It&#8217;s most important that cartridge tubes of grease be stored upright at all times.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How much grease is a &#8220;shot&#8221; of grease?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Most people agree that a shot of grease means one stroke from the grease gun. Of course, the amount of lubricant dispensed from one stroke of a grease gun handle depends on the model of the grease gun. But generally speaking, most guns deliver about a tenth of an ounce of grease per shot.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What exactly is grease?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Grease is a petroleum-derived or synthetic oil containing a thickening agent that&#8217;s a soft-solid at room temperature. Machinist grease is made from oil with a thickening ingredient added, typically a metallic soap. By maintaining its thickness, grease allows oil to stay in a specific place until it&#8217;s needed, instead of seeping out or draining away.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Milwaukee 2-Speed Grease Gun Milwaukee&#8217;s 2-speed grease gun delivers a whopping 10,000 PSI operating pressure along with a patent-pending pre-set grease counter that allows mechanics to dispense precise amounts of grease.
