This is probably going to sound very amateur, but...

Quick question about grease guns...

I've been getting away with using tubes of grease up to now so I've never owned a grease gun.

Having fitted Maz's (super easy to fit) output bearing 'lube plug' I'll buy myself a grease gun. I assume most will come with some kind of grease nipple connector that 'snaps on' the nipple or do you usually have to buy a connector of some sort?

Or, on the cheap, just get hold of a length of plastic tubing and a syringe,
I've used just that for years for everything from grease nipples to bleeding brakes or clutches, works fine and costs pennies lOl
