The Swiss made Wanner guns seem to be a good reliable choice

My favourite is the t26 tecalemit grease gun that I found in the rafters of the garage of the house I bought.

Wanner are good, my friend has an old one and it's so much better than my few year old Silverline one... I don't know if it's because it's been used more than mine but it fits alot better and more importantly it comes off the nipples with a tug instead of a faff lol

Another vote for Wanner, had one for 30 yrs, bought it the same year we got our Thirty, still have both. Easy to fill with grease and small enough to move about under a wheel arch. Also one handed operation which is much easier than trying to use the bigger grease guns which take the 400g cartridges.

Wanner for me. Mine's around 30 years old. Just the right shape for getting into awkward corners on most cars.

Another vote for a Wanner (315 twin bleed) - and you can get them as cheap as chips on ebay these days.

Couldnt agree more with this, bought one off amazon other week. Putting it on the grease nipple is easy... getting the stuff off is task and half!

Beta has a good locking connector, worth its weight in gold.

Has anyone got any idea where I can get good quality grease to fill my grease gun?  I just used the last of my Castrol MS3 molybdenum grease and it appears to be unobtainable in tins anymore.
