London to a brick & on it was an accountant with an MBA because it saves a lot of money
And on tat subject , ever found a gun that will actually seal onto the plastic blob ?
I have always removed then and greased with a digit .

I have 3 grease guns. I found a coupler that seals on them so it is one one of the guns just for these POS's

Most times here the nipples are broken off, damaged, welded shut. I keep a set [inner and outer] of ten in stock.

StarTech was spot on - my problem was faulty zerks. Two out of three in brand new spindles!

Bought 4 new zerks today (thought I would keep a couple in reserve) and two out of four failed.

The moral of the story is: don't be a jerk, never trust a zerk.

Thanks for the very informative comments...

Cheers, Peter

There is a reason why I buy my greasing equiptment from McNaught retail when I could get it cheaper from any of my normal wholesalers.
And that is because 10 out of 10 will be perfect.
Bought from any one else and a 50% failure rate is not uncommon.
While all of the wholesalers stand by their products & will replace them without hesitation, that is cold comfort when I have an angry customer on the phone or a job I can not send back while I wait for nipples to arrive
