    Just an update on my grease gun for those waiting on the edge of their seat lol. I brought it for my boss to play with and he couldn't get it flowing at first either. He took off the hose that fits over a grease fitting and it flowed fine from there. Put it back on and stuck a spare grease fitting in the end, and then grease would flow. Dont know if something locked up in there or what, but its working fine now. I'll remember I may have to remove that hose to prime it next time I put new grease in it.

    You would be great help in our shop during outages. I've had a couple of guys who were able to get away from regular job for 5-6 weeks when things were slow. 72 hours a week or 6 12s probably $40 hr and time and a half and $130-150 day perdiem. Seems like you stay busy with couple of jobs already though.:thumbsup:

    That pressure washer looks very similar to what the welder dude who sits behind me is making. He has a hotsy but wants to run this out of his garage so its easier.

    Real talk: If someone ever invented a leakproof grease gun, they'd be a billionaire. I personally love going into my garage in the summer and finding a 12" diameter superlube puddle on the floor next to my box. Always better than having it leak inside your toolbox like before I moved it though. :(

    I need to move it from where it's sitting now in the oil catch pan to its own plastic Tupper wear like tub. Cleaning the lube spooze out of my catch can before I use it isn't fun either. It's a lose lose regardless.

    I don’t think I’ve ever seen one that didn’t leak.

    Course then the outside gets all slimy from the leakage, so then you cant get purchase to put a new cartridge in :boom:
