Foot-Operated Grease Gun

Foot-Operated Grease Gun FARM SHOP Miscellaneous 27-4-38 If something is easy to grease, it's more likely to get greased. That's what led to the development of this new hands-free, foot-operated grease gun that leaves your hands free to stretch and reach difficult grease points. The "G. Gun" is a metal canister that's equipped with a 10-ft. high pressure hose. It holds up to 18 lbs. of grease. The bottom of the unit is equipped with a self-priming pump. A clip-on lid keeps out rain and dust. To grease the zerk you simply step down on a pedal on one side of the canister. The unit can be pumped by hand when used under low machinery. The company that sells the unit, Horn Trading Inc., supplies grease in handy 5-lb. squeeze pouches for clean and easy filling. "It holds a lot more grease than hand-held guns and also applies much more pressure," says Linda Sara. "The unit has an operating pressure up to 9,000 psi, so it does a good job of dislodging any dirt and grit that may be in the zerk. Unlike air-powered or electric grease guns it has no batteries to recharge or compressor to hook up to." Sells for $264 including S&H.
