How come a grease gun is the first tool on the farm to were out? All the pins are always well greased. At least mine are with the mess I usually make changing cartridges.

Because you use the greese gun the other stuff dosen't wear out. Talk to the guys that don 't believe in grease. They are quick to point out how fast ALL of their equip wears out. :wink: Mike

I dunno. It might be because the newer ones are made of cheap materials. I have one I bought at a sale in 1976 and it still works fine today. It had to be an old dog when I bought it. A friend has one hanging on a pipe on his fence. It has lived there for at least 30 years and still works great. I asked him about it one day and he said - "With all that grease on it, what's it gonna do? Rust?"
Works for him.....

I bought several guns at farm sales and fixed them up to work again. Usually, nobody bids on them. I get them for cheap - usually 2-3 for $1. I have enough "spare parts" to make about 9 more of the things.....

I have pondered that as well. Only conclusions I come up with is??: Cheap grease guns (which is about all there is now-a days) are made of light and/or cheap steel, thus resulting in rapid wear. The leverage/pressure on the hinge must be pretty great.
