They lay it flat on the store shelves then you have to stand the gun on end for several days so the grease will actually pump

Then there is the grease guns every time you fill them you can't get the air out without letting them sit a while
 
We have cheap gease here too. Freeloading varmints squat around the local watering holes all summer leaving their deposits and then during harvest they panhandle the farm fields for freebies. The only upstanding gease are the ones Bruce sends down to visit Larry.
 
Go to bulk grease and solve the problem. No filling with putty knives or none sense. Just pump it in and go. We use both bulk and I take a tube gun too. Takes more than one sometimes and 10 miles back doesn't work for me.
 
It is the way the grease is stored that causes the problem not the grease. I bought the cheapest tube i could find to put in my lever grease to free up stubborn zerks

Ever grease gun I've ever owned had a bleeder plug on it.
 
When I put a new grease cartridge in I don't tighten the canister tube all the way at first. I pump it until grease starts coming out and then tighten. That should get the air out of it.
 
I've never had to spend more than a couple of minutes to get a grease gun pumping. You just pull that handle out on the bottom and twist it to lock it into the piston that pushes the grease to the gun head. Put the handle against something solid, like a tractor tire, or the ground, and push gently while pumping the gun.

That's all I've ever done too. Never had any problems.

That's the way I do it too, works everytime.
 
I must be missing something here. Do some grease guns not have a plunger to push the grease through? I can't even imagine a reason for having to store the cartridges a certain way, what is it I'm missing?
 
And that works for teo pumps and it won’t pump again . Just
stand the tubes up when you store them and you don’t have
to screw around with it.
 
I have thought about that but thats all we had growing up and i wear more grease then ever got in anything
 
If they are filled with a pump from another container they don't get air to deal with. I have been using both bulk and tube grease for decades with little air problems. Though I buy the tubes buy the case, and they are already on end and. I keep them that way. The bulk grease we use from a 15 gallon can with a pump been doing that for 45-50 years and never have air problems. You can not use cheap poor guns for bulk grease or you will have more behind the plunger than in front of it. We have had good experience with Lincoln guns for bulk grease. You have to flip the lip on the plunger so it faces the head to expand against the sides. For tube grease it has to be behind the plunger. That is why we use more than one gun.
 
I may have to look into it I guess i like tubes when they are stored right they are simple and fast and clean

hen I saw the thread title I couldn't wait to open it up and see where you're from when you call "customers" "gease". As far as grease guns go, I once had a gun that didn't want to work when I put in a new cartridge. Once. Threw it away and bought a new one. I have three in the barn right now that I've had a long time and have never had to do anything other than push the plunger rod all the way in and pumping a few times.
 
I usually never have any problems but this tube has sat on its
side so long the grease is all in one side so the tube i don’t
know if it’ll ever go
