How to Load a Grease Gun Cartridge Video 

www.amazon.com/shop/ctscaper

Every couple years I come back to this same Video. RU-vid can be a great resource!

First time grease gun owner here.I should have watched this first today BEFORE I loaded mine. It would have saved me 1/2 of the cartridge and about 40 sheets of shop towels. Great video. The 46 people who gave you thumbs down must be really fun to be around.....

10 years later still making people's day easier. Great vid

I never ever leave comments on anything but I felt as though it was needed for this video. For such an "easy" thing that can get messed up very quickly your video addressed every concern that one could have loading a grease gun. Your video was so candid, useful, and clear and concise. Thank you for taking the time to make this video.

Thank you I haven't loaded a grease gun for 30 yrs or more and after trying to force the cartridge in the wrong way I realized I needed a refresher. I followed your instructions and had the success I was looking for. No spills, no mess and no waste. Thank you very much.

I’ve been struggling with this issue for the last 30 years. I don’t do it often so spooning it in was my lame desperate attempt. My dad passed at a young age and he was great at this stuff and I had used his shop. RU-vid to the rescue…should have done this a decade ago! Great and thanks.

No mad music, no waffle, straight down to business.....wish more videos were like yours. Fabulous! Even if it was a grease gun! Thank you much appreciated!

That's a life lesson right there, ":There's a correlation between how big a rush you're in and how often things go wrong."

Exactly what I was looking for: an educational video with clear and concise instructions, covering everything needed. Well done! Thanks.

Been in the tree business for over 30 years and we greased our chipper every other day but the owner always had the gun full so it has been 20 years since I loaded one. I have an old,very well made gun and needed to grease my dad's car but forgot exactly how to do it...then I thought hey RU-vid! They have evrything. So thanks a million. I didn't even have to watch the whole video,I remembered after you showed to load the tube in the top. Huge help....now where did I put my truck keys?

Managed to load mine successfully few months ago after watching your video and now i am watching this again before reloading. Thank you for the time for making this video.

Man.....when I tried this while following your directions, everything event smooth. No grease everywhere, just perfect! Thanks!

Thank you for making such a great video ! I just purchased a grease gun to work on my snowblower and the salesman at the store had no idea how to load one. The instructions that came to the grease gun were horrible to follow. Your video answered all my questions and more and made it so easy. I took my time loading it as you recommended and it works just fine. :) Take care

Speaking from my experience, I wonder how this guy was able to load a grease gun without getting some on his clothes or hands?

This was able to show me what my coworkers couldn't. They kept,telling me to do a twisting motion but your technique had it going in seconds. Thanks

Thanks so much for taking the time to do this video! I don’t know why, but out of all the stuff I do, I always screw this process up. And you are right.... when you’re tired and in a hurry (which is me most of the time) things go wrong. Great video and thanks again!

Great video. clear, concise, yet not dry. Thank you. Nice array of socket wrenches.

Thanks so much for a clear and systematic description - but - I would never trust a person with such a neat and orderly workbench!

I am glad I watched your video. I bought a new grease gun as it was a piece of junk. I saw yours and found a Lincoln, bought it and it just arrived. I watched the video as I loaded it and it was so easy this time. I have tractors, trucks, zero turns etc.... on my farm and really needed this to work. Thanks for the easy to use video.

The first grease gun I loaded belonged to my grandfather. This was in the 1960's and if grease cartirages were available then, he didn't have any. He told me to plunge the barrel of the gun into his pail of grease as I drew back on the plunger so it would suck the grease into the barrel. I don't think I'll ever live long enough to develop the coordination to do that without getting grease everywhere. The cartridges are a vast improvement but I still manage to grease myself up pretty well. This video and some of the comments might help. Thanks!

Thanks . I never had loaded one before and what a mess of it before finally getting it cobbled back together again. this makes it look so easy and I realize now that I should have looked it up on youtube. great to learn.

Good video.. You're the first person that's ever suggested leaving it loose on top like that to allow air to pass.. Had that problem many times over the years thanks for taking time to break it down

Super helpful video for loading a grease gun and troubleshooting when things where not going as planned! Thank you so much!

