Can anyone recommend a decent grease gun for greasing my props/uj's?

Machine Mart sell a few different types, any of them better than others? And (should never start a sentance with 'and') should I only be using Lithium grease on the props/uj's?

Cheers

Std side lever pump from machine mart red and about twelve quid, buy a flex hose and a new nipple as the one with the gun usually isnt much cop
Throw the rigid pipe supplied in the bin
I use one of these as work to grease trucks day in and day out been okay for approx 2 years now i even bought another as i swore it was about to die but it just keeps going
Also buy the grease cartridges as filling them up by hand is a truly **** job
Any decent grease will do
Just grease them often and they will last forever

I'd stick with a simple lever arm gun, proven design, dead easy to use and all the major manufacturers make a variation of the same design .

Any GP lithium grease for your prop U/J's.

And starting a sentence with "And" was good enough for Dickens, so it should be good enough for the contributors to a Land Rover forum on the old 'tinterweb

That's the one I have together with the flexi hose. Not had any problems with it yet.
