Is a grease gun a good investment for the amateur mechanic?
If your car need ungodly amounts of grease maybe.
I've been working on my own and family/friends cars for over a decade and never felt the need for a grease gun though.

Yes, grease guns are good for greasing stuff.
Don't listen to that idiot who's never greased anything in his life.
>>13942505
do these come with more anus friendly attachments? that looks awkward

Listen you greasy fuck, if you need to grease your greasy parts with grease all the time, then maybe you're not greasing your car correctly. You should only be greasing when it needs grease otherwise you're just gonna have greasy parts that lose their greasyness over time.

Do you just have the ability to say dumb shit or can you actually function in society?

Sounds more clever than you do.

I'm only worried because I bought a new part that has 2 zerk fittings. I didn't have a grease gun at the time so I just slathered the outsides of the poly bushings with grease. Now I'm wondering if a grease gun a good investment since I would be only using it for 2 spots and I don't see any other zerks on my car.

Honestly a grease gun and some grease would only run you about 40$ USD.. You don't have to get a fancy one.. Better to have one then not have one

>2 zerk fittings
Where are they located?
>>13942601
Not OP here.. But normally outer tie rods have zerk fittings.. Along with some other bushings
>>13942601
It's a panhard bar for a Mustang. There's a zerk on each bushing.
>>13942580
This. Why is this even a question?

You're an idiot.
>>13942505
A grease gun is about the only way you can lube grease fittings.
And it's not like they're that expensive.
So yes.
>>13942722
panhards aren't too lube sensitive. you're fine
>mfw my car has 17 grease fittings
>>13942749
They are points where bushing is touching metal.
>>13942948
Wow, just like ur mum.
Depends on the make, I find myself packing wheel bearings just as often as greasing zerk fittings so another good investment is a wheel bearing packer
They cost $20 bucks or so, and you have tie rods and balljoints that need lubed.
Yeah, there's probably lots of zerk points on your vehicle that need grease. Makes the greasable points on your vehicle last many times longer, plus you'll have the tool for life.

If you're a guido mechanic yes.