Very useful video! Still good after all these years, helped me avoid a big mess while greasing my RV axles. Can't believe I had never done this before, think of the joy I was missing.

I recently bought a jetski. I had no prior knowledge of engines or mechanic work. Read the manual, "please fill grease in the nipple with a grease gun". Eh what? Managed to buy a grease gun but had no idea how to operate it... Found your video and it is awesome! Especially the part about the air-bubble. Thanks a lot for sharing your knowledge, saved my day! :)

It's the first time I changed a cartridge in a grease gun. I figured 'how hard can it be'? After about 25 minutes of unsuccessfully trying to get it, I gave up. I found your video, and in 2 minutes it was done. Thank you.

thank you for being the first (that I have seen so far) to warn people about locking the handle back before loading the grease tube :) I have seen the grease missiles far to often. great video

Thanks for the quick tutorial. Easy to follow, got it right the first time because of it!

Very helpful. Haven’t loaded my grease gun since I bought it fifteen years ago. Thanks

Thanks for posting this! I used a grease gun for the first time today, and this video helped me out a lot.

Thanks man. I had an air bubble and didn't know it until this video. Appreciate the help

Hey thanks a lot for the video man! I actually just got my first grease gun today I borrow them from others in the past but it was time to make the plunge pardon the pun. Your video was exactly what I needed and got me up and running .

Thanks. Many years ago I did this on a regular basis. The last time I did it was about 10 - 12 years ago and I forgot how to do it. I remember there is a direct relation between the critical nature of replacing the cartridge and the number of problems you have.

My GAWD!!!!! WHY did I not find this EARLIER, in life, not just this morning!! You sir, are not only the quintessential teacher, but your relation to being in a hurry is spot on!! Every time you need something to work or be easy, nope!! LMAO!! Subbed!!! Marion.

I just had to buy grease for the first time ever and didn't even know I needed a grease gun... so grateful for people making videos like this for noobs like me!

Thank you for that block of instructions…it is much appreciated

I rebuilt my f250 10 years before youtube was launched. In the process I bought what appeared to be a good quality american made grease gun. It never worked and I got grease all over. But the parts were so nicely made, the hoarder in me wouldn't let me toss it. Recently I accidentally ordered a grease cartridge instead of a tube and I figured why not? As simple as your instructions are, I obviously managed to get it wrong without instructions in the dark ages. Many thanks, it's working great. I think I'll go lube something now.

Thank you. I just needed someone to tell me how to do this. I only need to replace the grease tube every couple years, but I always seem to forget!

Yes sir, the way I have done it for 40 years too, simple, clean, quick and no tools. Thank you for sharing and also saving me from making a video like this, well done!

As many times that I've done this I always manage to forget and do it out of order! Thanks for the reminder!

Nice laid back video. No goofy sound effects, yelling and screaming. I feel like you were next to me teaching me something I never could do right in all my years on this planet...........Until now! This is something I was afraid to ask my friends about because I would probably get razzed about it. Thanks for your help.

Hi, Thanks for taking the time to post this. Been years since I had to load a grease gun. Saved me and others a bunch of time and frustration by looking this up first. Cheers, Nigel

OMG, I tried to load it from the wrong end! No wonder I was having just a hard time closing the bottom cap. Glad I find this video!!

Was looking for the M3 Grease gun but I watched this whole video, this guy knows his stuff and it’s easy to learn

Just got home with my new grease gun. Thanks a bunch. Serious pegboard envy, bruh! Got tons of tools on mine, but not as pretty as your military-worthy formation.

Thanks for the instruction and the time taken to provide it. Really helpful.

Great video, Never use a grease gun before. After watching your video I now feel like a pro. Thank you so much.

Thank you kindly sir. I work on a farm and I really didn’t want to ask my coworkers

30 yrs doing my own maintenance and u just taught how to do it properly!!!! Wow!

My first time using a grease gun and your video helped me. Thanks

Just bought my first grease gun. Great video. Spoke well.

Thanks, finally got this done after two years for the first time!!

Good video!! Straight and to the point with some trouble shooting. Helped me out a lot. Thank you

very helpful, thank you. Used them numerous times but changed rarely so I forgot about the air issue.

