You listen to the bearing while adding grease……..therefor not much good for prop-shafts.

I generally use a smaller pistol grip gun with a flexible hose and ground down head so that I don't have to continually move the car backwards and forwards to have the nipples point directly down.

I also have a needle point which I use to refresh the grease in the ball joints , seeing my boots died about 7 years ago, and I made up new boots out of old tube.
Something like this one

Gets my vote as well..

I must have small hands as I found other brands uncomfortable to try and grip and squeeze.

I have also always added a 30" extension to mine. Found when greasing farm machinery (grain harvesters, hay balers etc) it was easier to be able to hold the gun
at chest height and use the extension to reach up to difficult grease nipples. Also good for trucks and trailers. Lay on your back on a floor creeper with gun on your chest and reach up and grease away as you push your way along under the truck etc...If I were doing more of it these days, I would invest in a cordless one.

Mcnaught also make a lot of handy accessorys as well...

Check refill cartridge size as well. 450gm size is readily available from most of the major oil companys, suppliers, servos etc...

Regardless of the gun, the best thing out is a clip on nozzle that goes on the nipples.

Used mine multiple times today just greasing the FEL (with 4 in 1) on the Deutz.

Quick, clean and absolutely no issues disconnecting from each nipple. One of the best things I've bought ($30 ish) that has totally transformed a tiresome chore.

And it works on RRC propshaft uni's.
