TOOL TUESDAY: ELECTRIC GREASE GUN WORTH THE MONEY TO YOU? LET'S COMPARE!
What happens here
Josh provides an overview of the manual lubrication tools he uses on his farm. This includes a pump oiler, a side-pump style manual grease gun with a flexible hose, and a lever-action manual grease gun that is fitted with an elbow adapter for reaching difficult grease fittings. He explains that different applications require different tools; for instance, the elbow adapter is necessary for lubricating the articulated center of a Ventrac tractor, which would be inaccessible with a straight-tipped gun.
Goal: Familiarize with different manual grease guns and their specialized uses for various access points on equipment.
