TOOL TUESDAY: ELECTRIC GREASE GUN WORTH THE MONEY TO YOU? LET'S COMPARE!
What happens here
The presenter details the process of loading a grease cartridge into the DeWalt powered grease gun. First, twist and remove the front cylinder of the grease gun. Then, pull back the spring-loaded plunger rod until it locks into place. Take a new grease cartridge and ensure the cap end (the pull-tab side) is facing downwards when inserting it into the cylinder. This helps the grease settle and prevents air pockets. Reattach the cylinder by twisting it back onto the gun. Finally, release the plunger rod by giving it a slight twist and push it down, which seats the cartridge. If there's an airlock, a small twist valve can be opened to 'burp' the air out.
Goal: Correctly load a grease cartridge into the DeWalt powered grease gun.
