A while back I looked at Park Tool GG-1 grease guns; they looked ideal, but they're a bit expensive at $32 plus shipping and tax which would make it around $40. Then I read some negative reports on it. One man said that after using half the grease in the can, he had to push the base up, and when he did, grease came out from all around the base, making a mess. I also read that it was hard to get the grease flowing.
I already had a mini grease gun that I used on my kayak trailer, so I looked for an adapter. I found one which simply plugged into the end of the nozzle. When I greased my wheel bearings it was extremely hard to pump the grease. I had noticed how tiny the hole was, and I was quite disappointed with it.
Today, I thought about running a 1/16th drill bit through it, but figured it would be a challenge. Removing the adapter and clamping it in my vise, I very carefully worked the drill bit in. I managed to drill it all out and now it works great.
