## Description

Mini grease gun with needle nozzle. Grease gun.

Review: Better than a plastic tube, at about the same price if you need more than one tube of grease - First I bought a tube of bike lube (Finish Line) with ptfe (e.g. teflon). It works, is easy to squeeze, and a bit messy. But a 16 oz jar of grease and this grease gun is a much better deal and a more lasting solution. I'll still take the 2 oz tube of bike lube when I travel with a disassembled bike. (Whatever happened to 35mm film canisters?!) My grease gun arrived with a perfectly fine pinpoint hole in the nozzle, ready to go. True, the instructions are on the side of the grease gun. 1) I unscrewed the top. 2) I used a piece of plastic coated cardboard from my trash can as a paddle (cut to just fit inside the tube,) and started paddling in my grease. (True, the picture shows a finger.) 3a) Once I had crammed in as much grease as I could easily fit, I put the lid on firmly, shoved the disk inside the bottom toward the top with a screwdriver, and then took the lid back off. (True, this was an extra step not pictured on the can.) 3b) Now I took the cartridge and sharply hit the bottom of it downward onto my other hand. What do you know, the grease slid in, allowing me to again fill the cartridge. (True, the pictures don't show filling the cartridge more after the tapping.) Filling it twice was good enough. 4) I screwed the top on tightly (by hand firmly) so the grease wouldn't leak through the threads, pressed up again through the hole in the bottom with the screwdriver, more firmly this time. (True, the instructions show the cap on, while the previous picture shows it off.) 5) I began to pump the spring-loaded plunger (with the tip pointed toward my open can of grease.) A satisfying, but highly controlled thread of grease emerged from the pinpoint tip. (True, there is no fifth picture on the can.) I'm actually using Finish Line Ceramic Grease, which has both ceramic and fluoropolymer (ptfe, teflon, etc) additives. A 16 oz tub ends up cheaper than multiple tubes of grease, even including this grease gun. But still, a ziploc baggy with a hole cut in the corner, and automotive grease would be cheaper, so this is more or less a little luxury for a guy who buys his fancy bikes off Craigslist.... To each his own!
Review: Works well. Made better with a gasket. - So far, I'm really happy with this product. The price is competitive and it does everything that you'd expect from a small hand grease gun, which isn't a surprise given how long this design has been in production (the earliest versions date back to the 1930s and Dualco has owned the patent since the 1950s). My only gripe with the thing is the body doesn't seem to seal well against the head/pump mechanism on its own. I think this is a design feature, there's a cast slot cutting across the threads on the bump, but I can't identify the justification for its inclusion in the mold/final product. When you prime the device, you use something inserted into the bottom to force the grease into the pumping mechanism. On mine, which doesn't seem flawed from the factory, there is a little grease that escapes where the body/grease reservoir threads into the head/pump mechanism. Let me emphasize that, once fully primed and running, the tool works flawlessly. But, I still felt the need to cut a small piece of .060", oil resistant silicone gasket material to insure a positive seal. With the seal in place, the two components seam to seat together more firmly and there is no loss of function, so I'm not sure why it was omitted from the product. This is a very useful tool for bicycle and tool service/repair, and I would happily buy it again, but I think it feels better with a gasket of some kind between the body and pump. Also, Astro Tool should really have them cast their emblem or put a logo sticker on the side because there is nothing that really differentiates this from generic copies.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Will this take 3 oz cartridges?**
A: I don't think so. This Grease Gun is made to be individually loaded from the top (it unscrews), and there are NO springs inside the big tube to force the grease up and out. This is a very old, and very good design dating back (at least) to the 1920's and the plunger works by creating a vacuum of pulling the grease up from the tube, while pushing it into the zerc fitting. I got it use on a few old 1920 era motorcycles and found it would work on more modern design zerc fittings. To fill it, you need to unscrew the top, force the metal follower down to the bottom of the tube, and fill the grease from a tub. I only use Moly based grease and need a tongue depressor to fill the tube. There are a few explanation videos on u-tube. Bottom line - it works, it is much cheaper to operate than a 'modern cartridge type' and it will work on any size zerc. For the money you can't go wrong.

**Q: Anyone know the correct fitting to allow standard grease gun fitting to be adapted to this mini grease gun?**
A: You can, this and the other grease guns like this are all copies of the original lincoln lubrigun from the 1920-1950's. I own an original one from the 1950's and it came with a zerk adapter in addition to the needle. These came in tool kits packaged with most new tractors back in the day.

**Q: Will it work on a chainsaw?**
A: Yes it will!
.
I bought for my chainsaw and it worked so well I ordered a second. Both work great and I keep one in each case. I did have to file the tip back about .025 so the tips taper sealed the bar hole completely...........takes about 30 seconds to do with a fine metal file...

**Q: does it come with grease?**
A: No, u can use any kind of grease, I use mine 4 my air tools, wen I use to work on airplanes, I used that type of grease for the air tools, but I also have another Astro 101 for automotive grease, for those small amounts u need.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Mini grease gun
*by M***Q on December 20, 2025*

Great mini grease gun. Works great. Just what I needed. The instructions are right on the gun. After you add the grease make sure to place something in the bottom of the gun into the hole to push the pressure plate up to put pressure on the grease and push out air inside the gun. Very easy and simple. I used a letter opener or chop stick. Then it will dispense grease when pushing the button.
