| Mark (EC,IN) - 11/9/2025 14:12 I know about the arrow on the box and storing grease. What I'm saying is, if I put a tube in the gun today and grease something, I'd hope it would work tomorrow morning, no matter how the tube had been stored when still in the box. I had a Lincoln gun that got to where it needed to be bled every time I used it........trashed it, and got a Millwalkie and never looked back.
If the tubes are stored laying down, its likely that there are air pockets in the entire length of the tube and it takes a long time of standing up correctly to get the grease and air back where they both belong. Many years ago I worked at a place that had boxes of grease stored in a manner that had the tubes laying on their side, that caused a lot of frustration.
Not quite so many years ago we briefly had a Lincoln battery powered grease gun. I don't think it even pumped a whole tube of grease before I gave it away. I hated that thing. We've had an Alemite before the Lincoln and we've had Alemite's ever since.
