Me too. I had to go out to the garage to make sure my grease guns work that way.
How embarrasing--68 years old and I never figured that out! No one ever told me, so I wonder if any of them knew.
Glad to hear I learned it at 57. Another thing my dad or granddad probably told me but, I was either not listening or talking

- 22 SANY SY 50U, '10 Kioti DK 40se/hst KL-401 FEL, loaded tires, KB-2485 bhoe, Tuffline TB160 BB, Woods QA forks, MIE Hydraulic bhoe thumb & ripper tooth, Igland 4001 winch, & GR-20 Log Grapple. Woods BBX72" Brush Mower. Diamondplate aluminum canopy
And for those just tuning in, Lock-N-Lube now makes 2 different units, the original, now includes a replacement jaw(s) and O-ring kit with the coupler, AND they now make a longer 'nose' XL model coupler to allow access to those zerk fittings that need a long reach extension. It also includes a parts for rebuild kit in the package. LockNLube(R) Grease Coupler | End Greasing Frustration
And as I searched for the link above I found what some other posters have mentioned seems now available - another brand of locking coupler, shown here:Univer-Co Lock-On Grease Gun Coupler (UC-31 2) by Univerco (2 13) Inc for $27.99 in Grease Guns - Accessories - Lube Equipment - Air Compressors - Automotive : Rural King
AND, James KOua made up an adapter to allow using a lincoln branded angle coupler with a standard 1/8 " zerk screwed into it that allows even more flexibility to reach the impossible location zerks, by attaching the angle adapter to any coupler, including a Lock-N-Lube, by clamping the coupler to the zerk attached to the angle coupler.
Here's the item; just add a 1/8" thread zerk into its threaded end and then attach the adapter to whatever coupler is in use on your grease gun hose. Amazon.com: lincoln Model 5883
With teh above info and say a 20volt DeWalt battery operated grease gun, like I received recently for Father's Day, one should be able to grease anything on Planet Earth with extreme ease.
Hope this info helps those struggling with the way of the dinosaurs; you know the ones that were roaming Earth only 5000 years ago, according to the extremely misinformed!:laughing:
