold, and the gun's cable is too short not to dangle around in the air... I appreciate the recommendation!
