I greased my propshafts today and I ended up with more grease oozing out from the end of the coupler than went into the shafts.

Does anyone have a recommendation for a coupler that doesn't leak too much?

Tecalemit make good grease guns and fittings, i have a Groz gun tho, it has a cartridge fill, so no mess when filling, real good nozzle that grips the nipple, Around 10-15 quid on ebay.

I have a JCB cartridge gun, and that itself is fine. It's just the coupling that seems to be rubbish.
It holds the nipple quite well, but fails to seal properly and so the grease oozes out from the connector.
