I have two grease guns; an old pneumatic full size gun and a smaller (probably Chinese ) pistol. Both load with cartridges as I certainly couldn't be bothered mucking about (literally frown ) with tubs of grease. Both function perfectly well and if the pistol gun starts giving trouble I will replace it with something similar. Surely the most important thing is that the grease gets into the kingpins, not what brand of tool does the job.

I genarally grease the kingpins before and after any long trip. During our trip, Brittany, Ireland, Scotland, last spring I pulled into a workshop in a village in the Lakes Distrct and asked the mechanic if he could grease the kingpins for me. He was so bemused and interested by the Italian reg Morgan that he flatly refused any payment.

Despite regular greasing the original kingpins did not last. I think we have now done about 50K kilometres on the replacement hard chrome kingpins. I think the original Morgan kingpins were made out of hardened cheddar cheese.
