G'day,
I have five grease guns in the USA all from Harbor Freight and so far they have worked just fine:
Two of these: https://www.harborfreight.com/pistol-grip-grease-gun-61575.html
One is for Mobil 1 (Dave Lenzi supplied hubs, knuckles, and disks fully assembled and pre lubed with Mobil 1 for Double Trouble so
that's what I stayed with).
The second is for Valvoline Synpower used everywhere else on the coach.

One of these: https://www.harborfreight.com/grease-gun-with-3-oz-grease-95575.html
This gun is filled with silicone grease to grease the lower control arm urethane bushings on the Kingsley.

I DO NOT store the Mobil 1 or Synpower guns with the cartridges in them because the pressure of the spring that forces the grease
into the pump causes it to separate. I remove them and wrap one end with Glad Wrap and put the plastic cap on the other and store
them horizontally.
Re: the grease nipple getting stuck on the zerk; click on the link below and use the Zoom tool to expand the view of the fitting at
the end of the hose.

Note that there are two hex sections, one on the hose and a second on the part that attaches to the zerk. In the photo you will
notice a section just to the left of the hex on end that has two lines on it; that is the female pipe fitting that attaches to the
hose. I have discovered that part that attaches to the zerk can come loose where the female pipe section attaches to that piece and
it makes it impossible to get it off the zerk. When this happens I tighten the fitting and then I can remove the grease gun from the
zerk.
