Grease gun storage

[AlanB]

Just wondering what the fine folks here on TBN are doing for grease gun storage and drool.

Currently keep mine laying around on a baking sheet and wipe them down occasionally but thought there would be someone on here with a better way.

A large zip lock bag and disposable gloves when I use it. It's still a big mess.

I just keep mine in a little plastic (tub?) or whatever you call one barely long enough for the grease gun.

i have a 15 gal metal barrel that i have them all hung around the edge of, probably has 10 or 12 grease guns but could fit more im sure. hang them handle out so the grease drippings go in the barrel of course. i suppose a 5 gal pail would work too, just the taller 15 gal pail is easier to not bend over to grab them. i suppose if ya had just one grease gun as some folks do you could simply use a short length of pvc pipe with a cap on the end and strap it to the wall or whatever to hold the gun in when not in use

Interesting - My grease gun doesn't drool. I use a cartridge style I bought at Lowe's HIW.

I use TRC grease. It doesn't "drool". I just hang them from hooks for storage purposes.

i use a walmart bag or something similar...

when it gets too nasty i throw it away and get another.

Mine stays in a paper grocery sack, on the concrete, under the bench. I am just guessing, but I think the concrete floor is cool enough that the Lithium grease does not drool much at all. I have been using the same sack for several years.

My gun doesn't drool, either. I just hang it on a nail. For those (the majority?) whose guns drool, does it expand out the hose or does it leak from the gun body itself?

Mine used to drool when I bought the cheap econo grease. Decided that with thousands invested in equipment that some extra dimes for grease might be a good idea. Drool problem solved. Just in case though, I hang it over my bucket of floor dri.
