    Me: *points*
    Customer: Nobody told us when we bought it
    Me: If something has grease nipples its usually self explainatory.....
    Customer: Oh.....

    Tank, I rarely use a clip-on coupler, instead I have a couple of different grease needles, it limits the mess because the grease goes directly into the nipple, if I need to exert undue force to get the grease in, it encourages me to investigate before things get messy, and I can get a grease needle in where traditional couplers dont fit.....

    In other news.... I was a little shocked on sunday night working on some old machinery to find some button type grease nipples that were stamped with the makers name.... guessing they come from a time when a manufacturer wasnt ashamed to advertise who made the product....
    Does a grease needle like a Mcnaught COUPLER NEEDLE POINT PUSH-ON KZD, https://www.blackwoods.com.au/search...995/4294444429 , inject grease into the ball checked hole in the top of the nipple?

    Yes.

    I use the long needle McNaught adapter to get to the centreing bearing on my DC front driveshaft, and pretty much use it on all the other nipples too.
    A couple I have to use the standard fitting as the coupler just adds too much length.

    Only nipples I know of are on the prop shafts. Fronts are hard to get at unless you drop one end to open the knuckle or put long series nipples on.