I work in a green house with a front store attached to it and I have to grease the shopping carts today ive never used a grease gun before and this video helped alot thanks man

Thank you! You just made me a hero at work.

Excellent. I have had one for years and could not figure how to use it. Now i know! Many thanks from Mauritius.

Excellent instructions! Thank you very much for the help!

Your video helped me a lot! I was able to get all my fittings greased on my Evinrude. Thanks!

Even though it's 6 years on. I've got enough info from you to fill and use my grease gun. Thank you for that.

I hadn’t changed the cartridge since i first bought my gun 30 years ago! Thanks for the lesson

Many thanks for taking the time to do this. Seems easy the way you show it but I'm there is a million ways to make a mess of the whole thing.

Love your work my friend! Helped a lot, I always have trouble with these things!

Thank you. My love always did this so I never learned. Now I have to do it and I have made a mess (whole tubes of grease everywhere) I decided I needed to go to you tube university. Nice and clear instruction with a quick troubleshoot. It is easy but not when your clueless. Thank you again.

Thank you! Just bought my first one and bout to use it. Instruction were no help but you video was!

Thank you, for this helpful advice.

Thank you for actually explaining at the end. What do you do if you’re still not getting a prime. This is exactly what was happening to me and no one else was talking about that part.

I couldn't figure out why my grease gun wasn't working. Your video helped me out, thank you.

Great Video with great instructions! Thanks a bunch.

I've replaced the cartridge before, but this time it wouldn't work after installing the new cartridge. However, after I followed your instructions concerning the air pocket, the grease gun works perfectly. Thank you for your help.

This video helped me out at work today, thanks!

Thank you for this video! I have always had a hard time with these things.

Great video and instructions! Not only did you tell me how but you anticipated what I would do wrong. Wish I had watched your video before I loaded (actually, attempted to load) my grease gun. But watched your video, corrections were made and I salvaged about half of my grease cartridge. Most importantly, I successfully greased the spindles on my zero turn riding mower.

Thank you. I have some technicians that need to get a hold of this...

Thanks... I just followed along with your video and it was a breeze!

Thank you for the advice Sir. Just purchased my first grease gun.

That was a great video on loading a grease gun. Thanks for the instruction on how to do it right!

I have to agree with on the fact that things tend to go wrong more often when you need them to go right. Murphy once said that a buttered piece of bread will fall face down more often based on the quality of flooring. Great video.

Thank you that explaination was exactly what I needed. I had to laugh when you said “when I was younger I used to try and ...”. That’s what I say even if the dumb thing I tried to do was yesterday. 🤭

Thank you sooo much for this video. It seems like a simple task but man was it frustrating.

That is a clear simple answer. Thanks

Thanks! Been so long since I put a new cartrigride I forgot how. Nice video.

Great video helped me alot was tired of getting my hands dirty to drop grease in my grease guns

So simple but I couldn’t make it work. I appreciate your help. Done!

Thank you. I needed a refresher and this did the job.

Thanks for the detailed video! 👍

got done with u-joints and never used one of these before. spot on easy, thanks!

Thankyou your video straightened me out

I have never used a cartridge before (I always squidged some grease into the tube, making a right mess) now I feel confident to buy a cartridge. Thanks for making the video

Very helpful. Thanks for taking the time to make the video.

Thanks for sharing, it's been a couple of years since I last needed to do this.

Thank you so much for your help.

This was very helpful. I have been missing a step in the cartridge loading process. I wish that I saw your video before I launched my new grease gun into the garbage can....lol Thank you.

Very clear and helpful. Thanks!

BIG thanks. It seems so simple, but for the life of me I couldn't get mine to work. After getting grease everywhere, I found you on youtube and now the gun works. THANKS

I subscribed today. Good info! Keep the videos coming.

At work I have been given the task of greasing a few machines and have never had to use a grease gun before. The dude who changed my tube out did it really sloppy like. I told him there had to be a certain way to do it that's not a pain. So here I am. Thanks!

He is exactly right. When my Dad was in a hurry during harvest I can still hear him cussing at that grease gun.

Thank you. Good explanation.
