How do you store your grease gun? Does it always leak?
A while ago I upgraded my grease gun to a nice big one thinking it would help with my cheapo that kept leaking. As you can see, it has not solved my issue.
So I need to ask to other folks... is this just the way it is with grease guns? You can't have it loaded and sit and not leak? I'm just a DIYer so my grease gun isn't always used. I can't load them up until I need to use it? |

I’d love to know if there are any suspension components that can be greased instead of replaced or any any other parts of the car you use your grease gun on? I own one for the boat

Bottom drawer of a rolling tool chest. It always leaks.

Mine is under my work bench. I don`t think I`ve used mine on any car in the last 10 years.

My grease gun hangs in the corner of the shed on a nail in a very greasy stud. That stud will never rot in a thousand years because of all the grease that has soaked into it over the years from said grease gun. Do Not, however, smoke or otherwise create a spark near it because it'll go up like a New Years firework and likely take the rest of the shed with it.

On older cars, yes. I use mine on trailer wheel bearings and pillow bearings where my dock meets the gangplank. No use on any of my cars.
