Grease Gun Storing

Not sure where I saw this idea, maybe Handy Man Magazine. Take a piece of 3" PVC pipe, cut a slot in one side, glue a reducer 3" to 1 1/2", get a piece of 1 1/2" PVC with a cap. Fasten it to the wall with the 1 1/2" facing down, it needs to be a long as the hose on your grease gun. Put the grease gun inside the 3" PVC hose down with the gun handle in the slot. What leaks will be caught in the 1 1/2 PVC cap. Getting ready to make a couple for myself. If I am not plain enough and if anyone is interested maybe I can figure out how to scan the PIC and send it to you via E. Mail.
 
I'll try and send it to you tomorrow Robert, I haven't had a lot of luck with this printer scanning and sending but I will certainly try.
 
Got my education with grease guns when i worked in a service station as a kid when I had to grease a Hudson with 22 fittings by hand. Store mine on a hook with a lunch baggie and rubber band

I wonder what car had the most grease fittings? :confused:
I remember counting 26 on my 1950 Studebaker Commander, and I think I got them all. :)
 
Ive learned dont go cheap on the gun, a good lincoln brand will be $50-60 but worth it. those $15-30 auto parts store things dont work that well. With the mystic JT6 grease tubes mine hasnt leaked a drop, just wipe the fitting end and hang it on the wall.

It seems from most of the replys a grease gun is supposed to leak just like their A's are.:rolleyes::):)
