How do you store your grease gun? Does it always leak?

TheMidnightNarwhal · Yesterday, 04:08 PM

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?

Mine always leaks too. Annoying.

Yep, same here. I have it on the bottom of my peg board so it leaks in the same spot, but it always leaks.

Have not met a grease gun that doesn't leak. They all do at one point.
