Default Grease gun

I posted this on the grease board but I don't think many people visit that.

Can someone recommend a good grease gun to grease the neck bearings on the rocker?

And is this the red n tacky a lot of guys are referring to as a good choice for the neck?

Thanks boys.

There's actually a "grease" forum?




God.....I bet that's a fun place.

Best grease gun = "borrowed"

Grew up on the farm where we greased the sh@t out of everything that turned. Since venturing out on my own in the early 80's, I think I've still got the initial tube in my grease gun and...it's always a leaking mess. Unless you plan to grease your entire community's vehicles, find someone who already owns one.

Lol. Yeah, I'd only be using it to grease the neck. My next door neighbor has one. I think I'll just borrow his.

Thanks for the input everyone.

As far as the type of grease. Is that red n tacky I posted the correct one?

While I was searching it seemed like they had various types.

I got this one from Lucas, that comes with Lucas grease, including the red n' tacky. Can't remember where I got it - maybe Home Depot or an auto parts store. $20-25.
